 Today was a long day. Last night the wind blew my front door shut on Flipper’s foot and so we took him to the Humane Society for a check up today. He ended up going to the vet for an x-ray so he was gone for a bit of the day today. I drove him there this morning and then picked him up this afternoon. He didn’t break anything but has some soft tissue damage in his leg. He has some medication and cannot run for about a week or until he stops limping. It was very educational to deal with this type of situation. After I picked him up, he was super hyper and just wanted to run around. I had him on a leash so that he couldn’t run but he was desperate to move. I fed him dinner and played with him for a bit before winding him down for bed. We watched a movie and went to sleep.

 Today I was only home for the morning and afternoon because I’m sleeping at my friends house. I woke up last night to let Flip out to pee. He went back to bed with me until around 8 when I woke him up for breakfast. We went on a long walk with my dogs and then he hung out with my sister and I. I brought him with me to pick up my friend that needed a ride. He has been getting carsick recently so I have to be careful. Once back home, he took a nap with me in my bed. I packed up my stuff for my friends house and said goodbye.  Hours:  night: 30 mins breakfast/walk: 2h play: 1h drive: 1.5h nap: 2h total: 7h

 Today I went home at around 10 am from my friend's house. I took Flipper for a walk and then fed him lunch. I went to the gym and my mom watched him. Once I got home, we worked a bit on his training which is going really well. I went to a local farm stand with Flip and he got to sniff some flowers. He met a few new dogs and some little kids. He was so sweet and calm with everyone. On the way back he got carsick and threw up. It was gross. I went home and fed him dinner and then took him for a walk. We watched a movie before bed and he slept in my bed through the night. Hours:  walk: 1h training: 1h farm: 2h walk: 30mins bedtime: 3h total: 7h30mins

Weekly Reflection #2

     This week has definitely had some ups and downs. Monday was very normal, but then Tuesday Flip got a little hurt when his foot got shut in the door. We ended up bringing him to the Humane Society later in the week. It ended up just being a few soft tissue and tendon problems and nothing was broken. it definitely restricted what we could do for the rest of the week as he wasn't really allowed to run around very much in case he injured it more. He limped for the first few days but definitely is getting better now. My mom is taking him to the vet on Monday to get him cleared so that he can potentially be back up for adoption.       We have been working more on his training and he has gotten very responsive to his name when we call it. I think it is very beneficial to have two other dogs who are responsive to their names around him because it influences him and helps him understand what we want. He sits on his own now when we call his name which is ve...
