Friday

John had his annual physical this morning so we dropped Toby off at daycare and took a quick walk in the neighborhood.

Temps were mild today (64), but the cloud cover made it feel quite chilly. I don’t recall last January being this cold and cloudy. We’re a bit grumpy.

John brought the stag horn fern in to protect it from the cold spell coming this weekend. Lows are predicted just a bit above freezing with highs in the mid 50s.

We cheered ourselves up with a Juan’s burrito.

The report from Toby’s daycare today is that he’s been peeing on everything, even running down the hall. They said they just wanted us to know. They thought it strange because he hasn’t done that before. 

We are perplexed. He’s only had two accidents in our house since we got him. The first time was in the first few days with us and the second when we forgot to take him outside. Other than that, he only pees a warning pee/submissive pee when frightened. We’ve learned to approach carefully and gently and never to force him to do something he doesn’t feel comfortable doing. 

There are a lot of changes going on at K9 Adventures as you might expect with new owners. Maybe he’s picking up on their anxiety?

Or maybe we cut his pre daycare walk short because of the cold and our busy morning?

We are looking forward to Toby’s advanced training class on Monday. I think that will help us to get out of our blues. Some warmer weather would also help. 

We watched “Teachers” on Amazon Prime and skipped “Versailles” thinking a shallow comedy might be a better tonic than heavy drama.
