Almost magically since my last post, Tita has started to control herself and our nights have been free of bites and attacks. I guess, that was the dark night before the dawn. I hope so anyway. We'd been religiously yelling and holding her down when she bit us for about a week and it felt like little had changed. I guess it just took longer or she had one last night of testing the limits.

Don't get me wrong, she will still bite and try to scratch you if you hold her when she doesn't want to be but it does take something to provoke her now. She's more amenable to random pets and scratches without it turning into a battle.

We try to never play with her with our hands and if she's in a killer mood we throw her stuffed horse at her and watch her massacre it. She then carries it around between her legs like a lion with its kill.

In other news, it's been a tad hot lately. Isn't that right girls from the QRoo?? I started wondering how hot it really is and if it is really cooler over here on the coast than in Merida. So, I got these new weather toys on the blog page, they're over there at the right. I filched the address from Cancun Canuck because it shows the feels like number which is some combo of the temp and the humidity. If these things are right, it is actually hotter in Playa del Carmen on the water than it is in Merida. How odd is that?

It was all I could do today not to just retreat to the bedroom, turn on the AC and stay there. The main problem today is that until late in the afternoon there was no wind. Then, like someone turned on a fan, this rain squall blew through and now it is lovely. I'm sitting here in front of the open doors with waves still crashing from the stormlet and a cool fresh breeze blowing in. I hope it lasts through tomorrow.
