I didn't make it to school, but I'm not about to beat myself up about it. I'm going for a few hours tomorrow, and I worked on a lot of school stuff here at home. A day away from school was nice. I got some things done around the apartment, too, and did a few relaxing things. It's been the perfect mix of productive, fun, and relaxing.
I forgot to mention that Squirt's been busy making friends. He's a favorite with the neighbors and Land Lady Karen, but he's also made a dog-friend whose name is Danny. Danny is part Pitbull, part Shepherd, and part Lab, and that's just what his human Tim knows. Danny was also a rescue dog, but he's still very puppy since he's only about 2. He's much bigger than Squirt, but he's a big ol' sweetheart.
At first Squirt didn't know what to make of the big brown thing bounding toward him with a curious nose sniffing away. He literally froze, put his ears down, and looked up at me with his big eyes as his way of saying, "Moooom, what's going on here?!" He's gotten much better with Danny, though, and today we went for a walk with Danny and Tim. It was such a gorgeous day that we walked about 2 miles with the pups. I now have one tired little guy.
Squirt is going to go play with Danny next week while I'm at school. We're going to see if spending the day with a friend helps ease his anxiety a little. His barking has gotten better, but he still does it sometimes and still gets nervous when I leave him. I hope this helps. It breaks my heart to leave my dog unhappy.
