I pick him up today, so my vacation is almost over. I need to set up lesson plans this weekend. I have them jotted down someplace, but I need to get them into my schedule/records.
When do you plan on starting lessons?
I have most the prep work for picking a service dog prospect dog. I'm looking for a TALL dog with sound joints, and that's apparently difficult to find. There was a litter of mixed breed puppies born last week. I think Labrador and Saint Bernard. That sounds interesting, but housetraining puppies is not in my skill set. I could do it in my old house where all I had to do was open the back door - privacy fenced potty patch out the back door. Here I have to walk a puppy away from the house. Maybe I could do it if I put a chair out in the potty area and a tie-out stake. Because standing outside holding a leash is just not going to happen.
. (I still have my rx contacts for driving, and previous stronger prescription glasses I could use for driving) I'm wearing reading glasses along with contacts for close up work, which leaves me with the same vision but no over-correction so my eyes don't get so much strain. Feels much better!
Labrador and St. Bernard sounds like an awesome mix, and it should be sturdy....and kinda hairy, lol.
His kidneys are mineralized. He's just barely alive. I checked on him at lunchtime, cuddled him a few times and we decided to put him down. DH doesn't know what's going on, but vitamin D toxicity and lily toxicity were things that came to mind with the mineralized kidneys. No idea.
