Today was a good day! Finely did not bite me once (at least not a clear bite that I thought needed reprimanded to the floor). I hope this is a sign of improvement. I have changed some things about the way I was treating him such as; I did not make him step up if he didn't want to, when he didn't want to I just let him be and he would step up just seconds later once he noticed I was leaving the room and suddenly couldn't wait to step up. I waited for signs that he wanted to come to me (he's currently clipped from the pet store) before I went over to get him to cuddle. When I was cuddling and playing with him I didn't touch him as much or try to give him scratches unless he asked for them. When he started to play too roughly I told him "be gentle" and "no bite" and put an end to it so it wouldn't turn into a weird sudden aggressive or defensive biting situation which sometimes happens (I guess he gets scared in the middle of playing). I tried to have shorter interactions with him in general because I sometimes feel like he starts biting because he wants to go eat, drink or do something else and has no other way of telling me. To be fair I was not home all day so that probably helped. I am going to continue these methods, I hope it wasn't a fluke.
Ollie was so cute today. When my husband got home from work he leaped off his play stand with excitement. He never does that and it was so sweet, my husband was so excited about it too. I was a little jealous but as I was leaving to go get our dinner order my husband (Nick) took Ollie upstairs with him because I was leaving and I heard Ollie calling for me. That was sweet.
In other news, my chef event went really really really well! Everyone loved my dish. It was: Moraccan spiced meatballs, chickpea puree, roasted and raw cauliflower, parsley, olive oil and sumac. I will include a picture below and some pics from todays cuddles time!
