By the time I called to accept the appointment, it had already been taken.
You snooze, you lose.
It's ok, I was kind of stressed about the drive.
And maybe this was just a good wake-up call for me to work with Ziggy on my own. When I look back at how much progress she has made, I know I'm on the right track mostly.
Today we got to see Black Dog and while Ziggy initially wanted to be a jackass, she kept herself in check and they were both very good and she calm-signalled him so that he was all, "Wait, come back, I want more of you," but she was ready to keep on walking.
Ziggy has charms. When not out of control, she can charm people and dogs alike - she was called "Mayor of the Dog Park" when we used to go. She has a friendly confidence that beings find appealing. And that cute pink nose of hers.
OK, this means that my weekend is free again, which is good news in many ways. I need to schedule two hours every weekend day and one hour most weekdays to focus on Ziggy: reading books, researching, and implementing training. That's a lot, but I can do it. If I do this, I can save myself a lot of money and time of having to drive to Houston to see the expensive vet (whom I am sure is totally worth it).
