Brrr! It's cold out there.



Ari and his Canadian-themed jammies





Luckily Ari had a spare pair that Monkey could borrow!









Trance, lookin' handsome in his warm, cozy jammies.
You can tell winter's here. The PJ's come out at Faerie Tail! Unfortunately, that also means that the boyz don't want to venture out into the yard for potty time. So we suffer a bit of a setback with regard to potty training. I have shovelled a path in the yard and an area for them to use which makes things much easier, but I'm hoping this weather doesn't last too long. EEK!
Monkey is doing well. He is going through a fear period right now and has had a bit of a setback with crate training ( which is why the crate is in the living room with the door open ). I am teaching him that the crate is not a bad thing. His food is placed inside the crate and the door is left open so that he gets used to it. The next step will be to put him in the crate and hold the door closed. Then we'll put him in and lock the door, make him wait at least 5 minutes without crying. The whole process shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks and hopefully this time it will stick.
Monkey is such a sweet little boy and I am quite fond of him. But I cannot keep him, so I am still looking for the right home for him. If you are interested in learning more about Monkey, please contact me for more info. faeryhound AT yahoo DOT CA
Thanks for stopping by!

That silly Monkey! I bet he's faking his crate issue just to stay with you for training longer. Wink. Wink. He looks so happy and loved. You're doing a great job with him!

Smooches to Monkey and pals...xoxo
