HAHAHA I can’t take complete credit for this one — part of it is that Dakota wants to please and she’s nervous about the cat touching her (no matter how badly she wants to touch the kitty herself). Their owner is a pretty good dog owner. He’s got a “no touch” training policy — everything is corrected with words not hands, so I can make a warning noise and she checks herself.

I just don’t know how to do that Cesar move where I “claim” the kitty as mine and put her in a higher position in the pack than Dakota, so Dakota will do what Kelsy does… which is avert her gaze. Kelsy won’t look at the cat AT ALL, and if I’m sitting on the floor and the cat is on the couch behind me, she won’t come up for petting on the side of me that’s the same side as the cat. LOL She’s pretty much a perfect dog. I *heart* Kelsy.

Please come over to my house and teach Oly how to behave like this.

I am pretty sure that if Oly and Miss Kitty were in the same room together no amount of pack leader control and focus would provide us with an outcome as calm as this one…

Within a week or two she’d be fretting again, worrying and speculating about how things were gonna work out, and trying to control the situation instead of just accepting and enjoying it.

Hi. You just described my personality. My innability to ever truly reach that cat like zen (amazing imagery!) place you wrote about is one of my biggest struggles.

I’m rooting for you and hoping GREAT is just around the corner.

LOL I’ve just been feeling very *serious* lately (well, more than USUAL I should say!), and I’m wondering where all the laughter went and MY GOD, WHEN DID I GET THIS BORING?!

Because I’m still single, I get asked all the time if I’ve met someone yet (or some variation). Lately, I’ve been answering, “No, I’m planning to move to Colorado in a year and while I’m here I’m only putting effort and time into the relationships I already have, not new ones.”

When what I really mean is, “I’m in a huge funk and *I* wouldn’t even want to date me right now.”

I love it when you get all introspective.

I don’t know if this helps or hurts, but living in the moment and just being yourself is no guarantee for romantic success either. I really felt like I nailed those two in my last relationship and it still melted away into the wind. The consolation, I suppose, is that I know that there wasn’t anything else I could do and that if I had, it wouldn’t have been me.

And I do love you just the way you are.

Yay for being 30!!!

Thank you for helping me celebrate this momentous occasion and for spoiling me rotten!! What did I ever do to deserve such a wonderful, loving friend??? How is it you could love me as much as you do????

Thank you for helping me decompress yesterday– both physically AND emotionally. What a fantastic, and PERFECT, surprise you planned for me. You, my dear, are the rainbow in this often rainy world. THANK YOU.

Here’s to the saucy little devil tomato in heels that I have been dubbed when I comment on your post
