I have to be honest, I'm an atheist, but I'm still a spiritual thinker in many ways. As I was laying in bed waking up with Kody the other day, I realized he was the closest thing to God I had ever met.
One thing I'm working through is getting more fun activities for Kody that are easy for me too. After letting me work a few hours he will ask for play and it breaks my heart, he makes it so obvious, and sometimes I'm in the middle of something.
I have had a lot to learn with Kody, but one thing I am good at is potty training. It's because I put so much time into it. I know how bad it feels to have to go to the bathroom when you're not able to and I don't want Kody to feel that.
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.
I saw one of those tear inducing commercials about shelters tonight. Animal welfare is really my purpose behind this blog. Both my learning from Kody and the treatment of animals in general.
