    Had a crazy week. Was spring break for school and since I work at a day care I was working very long days b/c I work with 6-12yr

    Trying to find a training class for Missy. They are so expensive. Have to pay for Behavioral assessment and the class.

    Cut Missy's nails for the first time. No blood so I say it went well. She did okay she really didn't like it, was a little jerky.

    Hectic week: family emergency, watching nephews & niece. The cause of this crazy Piper from lack of attention.

    I will.
    I'm having a hard time getting Missy to stand on just my shoes(without them being on me, just the floor.)

    Is she used to standing on something so small?

    Yeah, I've gotten her to stand on small objects, but they where taller items. Thanks for the idea I'll try finding items that aren't tall maybe books.

    Drowning in fur! Missy's undercoat is coming out in clumps. I brush so much, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. ahh

    Piper learned jump into my arms. I must say catching a 50 pound dog is not as easy as 35pound Missy.

    Thank you. She learned it in just one short session 5 maybe 10 minutes.

    It's just if there is any element of wanting to asses the approaching dog Missy will be uneasy about giving you long eye contact away from it. I think that's why "look at me" didn't work well with Zac.

    I think you would both enjoy a good training class if you can find one :-)

    Yeah I can see Missy having a very hard time looking at me knowing there is a dog passing beside her. I guess that's why luring her past dogs hasn't worked that well. She wants to look at the dog, to interact with them.

    I've found a couple classes I'm interested in and are positive for reactive dogs.

    The difference in Zac with "look at that" is remarkable. He didn't even really want to look away from me for a running dog yesterday. Now if I'd have been asking him to "look at me"... LOL, not a hope!

    I wish I'd explored the idea years ago when Tigerlily mentioned it had helped Buddy.

    It's tough, darned tough, I too remember Darkie, the first dog I remember having to put to sleep. Just be kind on yourself, and remember the Dog's Prayer. Chase will look peaceful, as if he's just in a deep, pain free sleep. Stay with him for a while and know his soul will cross the Bridge safely. Write me as much and whenever you want. I'm here for you.

    Danielle, am so sad over Chase. If you want to write to me, please feel free to, as I know and understand what you're going through. I know words do not and will not take the place of having Chase with you, but sometimes it helps to have another shoulder to lean on. All my love hugs Mary

    Thank you MaryK. This is the first dog that I remember putting to sleep. I really appreciate the offer and will take you up on it.
