This morning I decided to use our new shampoo since he was scratching so much. He did really well and only tried to exit the tub twice. the only part I didn’t really appreciate was him shaking his wetness all over the bathroom. He then had to get out his energy by ripping and roaring through my house for a few minutes. Now he is all done and resting on the floor. We have another few hours before I take him out for the afternoon walk and I fathom he will be pretty much dry by then.
He is spending more time in the crate with the door closed. So far, so good. We left him alone for an hour without much sound from us and he was fine. * we were still in the house, though*
This morning on our walk a cat was RIGHT IN OUR PATH. He smelled it, he saw it, and he didn’t react at all! The cat was sitting there, waiting. It was the same cat that had tortured him before. I decided to play it safe and cross the street where the cat was. Apparently, the cat didn’t forget him, either. The cat watched us till we got to the other end of the block. I guess then he knew he was safe HAHA. There is hope that his aggression toward cats has at least subsided…now we have to work on his presence around dogs.
Apparently, shady characters are not his style. He saw a group of people last night who rubbed him the wrong way from a distance. Coby was so upset by their presence that I decided to avoid them if possible. Low and behold, there came the inevitable meeting. They were coming out of an apartment that just had to be right in front of where we were walking. They came out and he started going nuts. I got him to sit down between my feet, but it was hard to keep him from going over and doing whatever it was that he was ready to do. Him being uncomfortable made me wary of what these people were about. They were scared of him and only asked me if he was a good dog, to which I of course said yes. Then they went about their merry way, but Coby couldn’t forget them. We did finish our walk and get back to the house okay, but he wanted to hunt them down. It was the same reaction he had to the cat the other day.

Someday I want to finish my book and have it published and have people actually read it and be changed by it. Seriously. That is my goal which is why it is so hard to write it.
I hate it when people judge you by the few things they think they know about you without giving you a chance. It burns me up. I have had many people tell me they don’t like me because of something someone else made me look to be, and then they apologize because after they got to know me their minds have been changed.
Last night I dreamed that I found a 3rd bottle of my favorite generic Febreze in a drawer. Guess freshening things up is a big priority in my mind LOL.
My greatest fear is that I will end up having been a bad mother. That my son will grow up to hate me and be scarred for life over something I said or did when he was younger.
I’m most proud of making it all these years. I really didn’t think I would live past 16, but God …. wow… He fixed it all and here I am on the brink of 27. I am not ashamed to say so, either. My age is a crown on my head. I didn’t have to live this long. I lived my life like the dead for a long time, but thanks be to God that He kept me.
