no pics.  just words.  I did something.   I went Out and it is still very very hot.   And Tay had parked herself in the bathroom.   It wasn't even dusk.  Too soon to park oneself in the bathroom.  So i went to get her,  with that black leash she hauls around with her.  Brought her OUTSIDE and i don't know why i did it, but i Opened the Big gate and took her out.  We walked….her all Wired smelling, listening, tasting, seeing,  All totally Wired and we walked around the periphery of the place here,  around back and over and through the abandoned place next door back around to the gate and Chinche had taken advantage of an open gate as she sometimes will and was wondering over across the road and for whatever reason,  i just let go of Tay's leash and OFF she went…over, here, there, over there and here Fast and Running and Chinche was just snuffling about across the road and they WENT….of their own accord.   Finally,  someone popped a firecracker far down the road and Tay whizzed home and i got her leash and we went to find Chinche who was nosing around at the end of the fence and we all came back.  Now,  gate is closed.  But everything is DIFFERENT.  Tay is back in the bathroom,  but Chinche is somewhere in the Room and Tazmeena, cat, is lying on Chinche's bed.   Everything has changed.  Just with this one single thing.   It's all rearranging like a Kaliedoscope.  We'll see what tomorrow is like.

    That was brave, and interesting too. Quite a good experiment. i wonder if she would have come without the fire cracker. I used to LOVE walking with dogs late at night when I had them…the neighborhood deserted on weekday nights and the companionship lovely. Here, in the city never without leads…except when–feels like way back when…in the seventies through to the nineties…we had the back alleys and a garden…then, without leads. Sigh.

    Good one Grace, now Tay knows more about what is Outside, the smells from out there must say a lot when she is patrolling the boundary from Inside.

    i don’t know whether it was good or not. I woke in the middle of the night and though…OH NO!, what did i DO????
    but it’s all an experiment. I have NO idea…am just
    following Instinct and my instinct may be all off kilter…
    i have no idea. But i don’t want her to need to be working off fear. That will make a mess that will be hard to
    clear. Knowledge is Knowledge. and is always good…?????
