The birthday redo is complete. DD actually did most of the painting because she said I want to paint too. I gave up my painting control and handed her a roller and said have at it! She did a fantastic job. Yes, I was a tad surprised because she is always in such a rush to finish things and painting is not something you rush if you want it done right. I’ll be photographing her room this weekend.
I’ve been struggling to finish a book. I’m reading Anne Tyler’s, Digging to America and I am bored. I’m can’t figure out what is captivating about this story? I find all the characters boring and whiny. If I wasn’t reading this for my book club I would just put it away for my trip to the used bookstore, but I will finish it today and then I will read something fun by Harlan Coben. I’ll need to try and read two books by the end of the month to stay on my book a week or more paces.
The family and I are still struggling to bring Dexter back into the main family environment. He does well outside but the moment we get into the house he doesn’t want to share the family room and kitchen space with Wyatt. He’ll block the walk way and growl at Wyatt. Once or twice he’s lunged. I removed both Wyatt and Josie to the back porch and then escorted Dexter to the dining room and then let the others back inside. It breaks my heart because our vet says nothing is wrong with him medically even though we’re almost positive we’ve witnessed a few seizures. She suggested an MRI and while I wish I could I just can’t afford to spend $1800. What I will continue to do is work on training, management and getting them comfortable with sharing the main house again.
For now though the dogs are sleeping and I have a novel to write. Until next time, good reading, writing and DIYing!
what confusion. and very sad.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad, but we've made some progress. It's baby steps and the whole family is in for the long haul. We'll keep doing what we can medically and it never hurts to step up and review training.
