Growing On Me

Well, here's an update on the Tyson Invader. It's looks like he will stay with us, but he was pretty close on going back. We are trying a routine with him keeping him on a leash, kennel, and pen at times.

Lucas is doing well with him. They now will sleeping near each other without stirring each other up.

Bella is another issue. She is really now accepting him well at all, but she's going to have to soon. First she needs to remember she's the top dog in the house (other than Jenny & Me). Next we need to get her to walk with Tyson without freaking out. Tyson is improving well on walking and the accidents are decreasing (not that there were a lot of them). Bella still walks well, too, but when they are together she is just unbearable. Jenny and I kind of feel it's our fault trying to protect her from getting hurt from other dogs and unintentionally kept her from socializing with other dogs. This is one of the reasons why she loves people so much.

Instead of beating ourselves up on that we are going to break this behavior and work on a new one. It will work because: 1) we are going to work to make this happen and 2) she's going to have to accept that Tyson is not going anywhere.

This will work even if it kills us (don't worry it won't). For some reason I'm feeling very motivated.

Darn Dog Is Growing On Me!!!!!!!

I will give more updates on this and talk on other things as well.
