True. I’ve been really busy with work, which is good. But yeah.

Thank you! You’re right.

Awesome! It’s good to keep busy, and always feels good when we achieve things, no matter how big or small : )
I love podcasts too! Which do you like to listen to?

Ahh what have you been training your dog to do? 
Exactly!
Right now I’m really into one called court junkie. It’s so interesting. There’s also one I haven’t listened to in a while that I liked called stuff you should know, which is fun. So yeah.
I’ve been doing some heel training and some rear end awareness to help with turning when heeling. So yeah. It’s kinda fun but also hard cause my dog is 10 and seems not to have had much if any training. He’s polite but not trained.

I did shotgun shooting today for the first time and I got really overwhelmed. I heard like two shots and they startled me so much I left and burst into tears and the shots were just so loud and sudden. So yeah. I then left and we spent the rest of the day in Freeport and then drove home. But yeah. It was rough and I kinda realised that my sensory issues might actually be important cause they’re interfering with me trying new things and doing what I’m interested in.
Haha yeah. He’s not great at it yet, but I’m working on it to try and convince my parents to let me get another dog.
Oh funky!!! That’s so cool!
I’m actually hoping to get a second dog so rookie can stay living with my family. Also so thesecond dog hopefully won’t bark when I’m not home. So yeah. Oof. We’ll see.

Polite is a good start! Something that helped with Lady was finding the right motivation/reward system. There are some things where throwing a ball is the best way to get her interested. But sometimes cheese is the answer!
Huh. Interesting. Rookie pretty much only cares about food. All the time lol.

Have you got a pic of rookie to share @Kakimime1.
He/she sounds like me in respect to only caring about food

Lady is OBSESSED with fetch. It’s her life. It’s just about finding what works for your doggo.
So how does the ESA thing work, is Rookie actually your family dog?
Panic attack
Can’t breathe
You here by any chance?
Haven’t seen her here in the past couple of hours, but I’m listening if that helps. I know it’s not the same. Do you want to talk about what’s going on for you right now?
Panic attack.
My boss said people had complained about my BO.
And I’m trying. I shower almost every day. And I put deodorant on multiple times a day. And I’m trying. I really am. But idk what to do.
Plus, they’re always talking about calories and it triggers me and makes me sweat more. But yeah. Idk what to do.
I’m on the phone with my parents which is helpful
Oy I don’t know how I would take that. If you are maintaining good hygiene like that then I figure there must be something else going on. Maybe there was another smell that they wrongly attributed to you, or maybe they imagined it. People do that.
Idk. I know I’m smelly. But I’m doing all I can. I’m aware of it, but idk what else I can do.
