Miss Rosa is a bit apprehensive about the crate, but we have to be able to safely secure her in it for feeding times and pup rotation.

So, I decided to take a different approach with the help of Mantou and my little buddy Odie.

Note: Mantou thought sitting in his favorite crate with me was the best thing ever.

In the end, Risa climbed in with me, had a snuggle, and some locks from her Kong.

Go get some cookies and ice cream, help support a wonderful local business.

COOKIE, COOKIE, COOKIE!
You may have heard, or maybe not, but the absolute gems around the corner at Cookie Crimes had their window smashed and a load of stuff stolen... Again... For like the 5th time... This has happened to us a couple of times, so we know that it is, in a word, disheartening. So what are the proposed solutions? "Maybe get roll shutters! There is a grant through the city!". Sure, that is a good thought, and a great program but it isn't always a realistic fiscal option for a business (aside from giving off total "well, what was she wearing!?" Vibes). So what is the plan? Is there actually a plan here? Do you want Batman?! Because this is how you get Batman?! It's all above my pay grade, but it should be in someone's, no doubt.

This is in no way an attack on the obviously desperate people who continue targeting businesses like these. I am certain that life is awful and this isn't a reason to lose compassion entirely here, but we should at least admit this is a problem... Again, where are any answers? Because I certainly have questions, such as... How does a place that literally sells cookies and ice cream get broken in THREE TIMES in one season? It sounds like comedy, but it isn't funny to people just trying to make a go of things and it feels like we are spinning our wheels on this... There is a saying tragedy plus time equals comedy... Hopefully, this saying isn't the proposed solution to these problems. Sometimes I wonder if it is to some people...

My only answer is that we have to show up for each other through this... And not just this week when things are at the top of my mind. Ongoing support. Support your local people and businesses... so we can all afford to shutter every one of our windows rather than look our issues in the eye and actually do anything about them.

In the meantime, with the assistance of (best bartender in town) Braeden Nickel's art skills, we made Cookie Crimes a tip bucket... A REALLY big tip bucket. Go buy some cookies and ice cream, and leave a nice tip. Support these fine folks who actually give a damn about our community before we lose them all while our heads are buried in the sand.

Just a friendly reminder from Klaus, cats are also extremely responsive to positive reinforcement training.

This little guy goes wild when he hears the clicker. He pretends he's dumb, but he's actually a very impressive little guy.

I most definitely intend on expanding my services to cat training as well. Fun fact, they are actually way easier to condition and tend not to go through the same extreme adolescent rebellion stage.

I think I was pretty much waiting for an excuse to own my very own toy breed .

We have a little 7 pounder staying with us for the month, I didn't want him to feel left out.

It's so little! Note, my hands are tiny.
