Andy and I got to the store early and walked in with the dogs, letting Jana know we had arrived and then since Nancy was finishing up a reading, we took the pups for a walk around town.
Andy kept the pups with him and I went in at 2 p.m. for Chip's reading.
Before I even got a chance to sit down and give her Chipper's photos and my questions, Nancy laughed and said she had to start with Kia because when we had came in with them, Kia had interrupted her conversation with the previous clients. :o :rolleyes: :D
She wanted Nancy to let me know that:
* She feels much better mentally
* feels not so insecure. Much more confident.
* Changes do not seem to have affected her (such as the move and the marriage)
* She's more confident because I'm more confident
Nancy feels if we had adopted a dog like Chipper two years ago, it would of been disasterous as Kia would of had a mental breakdown. She would not of been strong enough to deal. However, she's healed so much since Nancy last read her that she's okay with the new guy but she does have some issues that are addressed below with Chipper's reading.
Now... onto Chipper (with a little bit of Kia's thoughts):
* feels much better to me. Much stronger to me. Feels as though there is a lot of strength
* He likes Kia much more than she likes him. He is annoying her. This change from 1 dog to 2 dogs has disrrupted her. He doesn't stop with her. She gives him signals but he doesn't listen.
* He has so much energy - Feels like he's bursting with energy
* Does not feel that he has the need to be top dog. Just wants to play. Is not interested in alpha status - just playing
* Biting Kia's legs is his dumb way to entice her to play. He thinks it is going to get her to play. Nancy described him as being a big goofy boy. He's not dumb in the sense of being unintelligent. He just gets so focused on something (such as Kia) that he doesn't know when to quit.
* Feels nothing in the stomach now.
* Possible arthritic problems in the left shoulder joint while he's still young - left wrist hurts
* Not mimicking itchiness - house feels dry
* Watch the cats!! (Warning from Nancy to me - Chipper sees the cats as toys - teach him while he's still young not to bother them)
* Fun, happy, not a lot of cares in the world
* Just wants to play
* Charlie! (See's it as a fun guy name - maybe his previous name?)
* Loves to play! Fun guy - lots of life
* Likes you a lot. Loves the home.
* Saw himself as a street wanderer prior to Animal Control picking him up. No baggage - has a lot of energy! (seeing a pattern? ;) )
* Easy going - Change would not disrupt him.
Nancy suggested Doggy Day Care. Something to exhaust him and stimulate him. He just has so much energy that the play time and walks we are offering him are not tiring him out. So he turns his focus on Kia. It's not that Kia dislikes him, she's just becoming very annoyed and for her's and Chipper's well being, we have to find an outlet for his energy.
I mentioned agility and Nancy agreed it'd be good to try.
We picked up a Canine Genius toy (http://www.caninegenius.com/) and a Kong Stuff-A-Ball. Chipper has spent a couple hours now trying to figure out the Canine Genius toy which means a moment of peace for Kia. :)
Jana gave me some information on a couple different Doggie Day Care places.
Everything she shared was just right on. Since he's been feeling better we've noticed a change. Nancy described it as night and day. Night when he was sick to day when he's 100% better. He was likely not feeling well when we adopted him.
It was great seeing Nancy again and Kia didn't butt into the reading too much. Just kept reminded us that he was annoying her. :p ;) :o
Hopefully we can help fix that. :D
