Oh, dear, Georga, I remember when our cat had kittens and how hard poor Putter tried to line those kittens up! It does NOT work.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2003 Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 The one time she did this I wish I had had a camera to take a picture. I bought this little wooden bench at the thrift store that the back rest of the bench says " time out " . She lined piggies up on that. It was really cute.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2003 Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 LOL! Kittens are much more uncooperative than piggies.

I laugh a little bit about how Cheyenne lines things up. She has gone as far as to line up the PET guinea pigs. Do you know what a chore that is? Sometimes piggies don't want to be lined up. Sometimes they will line up but they don't want to stay for very long. It's all quite interesting to watch. She has started playing with toys normally. It never dawned on me that she lined things up until one day she just lined up everything, the touchy feely books on the floor, her stuffed ducks on the TV, the piggies..... She isn't as quarky as the other ones so I often wonder what the deal is with her. Anyway, I have noticed that she doesn't really play with anything (except her ducks and books) on her own unless someone engages her. Dakota is good for that. He is always right in someones face. I think he has been good for Savannah. LOL! She used to sit and stare, totaly zone out and you could yell in her ears or smack her and she would stay zoned. It was really disturbing. Nothing could reach her. It was like she just totaly lost touch with the world. Dakota is always in her face making her read to him or play with him with his moose or something. If it wasn't for Dakota forcing interaction out of her I think we would still have that zoning problem. He is like built in therapy. LOL! When Dr Fry told us that he felt we were doing just fine with her and he wouldn't recommend any outside services I thought he was nuts. He told us just to keep doing what we were doing. All we did was give her Dakota for a brother. LOL! Anything else that we did I can't remember. I think I just did what I felt she needed without thinking consciencely about it.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2003 Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 LOL! He would probably demand extra milk. Like he doesn't drink enough of it for whatever reason. It is 1030pm and he is still harassing Savannah demanding she intertain her. They are the only two awake. I have no idea why he does this to her but it has been really good for her.
