The Wanaque Reservoir is about 15 minutes from me. I know the area in the pic well, it was part of a former commute.
For all who missed it, there is big news from the world of Miss Leela. She came down the stairs the other night, no prompting from me. Apparently she became impatient and wanted her treats. So she came almost all the way down, meowed and chirped a bit (she doesn’t have much of a voice, though she used to), went back up, came down again and went back up. That time I followed her and gave her praise and treats. Last night I brought the treats down and sat on the chair on a landing almost at the bottom of the stairs. It took a while, but she came down, one stair at a time. It almost seems like she forgot how to maneuver stairs. The other night she flopped down them like a bunny – 2 front feet, 2 back feet. Last night it was each paw per step. I am going to keep it up so, like Buttons had said, it will seem routine. The key is that Comet can’t be around. Last night I did this while he was napping by the fire. Poor guy, he comes up at treats time, but doesn’t really want treats. He just likes to look at her!
