Late start this morning but went through the morning routine with zero complications and one remarkable change. The dogs went out together. I still keep them separated while feeding but Molly's willingness to go through the door knowing Aurora was coming with her is a huge milestone. They aren't cuddling together but this is still a big deal. I give Aurora another week or so before she will be interested in playing. Until then, I'm pleased with this development.
I took the dogs for a car ride this morning. putting Aurora in the front seat inside a laundry basket and Molly in the back seat. Besides Aurora trying to climb out of the basket and into my lap, the experiment was a success. I had to drive with one hand so I could pet her with other but overall I think it went well.
@ 10am-4pm
I ran some errands and left the dogs home for an hour or so. The house was still intact when I returned. It was a calm day of snuggles until I had to get ready to go out. I fed the dogs early and they went outside (together! I'm going to marvel at that for a while.) and before I left I led Aurora to her crate. This was not an easy task. She doesn't like the crate and generally won't go in willingly. I had to trick her to get in half way and then shove her the rest of the way while I closed the gate behind her.
I was home late and B reported that she had outside time before he returned her to the crate.
