poor puppy

Had a nice run with Maya and S. I started the intervals again, and after being ill last week it has been hard to get back into it. I did 1.5 min run/3.5 walk and it was slow going and I was defiantly feeling it at the end. Still, a beautiful night. Warm and there was a little bit of rain.

Once home, Mrs Moose asked if I could teach Maya to come in the back door. I thought this was strange, but whatever… So I took her outside and brought cookies with me. We ran out to the back, had a cookie and then when I turned towards the back door, she took off to the front. And she wouldn’t get off the front porch. She wouldn’t go for a cookie, and when I came towards her she cowered a little and was really stressed. I tried to get her to come off the stairs and she just wouldn’t. I brought her back into the house, gave her a cookie and S said he would try. He walked her to the back door and she came into the living room, tail between her legs and ran out to her kennel.

It felt awful – I didn’t do anything – no yelling, no forcing. But she was scared of that doorway. It was strange to see. Tomorrow I will take her to the back yard and play with her for a while and just see if I can get her comfortable there.

Unless anyone has any suggestions?

Oh, and Poonam lent me her video camera so I can record my Buffy presentation – this isn’t narcissism, I want to see how I act in front of a class and get used to the video.
