Sissi update

Here's the new trick at night: leave Sissi in the backyard until she barks/whines too much, then bring her into the crate in the living room (somewhere after midnight). We had a poo free house last night. Eventually she might figure out the dog door that way.

Brought her around the corner to Barb's house to play with her dog for 30 minutes today. She did very well of course, burned some energy. Need to do that more often, since our other girls don't play with her.

Walking her on the leash is tough. Keeping her by my side will probably tear up my rotator cuff due to constant pulling in every direction. I have to drag her out of the yard to get her to walk, and when she knows we are on the way back she pulls ahead and wants to run home.

We need to figure out an AKC name, but Keiko didn't like my choice:
Elizabeth Princess of Poo

Yuli hurt her back somehow. She can no longer jump up onto our bed and has a tough time with steps. Somewhere in the lower back we think, near her hips. Hoping that a week of rest will relieve the pain.
