Ellie is losing one fear which I wish she wouldn't. Ever since I got her, she's been afraid of feet. Not just while the people-feet are walking (which is a fine and reasonable fear for a 10 pound animal living with humans to have), but if I'm on the sofa with my feet up, she'll just stare at them warily and avoid that end of it. (I guess she must have gotten kicked before she came to me, which makes me both sad and angry.)
Suddenly, my feet are a-ok with her. Unfortunately this is a 24/7 thing, so if I'm exercising or just walking around, she no longer feels the need to avoid me. I already know full well how to do the "cat walk" (I barely pick my feet up off the floor while at home), so HOPEFULLY I won't step on the poor girl, but I'd rather she not be so trusting in this case.
Work on getting her to let me touch her feet is going really, really slow. I think we're still making progress, but this is one of the slowest things we've worked on so far.
She sure is getting friendly though (on her terms). When I'm not looking at her, she comes up on my desk and headbutts me endlessly. Poor girl has poor balance, half the time she falls off my desk trying to rub against me. (I have to let her fall, if I try to catch her, it sets off the GRABBING ME EVIL MONSTER NO NO NO RUN reaction.)
- Spiffy free fanart of Thistle! I love his armor in it so much. :D It's funny, I can remember each piece of his gear, he worked so hard for it! Art by the wonderful![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alicethesable.
- I spent about an hour sitting at the creation screen in WoW, trying to come up with a name for a new alt (paladin). Finally I gave up and I'm trying to get a name freed instead (I suspect I'll have less luck this time than all the other successes though). Ironically, Thistle started life as a Tauren paladin, rerolled as Alliance worgen hunter, faction changed back to Horde.
- The Walking Dead is SUCH a good show. This week's ep killed me! Arg! And while I don't usually like scary things, I find I actually enjoy how it makes me jump and gasp. Holy cow, this week's ep though. Arg!
I went in search of Walking Dead fics, but didn't have much luck. The heydays of HP fandom has spoiled me-- more outstanding fanfic than you'd ever have time to read.
Odd, I always thought heyday was "hayday", people excited because it was time to harvest the hay or something. Heyday makes less sense.
