Finding a way to feel, remember & live holistically & in the present
I know. I can't really read it properly.

dunno if you saw there was a 2nd (assumed) DID Court of Protection case recently. www.courtofprotectionhub.uk/cases/kp-ter...

He barks a lot I think cause he does it at our older dog who ignores him so just barks more and into a bad habit!

Took the plunge and took him to our local which is dog friendly but had to take him outside unfortunately....he barked for ages. WIP I guess!

Hi, went swimming for 1st time in months which was good. Wondering now whether to bring the mutt for a socialisation at the pub. Last pub try out some old biddies complained he was noisy and we were asked to leave 😬 so....

Go you. It's amazing the shift in feeling when that happens or allows that to happen. I've not totally let go my equivalent but the hold is deffo a loose one.

Going well thanks. We went back again & he was excited to see her so must have enjoyed it! It's definitely giving me a break overnight & also an internal mental relaxation knowing I can switch off & he's in good hands. I prob over worry and are over sensitised to stuff he's not perfectly trained at!

Think you're doing great overall & definitely not a failure! If it helps Cosimo is not yet crate trained. It's something we are struggling with. He seems to just like to rest outside it.

That made me laugh (in sympathy). What are we like when our dogs are dictating our fashion choices 😂

On a MH walk by the river. A lovely afternoon for it.

Cool. The doggy day care lady mentioned this. I've left C a few times and he 'seems' fine but never know.

I've found endings really difficult too. In my main hard ending I drew up a list to make sure everything was said in the last session and we'd made a present. Also it took me a v v long time after as well to 'get over it' so remember to hold compassion then as well.

🤞they fit. I bought 3 pairs of jeans (Primark so cheap) on Saturday for first time more than a decade and had to go up 2 sizes. Mucho depressing!!

Ooh might try this as well! He's generally calm just difficult with crate. He started out excellent overnight then regressed and now ...

A friend recommended something similar - sleeping with a sheepskin as they did for their kids - to help C settle in the crate. Might give it a go with a blanket.

I'm finding it a struggle to crate train Cosimo. Not helped recently by have a runny tummy so we couldn't use it & also staying at others to give me a break. Hope it goes easier for you now.

Poor thing is definitely in his grumpy old man phase. One of my guilt things was that I'd ruined his last months by changing up his lifestyle so much. But hopefully he's coming through it as well.
October 4, 2025 at 7:18 PM
He's a lagotto romagnolo.

I really think/hope the day care will help. Just knowing he's safe but I don't have to do anything...bliss!
October 4, 2025 at 7:16 PM
Yes, last night he was with a friend & I missed him! For the first time it wasn't simply a burden that had been lifted from me. Poor C - to have such a hard start.
October 4, 2025 at 6:51 PM
The puppy class lady said it was even harder cause I've got an older dog (14 1/2) & just having that recognition from a professional was like heaven. The idea had been to have the pup to help ease things when poor Herm (older dog) passes but if I had my time again...esp as H can't be doing with him!
October 4, 2025 at 6:49 PM
I'm glad you've had good outings. A positive thing, even little, makes such a difference!
October 4, 2025 at 6:45 PM
I couldn't put up any as think I hadn't bonded with him...& who doesn't bond with a puppy! But 🤞 we are over the hard bit.
October 4, 2025 at 6:32 PM
Yes, I knew in the abstract it'd be hard but there were times I seriously considered I couldn't do it. A friend helped by having him a few nights and I'm doing the first visit in dog boarding on Sunday so I'm getting some sleep which makes everything so much easier.

I've loved your updates!
