I took this photo more than a month ago and found it when looking through photos and reminiscing. Moose is going to be 2 early December, and I can't believe how much time has passed. Moose is still head hancho of squirrel patrol, and he seems to be getting some of his brain cells back due to adolescence coming to an end. He still is a goofy dog, but he seems to be more interested in training again, and that makes me excited.
We have been implementing short daily sessions again to spruce up on some of his skills like loose leash walking, pivot work, pace changes, offering connection before being released on squirrel duty, toy play and some tricks.
Life has been pretty rough the last few months with my childhood dog passing, and then a week later, one of our family cats passing and then Daisy. Saturday marked a month since her passing, and it doesn't feel real. I still catch myself calling for her to come eat or come into the room with me. My heart is still so heavy, and I do cry a lot still. But I'm trying to fill myself with the animals that are still around so that they get the love and care that they deserve.
Daisy's headstone came in and is planning to set it up this week and get some fake flowers for her little area. Here is to the fall season and hopefully new memories with minimal sadness occur.
