Tilly

I feel like it would almost be worth while graphing how long I can keep Tilly's attention with any one item - make a game out of her puppy-sized attention span! So far frozen washcloth boiled and soaked in fatty chicken juices seems to be a winner. Unfortunately, most brilliant ideas only work well the first time, and even then only for so long. After more doctors appointments where we were told Tim is doing super, better than expected, and awesome, and we scheduled his stitches-removal for two weeks out and physical therapy the week after that, and came home exhausted and cold. Walking in the dark with the grumpy pup was a hard sell, so I instead played "walk around the house" where we brought things from our kitchen, all the way through the shop at the far end of the house, up the stairs past grandpa, and into the other kitchen at the far end there, then exchanged our item for something up stairs and made the trip back, stopping and sitting at every closed door. A couple of these trips made for quite the walk! Plus we discovered the joy of playing fetch with the ball all the way down our super long hallway complete with slippery floors.
