Title: keeping me confused
Post by: steptoe91(tozie) on April 09, 2011, 09:02:55 am
yup. skittles is keeping me confused. He asked to go out yesterday. so i got my pants on <snicker>, put on my tennis shoes, got the harness, put skittles on my lap.... and when i went to put the harness on.... he bit the piss outta me.   :Oh:  i was like WTH??? I asked him again "ya wanna go for a walk? go bye bye?" he says to me "gotta go bye bye" so i tried to cover his eyes to put the harness on. nope. bit me again. not a playful nip, a "stop that now!" nip.  :stop:  so i held the harness out to him and told him "if you dont wear the harness you cant go bye bye. so what do ya wanna do?" he looked at the harness, fluffed his wings and climbed to my shoulder. I took that as a decline. so i put the harness down. he climbed to my lap. I picked the harness up to show him and he acted scared, ran up my arm. so i put it on me. he and i played for a bit with me wearing the harness. I was still trying to figure out if he was scared of the harness, scared i'd force him to wear it when he didnt want to, or what? i assumed he changed his mind about going out, no problem. i've done the same thing myself, started to do something or go somewhere and by the time i was done "getting ready" i'd changed my mind.
BUT for your amusment, here's me and skittles playing with the harness:

Skittles, "Mom, this is the right way to wear a harness"   :laffhrd:..."although I so love to go on outings....maybe I can train you and take you out"!
