Being a Rock Star!

We have had a lot happen in the last 24 hours, and Kasey has handled it like a dream.

First and foremost, the furnace went out. Yes, it is 18 degrees outside, and we have no heat. The first day we toughed it out at home. Day two, after it dipped to 40 degrees in the house while we were sleeping, we decide that we could not stay another night in the house. It is hard to ask people to take in 3 cats, 2 dogs, and 2 people, but our friend Cathy did. We went over after church Sunday night. Kasey and Holly were stressed. Moving form thing to thing... Panting. The cats were very stressed because Cathy has two cats of her own that were locked in the bedroom. Rescue Remedy was given to everyone including the cats. Grover wasn't even allowed out of his kennel until this morning because he was being so mean. He made Holly cry. It was cute and sad at the same time. Kasey didn't settle until it was time to sleep. He climbed up on the bed between Bryce and I and passed out. By the way, we don't allow him in the bed, but he knows how to take advantage of a situation. The only concerned was that he did not want to relieve himself outside. I tried taking him out with the gentle leader and then without. No difference. I brought both of them home around 7 am. Bryce and the cats are still there sleeping while I try to warm up the house from 42 to about 52. :)

Kasey's other Rock Star moment was at Narnia. Two of the trainers meet Kasey and I there on Sunday with their dogs. Kasey got to play with them, and then we started working with him on his leash in the presence of the other dogs. He and Nash walked opposite ways around the room. Anytime Kasey looked at Nash and then at me, I would click and treat. He did really well. No freaking. Kathie suggested we do it again, and then add another dog. I was happy for Kasey because he didn't loose it which is very stressful.
