It's been Awhile

I just haven't felt like blogging lately so now it's time to catch up.  Caesar went to another home to be fostered because I think I heard Phyllis say that I scared him. I think Phyllis thought that when a blind dog came into the house all the other dogs would behave like Mother Theresa (God rest her soul), but it has not been the case.  Elvis really does not like me and when I walk into his crate and he is in there he comes out charging.  I think I wake him up and that he is not all bad.  I have made very little progress, but some..  I can jump on the couch and lay on my back so Phyllis can rub my belly and I walk several trimes a day and smell everything.  It's amazing how many different things out there to smell  I never leave Phyllis at all.  I am at her feet waiting to be touched all the time unless I take a nap and then I like my special bed under the desk.
   I heard Phyllis talking on the phone and she said that dinner time sometimes reminds her of a movie she once saw about Helen Keller.  She says that in one scene before her teacher comes to help her, Helen was walking around the dinner table just grabbing at anything she could and stuffing it in her mouth.  She tried signing water in my paw like in the movie but I didn't have a clue.  Phyllis says no disrespect to Helen.  I am not that bad but when I know the food is coming I get excited and sometimes one of the bowls goes flying.  Last week after I ate I backed up and pooped on the floor and my back leg went into the bowl of food and then I walked away.  Phyllis said if she didn't laugh she would cry.  She tried to pick me up so she could wash my food but I ran away and left the food markings all tthe way from the kitchen to the bedroom.  I still have not wagged my tail and still do my business whenever I feel the urge but now I have a belly band on all the time so I can't pee on the floor.  Can you imagine, Phyllis has to buy Poise for me so I won't leak on the floor if I have an accident.  People probably think it's for her when she buys it but so what. 
Chewy was adopted but he came back and I am sure he will be filling you in soon.  When Caesar got to his foster mom in The Villages she could not believe how timid he had become (she had him for two days before he came here.)  They think it is because the other dogs can tell I am different and so they behave differently around me and Caesar was afraid of me.  I really need to be fostered in a home with no other dogs to bother me.  When I walk outside if a new dog comes up to me I get so scared I try to run away.  Phyllis continues to subject me to this exercise because in her mind it will help me to be less afraid over time.  I hope she's right!  We will chat again soon.  No applications to adopt me yet.
