Speaking of dog.... in the past month or so Sadie has become grumpy. Randomly grumpy. Randomly grumpy at other dogs. She's started two fights at the dog daycare (both victims were golden retrievers...), sent a dog at Ambleside beach flying and charged another dog on a walk. I thought it was because her routine with me got broken when I went to the Island in January for a night. What's one night you say, well in dog world, a 24 hour period is a loooong time. I pretty much have her 80% of the time so I've got a routine down for her. The most important part being the weekends. I take her for incredibly long hikes or to the dog beach for hours or something to occupy her. Well, the weekend I was on the Island, Rob didn't do that. He didn't do anything. So I thought she was acting up because she was bored.
Two days ago Rob and I sat in my office and had a chat about how awesome our dog has turned out to be (some of you know the horrible crap we went thru with her - almost to the point of giving her up). So we hop in the car and take off to pick her up. You know it's a bad sign when she's waiting in a "cell" by herself, she's not still in the play area and Sue the owner is actually coming out to speak to you..... Sadie went after another dog. Again. A border collie. Sigh. Not sure what to do about this because I'm not really sure what the problem is. So much for talking about how awesome our dog is!!!! Damn it.
