...DO SOMETHING! That's what Sam has started to remember to do. Tough love is having me listen to Sam bark right now because he wants me to help him get up and move onto his bed for the night. Last night the same thing happened and after about 1 minute of barking (Sam is getting up right now as I'm typing) he got up and walked to his bed and laid back down. So I'm discovering that tough love results in a warped perception of time. I estimated a moment ago that Sam had barked for about a minute - it was probably really about 10-20 seconds. Probably less than 10 barks total. I wonder why it seems like so much longer than it really is?
By the way, right now he is on his bed lying in his preferred orientation. He is panting since it's quite warm in the room and he has been exerting himself more this evening, though he's not unduly stressed from his journey. Which was about 8 feet from door to bed.
So, my lesson seems to be, what do I need to DO something about instead of just barking about it? Hmmm... I'll let you know what I come up with... What have you been "barking" about lately?
