Violet has grown quite a bit..  She now can leap on and off of the ottoman.  This made the playpen obsolete because when I tried to put her in it last weekend, she took a flying leap over the fence and landed on the ottoman.  Where is a camera when you need it? 

We still keep part of the playpen up to protect electronics.  Our other milestone is that she is back to eating out of her bowl again.  We still like our little bonding ritual of me breaking up her little “chicken drum-stick” dog biscuits and feeding them to her piece by piece as she snuggles on my shoulder, but after hiding liver treats at the bottom of her kibble, she has decided she likes to eat out of the bowl again.  I can’t figure out what scared her away from the bowl because she uses a matching bowl for water.  Go figure…

Wondering what the blue and white device is below??  Ever heard of the Wiz Dog?  Check out the link, it is a great device for a condo dog.
