Kali's Favorite Odd Place

Kali has a few places she really likes - her crate being at the top of the list. The oddest place she really likes, though, is the staircase. It doesn't lead anywhere (the attic isn't finished so I keep the door closed) but it's where she goes when she wants a place of safety (she seems to know to head for high ground regardless the threat - vacuuming, a strange package, one of my dogs getting too excited) and, sometimes, when she just wants to relax.

More Breed Guessing

Apparently mixing Staffordshire bull terriers and whippets is a thing in some circles (called "staffywhippets"), particularly in the UK. While most of these photos are of rescue dogs, and thus their breed is just a guess, some of these look like they could be littermates of Kali.

Confidence Builders

When Kali isn't sure what's going on or what's expected of her, she gets very nervous. Two things that seem to take the anxiety away: telling her to sit and putting a leash on her. She associates both with good things at this point, and seems to relax since both tell her what she should be doing.

Pretty day at the dog park.
