Driving lessons

Another stressful day. Driving lessons.
The third time in the car and she is getting calmer. I have to hold her tightly with harness and leash to keep her from climbing over my shoulder. She is doing pretty well as long as the traffic is slow and stopped. I am very glad she is not getting motion sick.
Max our # 3 dachsie threw up into Andy's shirt and Fausti was good for about 5 miles before it was all over.
The best part for Schatzi is watching all the incredible activity in a busy parking lot like Walmart. She sees Emmett and Crissy leave but does not look for them coming back. Closing car doors still startles her and worse the back hatch, because she cannot see around the corner. My father could look around corner. As a little girl I never understood how he did that.

Weather wise, it was great ! Fogged in and the second day of rain since probably September.
Schatzi of course did not like to get her beautiful hair wet to visit the back yard. Andy took her out and to keep them both dry, opened an umbrella ! Super panic mode again, trying to dash toward the deck and hiding there. It is amazing how strong and stubborn a little doggie can be.
I hope Schatzi is on a different poo time table very soon. She has to go in the middle of the night. She is playful like a little puppy and the tail is wagging , what a nice way to let us know. Emmett puts on pants, shoes and a jacket and carries her out. Nothing happens, because good things take times.
So back to bed, all nested in and then the repeat performance. In the dark there is always a chance for the fox to come by or a raccoon rooting around. We have no mountain lions in this part of town that we know of, but Coyotes could be a different story.
