Welcome to #CheckIn for Thursday, May 30

Hi there, Cass here. I will be your host for the next week. If you are #NewHere; welcome!

Bennie has just turned 6! He’s a reminder of how much our lives have changed in the time we’ve had him. I was staying with my dad for 6 weeks when Bennie joined our family because his wife was out of the country. It was the first thing I did as a retiree! Bennie was a handful as he was very protective and guarding led to biting the hand that fed him. Especially if there were paper products like tissues involved. I was ready to give up but worked with a behaviourist instead.

I was reminded how far he’s come when I was doing something in the kitchen and dropped a paper towel on the floor. I finished the task and then picked it up. Bennie didn’t even pay attention to it.

Has there been a welcome change in behaviour that you haven’t noticed? Do share!

A little bit of housekeeping. The Nerdica instance has been discontinued so all those reference addresses have been removed. Also, there is a new avatar but I noticed it wasn't showing when Rod posted🤷‍♀️

Today’s topic is suggested by @cass_m@friendica.myportal.social but there’s always an element of randomness. Grab your beverage preference (pixel or not), follow Wheaton’s Law and enjoy the space.
