Thanks everyone, I need to try and get to the dollar store and get a shower curtain (don't have a car). I feel bad for the poor guy, cause he's had so much going on, but I'm starting to lose my patience with him. I brought up the xpen, as I'm also trying to counter the barking issue that's arose, I'm hoping that I can fix one issue, then the other. I just can't deal with both problems at once.

I've discovered today I'm not alone though, it seems like everyone is so overwhelmed from school they just don't want to do trivial little things, like cook dinner or deal with broken things that need to be returned, etc. So I guess everyone is going through a mind-numbing phase.

I've also started watching closely for when he does go potty, I've planted treats near his two potties, so that if he goes I can praise him immediately. I'm going to talk to the few friends who wanna walk him, and see if we can hammer out a walking schedule for him so I know when others wanna play with him. luckily when my best friend here comes over she plays soccer with him, which helps reduce his energy level, and the new guy I'm dating loves him, so he plays tug too with him. I feel bad pawning off my dog on others, lol. But at least there are people who find it relaxing to walk him, when I'm exhausted and find it a chore. I did however just enjoy the hour I spent outside with him, so it will all eventually settle down.

Oh my, that was giant mind-dump. I need a nap, lol.
