Dog Training Orientation

[days_unfolding]

Woke up at 7 AM. Took Bella out, and she got hold of a pair of scissors that I forgot outside, and I had a hell of a time getting them away from her. And it was raining. Now I’m waiting for my clothes to dry to take a shower.

Emailed in sick this morning because my stomach was upset. Took a nap.

Bella met the groundhog that lives under my storage shed. She barked at it and stared at it, but didn't try to grab it. The silly thing went into its burrow but then came back out, so we had to go through the whole rigamarole again.

I spent part of my day at work editing close-captioned text for one of our recorded webinars. It had a really tough time with this webinar. My favorite was, for Ex Libris (the name of the vendor for our library software), it had "cleavage" :)

The orientation for the dog training is tonight. I’m scrambling to feed the critters and get my makeup put on. Made it to the dog training place. It’s not very far from my house, which is convenient. They showed examples of some of the advanced training that you and your dog can do after the introductory training. (I’ve thought of signing up Bella for nose training because she tracks the steps that an Amazon guy takes to deliver a package.) Then they talked about the introductory training and asked for questions. I said that Bella is very scared of other dogs and strange humans, and they said that the training should help her.

I’m glad that I moved my piano lesson because I got home right before it.

I’m having IBS symptoms, which is probably what my upset stomach of this morning was about. I need to get to bed soon and rest.
