Today Kody and I went to the vet to have his toenails trimmed. He was especially anxious. Unfortunately when we got out of the car someone was there with a bigger dog and it set Kody off barking. I tried giving him treats to calm him, what I should have done was walked around to the other side of the car so he couldn't see the dog, but I didn't think of that at the time.

Kody had a great day playing with his grandma who is unfortunately leaving tomorrow. He’s just getting used to her and loves her very much. He gets concerned if either one of us is not with the group. It makes sense, I guess. Dogs hang out together and one only leaves if searching for food [...]
