Jak,
Things are much improved with the puppy. On Sunday, my W was in tears and ready to send the puppy back. We went to a Puppy Socialization class, picked-up some dog training tips, and have begun to have influence over his behavior. He now goes to the bathroom in the yard, barks less, and follows on a leash.

He adds life and joy to the household. It's interesting, in that my W is trying to calm me down to be less anxious with dog training with the puppy. She's trying to practice calm, positive leadership with him. We have a session with the dog trainer this weekend, and another puppy class next week.

When connection begins to improve with my W, I get anxious, as I know sex is just around the corner. I have a feeling sex is around the corner (a matter of days or weeks).
