Geordie recommends....

-

Okay, tired of answering questions for a while... thought it might be fun to tell you about some Geordie's favourite places to explore... to date. As soon as we stop and get the RV set up, Geordie drives us crazy until she goes out to see and explore her new territory. She doesn't like commercial parks – even nice ones. There's an easy explanation...too many people/dogs too close to us. Usually there's road noise. But as we very rarely stay in commercial parks, so it's not a big problem.
The simple answer is – she likes to explore where there are wide open spaces, fun critters to chase, like grasshoppers or lizards, interesting smells to investigate and trails to follow. It may seem strange but get on a marked trail and she follows it without hesitation or deviation. She just took to them naturally.

Introducing Geordie

  This photo is a couple of days after she arrived,  I had my art gallery in Georgia and she slipped into the role of gallery greeter without missing a beat.  Geordie, about 4-5 months old, a flea ridden stray with attitude and a big mouth arrived on our doorstep in 2010 when we lived in a small town in the state of Georgia. Here's the story behind her name. My sister in South Africa had a character German Shepard named Geordie who loved cats. The day she died my sister called us, we all had a cry and I said we'd have a toast to the lovely girl that evening on our "New Orleans" style balcony in this small downtown area where we rarely saw any animals. We toasted her passage over the rainbow bridge, then stared in amazement as this skinny wee kitten came trotting up our stairs, meowing her heart out. She's not stopped talking since. I picked her up and said, "Geordie must have sent you!" Two weeks later my sister found C.D. (Cheerful Dog) abandoned

How did you train her to walk on a lead?

The question we get asked the most is, without a doubt, “How long did it take to train her on a lead? Why didn't you train both cats to walk on a lead?” We don't think we trained her, she wanted to try it and so it worked. Geordie was approximately 4-5 months old when she arrived on our doorstep. A couple of months later we went up to North Carolina stay at a dear friends 'cabin in the woods.' In Georgia we lived in a loft and Geordie had no chance to be outside. We were keen to let her enjoy the fabulous garden and the peace of the surroundings in N.C....the house was on a couple of hundred acres and the most noise was the bubbling brook running below the house. Before we went up there, we put a harness on her in the loft every couple of days and let her get used to it. Once up at the house in N.C., we put the harness on her for 2 days straight inside, on the third day Lee carried her outside, sat on a stump in the garden and put her on his lap. We waited. S
