This morning Ari took me to an off-leash dog park, and I showed those 4-legged dogs a thing or two! I fit right in with the pack, even though I think I’m the boss. Ari learned that when you bring a tripawd to a dog park, you will be asked “what happened to his leg?” many, many times. Somebody said there’s another tripawd that comes to the park too. I frolicked until I was very tired, and then she helped me up into the van, and I slept the whole way home. I had a blast!
I also decided that I like having ointment rubbed on my paws, that fish oil tastes great, and that I like playing in big leaf piles. I’m learning to keep all of my toys in one spot, and the cat and I are getting along really well.
At home, we spent all day working on my separation anxiety. I was just nervous b/c I lived at the Vet and shelter for four months, and I’d seen so many people I’d liked leave and not come back. All day long Ari put on her getting-ready-to-go stuff, but then didn’t. Or she did, but would come back before I even got a chance to whine. I’d be waiting on the other side of the door when she came back in. It got to the point where I didn’t even bother getting up when she left, because she kept coming right back anyways! So now I’m not too worried about it, she leaves and comes back a lot! Although the longest she’s been gone so far is around 15 minutes; I’m not sure yet what I’ll do when she’s gone for hours.
Anyways. Another great day!
Sounds like a fun adventure at the dog park! You show those four legged dogs who is boss!!!
Koda, always remember, if you think you are the boss, you ARE the boss!
Well, uh, except at home.
My Mom wants to know if your Mom will come over and do that separation anxiety game with me?
