6 days and Gitta is over the plastic bags. Not a new record for her, just status quo. I hope that as time goes by her adjustment to new things takes less time, but at least when she is over it she is over it. She stood and yawned. Amy took pictures, so if she sends some to me I will post them.
I am going to try working on 2 things at the same time this next week, the noise of clippers, big ones and small ones and plastic bottles. I really am going to end all this with being able to open and shut umbrellas around her and walk around her with one over my head. Sounds silly doesn't it but happens all the time at horse shows with spectators.
Now believe it or not I have been doing all this desensitizing with Theo too just for fun and so he doesn't feel left out. I can't get anything to bother him, he just wants to eat everything. I'll bet the umbrella would get his attention though.
