Inu went hiking

Inu went hiking with us for the first time on Saturday morning. She responded well to the vaccination a week ago and we thought it was a good time for inu to explore other places beside home.

Inu was reluctant to walk with us at the beginning being at the new place. She sniffed around the area and walked just bit by bit. We sort of pulled and forced her to walk and eventually she started to catch up with our paces.

Along the walking trail, some people would stop and gave inu some petting on the head and played a little bit with inu. Inu was very excited seeing all these strangers, wagging tail fast 180 degree side by side. We were actually a bit jealous about that. Since when inu was so excited when seeing us :|.

We hiked only about a quarter way since inu was panting heavily on the way up. We were afraid that we even needed to hold inu down the hill. Inu was able to regain some energy after drinking our diamond water. It was a great hike and we decided to let inu walk more next time.

We thought inu would be tired after the hike and would at least take some nap during the day. Surprisingly, she seemed to have endless source of energy running around the house whole day. When we were tired, inu still refused to stop playing.

We took a measure for inu again over the weekend from front toe to back toe. Inu grew another 10 cm to 74 cm. It felt great to see inu growing up. She has become more beautiful than ever. We kept crossing our fingers and hoping one day inu would not bite on us so furiously while playing with us.

Housebreaking wise, inu has made great progress. She has not been pooping in the house for more than 2 weeks now. On a few occasions, she would poop in her cage and in the toilet, I guess that's acceptable. Inu peed in the living room only once in the past week when she was playing so excitedly. I guess she forgot that she needed to go until she could not hold anymore. Otherwise, she would walk to her cage to pee most of the time.

Inu has developed a strange behavior lately. When she sees us after being left alone for hours, she appears so excited until cannot hold her pee anymore and would pee right at the spot where we pet her. I remembered D said that ah ni had the same problem before. The solution is not to make them too excited when approaching them after leaving them alone for hours. Well, it's so cruel to do that after thinking the fact that we leave inu in the toilet-cage for 18 hours/day.
