Pica's doing great!

Here she is at Kelly Point Park.

It's been pointed out to me that most of my entries about Pica have been negative, but she's been doing great lately! Hasn't chewed any shoes for at least two weeks. Has been cute as hell at play and at rest. Yesterday she got kind of picked on by a few dogs -- first at the dog park, then at Kelly Point Park by a pack of vizslas, and then in her own yard by the toy poodle upstairs who had company that emboldened her to chase poor Pica around and around. So that was too bad. But she seems to have recovered. We walked to UP this morning and will go back to the dog park this afternoon. There's this one boxer that comes there in the morning who likes to kind of pick on Pica -- the problem is, Pica acts like prey, running around and trying to get other dogs to chase her, so any agressive dogs who generally like to pick on other dogs love to pick on her. Anyway, hopefully this afternoon will be better. She's been enjoying herself a lot most of the time -- it's pretty charming to watch, actually -- she's got a lot of doggie friends, so don't think she's lonely or anything. She's sleeping on my feet right now.
