All Good Dahila DAY 2 WALKING
Only rain this time. Made contact with New therapist in the other town I am moving too ... setting up things so I have support when I make the big move. Session went OK today.
Deciding to cook evening meals in middle of day and just have salad for night ... see how that goes.

Thank you for your advice dhalia. We tried treat rewards but he got wise to them lol! He doesn't have a cage here but his first owners did use one. He's walked everyday without fail (my exercise and I love walking in open fields with my dogs!) he's a lovely dog I love both my dogs for having different personalities! It's wonderful being a dog owner.

Ponder that's awesome, and it suppose to be this way , bigger meal in the middle of the day, and supper light, very light. Of course I do nothing what I should.
Pretty thank you, oh the older lady is exactly like my beloved Keyla. The male is so proud and very good looking. I bet he know that. It is really a different world dogs introduce you. You are like me, the best time is the time with dogs. I was so much into it that some people described me as the one who talks dogs. ) Funny but I really understand dogs, and what they want. Usually to show the dog how to properly behave on leash I need like half an hour. Pretty you know that huge cage for a young dog is a really good training device. They tend to get exited easily and the cage is a good solution. My dog had her hugeeeeeeee cage for almost 12 years. I did not bring it to new house, because it did ruin the floor. She mostly slept there, except the nights which she spend in my room. I never closed the cage, and it was her choice, to go into it. When other dogs were visiting us, she let them eat or drink from her bowls but she would not let any dog to touch her cage. Rewards does not necessary means treats, reward is when you are happy. Try it. You would be surprice how they react to our happiness. I mostly use my voice and touch to reward dogs. We both get pleasure in this situation. Treats only when I was teaching them to come when I call, to my right side , around my legs and sit beside left knee, so I could easily put the leash on. Pretty I think you will know how to train him. Dogs lovers have that 7th sense. Thank you for the beautiful pictures.

I'm glad u liked the pictures. I thought it would be nice to see how they look labs are my favourite dogs! My brother joked that il end up old with loads of dogs to keep me company lol! We will get there with him. I like walking them in any weather. Rudi loves the rain Skye loves the snow thank you so much for your advice I really appreciate it. He went downhill again when my partner starting working away during the week. He's stopped working away for now but I think it was separation anxiety as well. He loves me for walks and love but loves to play with my partner. We always get compliments on how they both look and it does make me a very proud lab mum

Today after picking my son up from nursery I decided to customise some clothes I no longer really liked. Infact it started with the fact I'm going on a girls night out next Saturday and I'm not paying for a new dress when I have loads in the wardrobe (2 kids and only half of Xmas presents bought!) I like one of or vintage pieces so I did it myself! I'm really pleased with it! It was just a plain black dress and now it looks totally different! So pleased with myself

[Dahila]

You should be pleased, congratulation, Pretty you are very talented. I do sawing, crocheting, knitting, gardening, paintings, cooking some exotic things, baking breads. My last passion is home made cosmetics and salves. It is preserved so it is safe. I got so much to learn though. I do this for my own pleasure of course. Creams, lotions, deos, body butters, salves, healing balms. Whole my life I wanted to do this. I was interested and I am in herbs, but never had the access to ingredients and means to do this.

Thank you I am pleased. I should learn to sew it's just not something I ever learnt. But I love re designing clothes I love crochet. I had some lovely hats and baby blankets when my 2 were little. They seem so much more lovely knowing someone took the time to make them I also have just started courses making soaps, lip balms/creams. I prefer these as I know what's in them. I can't see the pictures on my iphone. Il have to look through the laptop later on when kids are in bed. I despise waste I'd much rather reuse than throw my money away my dad taught me a lot on saving money

Nice looking dogs there greeneyes. I find myself attracted to the darker one with the red tag. Dahila, I forgot just how many hobbies you have ... ... it's good when one can go from one to the other if not doing a few at once.

Today I got 3 walks in ... but have a long way to go.
I have to say although only DAY3, I'm starting to feel a little better about getting outside - regardless of my current look ... arrrrr chuckles. I really am so glad I am over that part of my life - Today I also had my dinner at lunch and will have a light salad tonight ... hopefully.

Alls good ... have fun ding whatever you guys do.
Cya.
