Aud and Matilda, I get up at 6AM during the week with my sheep puppy dog, before my W gets up and read and write poetry.
My W has responded positively to my efforts. She asked for a hug before I left with my sheep puppy dog to visit my family for the holidays.
The daycare gives her a break from the high maintenance puppy. I seem to have a higher tolerance for him than she does.
The monthly cleaning service will give us some structure, and a catalyst to keep up the chores in our house. We'll be motivited to do as much as we can prior to the service, so they can be utilized as efficiently as possible.
My sheep puppy dog is 45lb. at six months old, so it's imperative that I learn dog training and leadership skills. It adds a new set of behaviors to my repertoire, and complements my strengths. I've learned that calm, firm, leadership is the best way to manage a puppy (and maybe to some extent a W?).
Yes, my W and I are dancing again.
