success

Success! Clancy walked with his new dog walker yesterday! I was suspicious when I didn’t receive a call yesterday afternoon, but when I got home I found a note detailing how well he did! She went in with her assistant (dog walkers have assistants?) and he growled and barked at them at first. But then she gave him a treat and put his leash on and he suddenly got very happy. They walked for about 25 minutes (excellent!) and then they brought him home and gave him a couple more treats. I am so happy that this is going to work out. I have her coming two days a week now, but I may up that amount soon.

This whole deal with that recall on d0g food has me a little nervous. Clancy’s brand is on the list, but only in the can form and he only eats dry food. I’m not going to worry about it because technically his food isn’t on there, but I don’t want him to die of liver failure. My dad called me last night and he told me I was ridiculous for being a little anxious. Thanks, dad.

I finally worked out last night. I feel so much better. It’s amazing what a few days of no exercise can do to a person. My mood has definitely improved and not even work is irritating me today. At least not yet.
