Oct. 11th, 2005 02:14 pmThanks for all your encouragement! I decided to stick with The Hunt. Even though it's far from finished, I have a good feeling about it, also why not make your first book as good as you can get it?
Finished putting chapter 8 together from other chapter snippets and revised three pages!
Slept late and did just 20 mins of housework so far, but it's still early afternoon and I have time.
I watched another dog therapist program yesterday. Am very tempted to take such an education.
The plus-sides:
1. I am a natural. Dogs like me. When watching the program, 90% of the time, I give the same diagnosis as the professionals and suggest the same type of treatment as them.
2. It should bring in a welcomed extra income once we decide to move.
3. It would most likely be a job that I love.
The minus sides:
1. It will be expensive.
2. It will be time-consuming (and we all know I have no time).
3. C is afraid I will get bitten.
Yesterday while watching the dog show, C confessed that he missed Frisbee. This is a BIG step and I'm now much more confident about getting a puppy once we have the conditions for it. :)
I wonder what happened to Frisbee. He is a good dog, but it will be very difficult to work around his problem when he stress-bites. I am afraid the shelter will have rehomed him again. They did not ask to see the bite, as I had assumed they would, and they didn't question me as closely as I would have preferred them to - and while I tried to explain exactly what happened, they did not seem to listen properly. Part of me worries that they think we pushed him into biting, that we were mean to him or that we were making up some story because we changed our minds about keeping him. Their attitude was certainly "yes, yes, whatever...just give him back."
