Update Photos: Added Details To Upper Layer

Always happy to help❤️. Good luck in your training :)

we went for a nice long walk in the park yesterday. for the first half, she was on a long line and harness (to sniff and explore), and the second half, a collar and short leash (loose leash practice). i noticed any time we saw another dog, she kinda barked a little and backed away. i rewarded her for checking in with me and refocusing after, but i’m afraid of her becoming dog reactive. does anyone have any tips to nip this in the bud while she’s still young?

Cute ❤️ I love the tomagochi ds game. One of my favourites

Let's get cozy, friend.

Mmm… fossils :)

Ollie started struggling to nap during the day again. He gets enough exercise. He gets a lot of play time. We train every day. He gets plenty of opprtunities to go outside and sniff. He very clearly gets tired, but fights sleep, and then gets really grumpy about being awake.

So I started considering other causes. And I think I figured it out.

As a puppy, Ollie ate three small meals a day. I had asked his vet when I should be changing that, and she said that many of the poodles she sees stay on this three-a-day schedule. So up to this point, that is what we have been doing.

The other day, as I was pulling my hair out over Ollie refusing another nap, I had a thought: what if it was hunger?

So we made the switch to twice-daily feeding. I started giving him a larger breakfast and dinner, and I replaced his lunchtime with training.

We saw results immediately. Ollie is napping solidly, and he is significantly calmer when he is awake. He responds faster to his cues. He's not as mouthy, and he engages in less attention-seeking behaviors.

I feel a little bad for not figuring it out sooner, but I am happy it is addressed now.

Minecraft update:

Slow progress on Minecraft world (NausJ) but large staircase is built and finer details are added on the upper wall. Continuing on flooring and under staircase.

Can anyone refer me to any USA (or perhaps even Michigan specific) resources to get a service animal when you can't afford it? I know there are programs out there to help and even that can help you manage ongoing expenses. I need an animal to help with my depression and anxiety and perhaps also remind me to take my meds and go outside and stuff... And motivate me to keep going and work and stuff...

Thank you, you beautiful spooky person

HEY DO YOU WANT AN X FILES PLAYLIST??

of course you do obviously so here is mine:

I look down at your sleeping form, pressing my hand on your chest to feel it rise and fall.

My, what a hard life you've had, and what'd I would do to make it all better.

I look up at the clock

It says 4:00 am in large red letters

I look back down, to see you looking up at me.

Big innocent brown eyes

I will never understand how anyone could be cruel enough to hurt you.

I softly pat your head, and tell you to go back to sleep.

You groan and shut your eyes with ease, not a speck of doubt in them.

It brings me great joy knowing that I am your safe place, as you are mine.
