Hi ML! I have a doggie question and a MIL question

[wannabe]

Awww, your kids sound so sweet.

Vodka in a water bottle.

1) Breath mints and a travel mug

2) Get an easy walk harness for the dog and ear buds for you. Avoid the neighbors. Your dog doesn't need friends.

1) Pour a lot of glasses of water to make it seem like you main source of drink. Drink form it often and in her presents. Use the travel mug for wine.

2) Training. And you need to be and stay in charge. The dog will follow your lead and will react to your anxiety.

Don't let the dog stop. Just keep walking/jogging.

...The call is coming from inside the house.

This article really helped me with our foster, who is not so great on the leash, but really improving.

thanks!! I'm going to totally do this. And to the person who said he picks up on my anxiety- ooohhh yes. I have to be confident. So basically, I'm hearing everything my husband keeps saying- I have to be in charge, yadda yadda. Ugh. work work work.

Yeah.  Kinda like a kid who's whining at you about candy at the grocery store.  You say NEWP and keep fucking walking.  No eye contact with either dog; just keep marching.  Your dog will eventually get distracted and forget about the other dog.

haha, ask MIL to walk the dog, drink while she's gone.

Guess what? I have two things - 1. DH is in remission, nine months and going!!! 2. My daughter is getting married. I'm going to be a freaking MIL!

We miss you!

1) Vodka in a water bottle and a nice glass of "iced tea."
2) Training and just keep on stepping.
