The good news: Ziggy used the dog door fully on her own in the middle of the night (at 4 am). First time, and I'm very proud of her.
The bad news: her fitful sleep made mine also fitful and far too limited.
Bad thunderstorms are rolling in and she's not a fan. Lots of thunder and lightning and dark skies, though the rain hasn't hit yet. But close. Driving to work will not be fun.
She is quiet and sleepy and I worry about her when she is like this.
I am always worried about her demise. I thought that eight years since my last dog was long enough to wait, but her death still haunts me. Losing her was hard. And I am not Zen in any way about the thought of losing Ziggy.
Perhaps I overprotect her, but if you within two weeks of getting a dog are visited by animal control officer threatening to take and kill your dog, your foundations feel shaky. I do not want Ziggy to ever be in another situation that could lead to such an outcome. She is reactive and unpredictable, and while she is getting better, it will always be my job to predict her from her crazy self.
