wombi fotos

the first pic is wombat yesterday morning. she's staring at the top of the fence. she stayed like that for a few minutes (i watched her for a bit, went and got the camera--without her following me-- took several photos and then watched her a bit more). i have no idea what she's staring at though. no bird, cat, bug..... nothing but a metal fence and a wood post sticking up on the other side of it. she just stares at it every once in a while. her other obsession is the side of the house. there's vents along the bottom of the house and she's started going up to them and sniffing them obsessively. there's probably a rat or something living under the house.

this is what my poor princess looks like now:

i wore her out. after work i took her for a BIG walk (we've been doing lots of little walks lately) cuz i had to run up the pharmacy. we got 2 houses from home and ran into this random scotty dog that walks himself all the time. she tried to go a bit nuts but i calmed her down and we sat and talked about it with some treats. walked a bit further (the other dog walking parallel to us on the other side of the road) and then sat and talked about it a bit more when she started to focus on the dog. we did it a few times and got past him. it worked out good that scotty dog had no interest in her. the parallel walking thing is what the trainer recommended to help her get used to dogs. the rest of the walk was fairly dog free and then i left her outside a shop on her own for the first time (only cuz the pharmacy has a big front entry area with a dog water dish and i could watch her the whole time i was in there). i think she was a bit freaked out and confused at being left out there but she did good (the whole 90 sec she was alone). now she's exhausted.
