The farm walk had some bonuses yesterday! Stella met Opie and Aunt Bee, the pigs on a new farm being built in George the Border Terrier's neighborhood. Stella and Douce were nose to nose with those pigs, who were making very piggy noises. I had to hold the dogs' leashes tight to keep them from sticking their faces through the electrified fence. The pigs, for their part, seemed incredibly uninterested in the Shih Tzus. Stella, on the other hand, seemed to find the pigs much more interesting than the 8 week old, completely adorable Sheltie puppy brought to agility class last week. The humans gush over him, but Stella thinks he's a complete snooze.
I called Tufts today to notify them that nothing has happened since Stella started on Buspar. Absolutely nothing. Yesterday, I saw Stella out watching the neighbors use a backpack leaf blower to blast every blade of cut grass from their lawn to kingdom come. You would think that would send a dog with noise phobias racing for cover. Nope. She was at her post, calmly monitorning the situation. This is, remember, the same dog who still runs from the toaster popping as if the whole house were exploding.
Roscoe is on 5 mg twice/day, so I think there is a fair amount of room here for Stella to adjust her dosage. They weigh about the same.
