When Cat left last week, our homework was to put Clyde in the kennel, and try to work up to five minutes of leaving him in there. Well - weekends are busy - I know a good excuse. I planned to work him yesterday. You know how that was changed. So I did work him a little. I did get him to stay in the kennel without freaking out for about a minute, but getting him to go in initially still isn't happenng. He needs to be tempted with a treat. I guess that this is part of the frustration that Cat has with him - he just doesn't want to do things on command the first time - that isn't his desire.
After the excitement yesterday, things were quite calm. We are still awaiting blood test results. I hope this was a one time event. I hope there was something unusual, and it will never happen again. I really don't want an epileptic dog, but... These things happen with rescue animals, and you take what comes with them. Not to sound like a martyr, but I am proud of the lives I have saved by having rescue animals.
In brighter news, my mobile mouse arrived yesterday. I have been using laptops for many years now, and the first time using the mouse were amusing to say the least. But it soon came back. I had emailed the facilitator of the digitizing class telling her that I learned (the hard way) during the class that I had to have the mobile mouse. She said that she has heard that before. I believe I can draw lines now!!
Today is another training day. We shall see what comes of it. Soon we will be turned loose to be the trainers. Oh my!
