Today I saw the most awesome episode of The Twilight Zone. I'll warn you now, this post has spoilers. However I doubt many of you are hiding from spoilers about old black and white TV shows.
Recently something occurred to me that should have been obvious, but for whatever reason, it wasn't. I find this type of realization happens all the time to me and other dog parents. I think it just takes a while to learn things.
Now that we have the new harness we practice with it every night. Since this is the first time we've really taken a harness seriously and it's fresh, I want to do this right so that Kody eventually thinks the harness is great and will walk by my side while wearing it. I think we're making good progress.
For about a week now, Kody has smelled a raccoon outside. When we go outside he bursts through the door and sometimes barks to let everyone know about the raccoon. He also has been very intensely smelling certain areas where the raccoon must have spent some time.
When Kody first came to live with me, I bought a harness. At the time harnesses were not well thought out, especially for a dachshund body shape, and it was quite a task to get it on him or even figure it out. I gave up on that pretty quickly.
The nights have been somewhat cold recently which is nice for me because I'm very heat sensitive. However at points during the night we need just a little more warmth.
