You all make such a difference--a wonderful, confidence-boosting difference and my gratitude is endless. Piper and I just returned from our morning constitutional (for you yun-gins, same as walk). Piper passed Akita's yard like a little champ, quick as the dickens, but didn't shy off toward street. I don't think she got a whole lot of sleep last night (I had to work) because she's curled-up between her blanket and me and almost out; usually, upon our return, Piper needs to bury a bone and have me observe her digging abilities or she wants to play keep-away with her "stolen" flattened, Wal-Mart squirrel. This morning, she just wants to rest. I'm so deeply thankful that she and I are still good--trust is still there. |
