Day 13 - Ear kisses

Friday, Feb 7, 2020 @ 6-8 am

I suspected yesterday that Aurora has been going outside with Molly but not doing anything.  This morning, I brought her outside and stood there until she did her business.  She peed right away, but then ran back to the door to return inside while Molly finished up.  Because I didn't follow right away to let her in, she came back down the stairs and back into the yard to poop.  I think that's exactly what happened yesterday. I may have to continue monitoring her morning venture outdoors.

Dogs inside for breakfast, Aurora in the crate for hers and today she went in and stayed there to wait for her bowl.  Progress!  The most notable thing to happen this morning was ear kisses.  Molly each morning will get a hug from me and she licks my ear when my face is next to hers. It's just a weird thing that we do.  She licks my ear and I tell her that I love her too. This morning I managed to get both dogs onto the couch at the same time, on either side of me.  When I reached over to hug Molly and turned my face to let her lick my ear, Aurora put her front paws on my back in order to reach my other ear, which she licked.  I laughed out loud when she started climbing on my back like a goat, and laughed more when she licked my ear.  This only encouraged her and she kept trying to do it again. Better start today, always nice to start with a smile. I'm off to work, leaving Aurora free to roam.
