Oh, I've got a complete list of behavioral problems...

1. Digging. She turned our backyard into a battlefield and I'm still seeing dark clouds when I even think of reshaping her garden design. When we go to the dog park, she starts to dig and she won't come when I call her. It freaks me out, even though I call her while holding her favorite snack: dried catfood.

2. Eating catfood. We've got an open plan house and baby gates are no option as we would need about 10 or so lined up next to each other. Now the cats eat supervised on the kitchen counter.

3. Pee when dad comes home. Still can't control her bladder when he hero returns home from work. And the worst is: she'll quickly refill her 'tank' when she hears the gate opens and knows he'll be inside within a minute!

4. Sleeping in bed. As soon as we're in deep sleep, she crawls silently into our bed, snuggles up between us with her head on my pillow. She has puppy breath and snores.

5. Destroying mom's books. I read a lot and sometimes I forget my book on the couch or on the table. When I return I find Cookie on the sofa covered in little pieces.

6. Running away. This started last week and it seems like she's gotten into adolescense. She ran out of the front door, jumped over the gate, raced over the street (lots of traffic as we live near the town center) and wouldn't come back and kept running. Thankfully the cars stopped until I was able to catch her (in my dressing gown!!!)

Thank God she stays away from the cat litter box now.
