Me: I’m scared I might secretly be an awful person and I’m just fooling everyone into thinking I’m good.

Therapist: the fact that you care so deeply about being a bad person is proof that you’re actually good. Bad people don’t mind being bad.

Me: oH NO, I have fooled her too,

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I haven't posted here (or anywhere) in a while. But I just wanted to share this video of Link balancing this goldfish on his nose, while I walk away and out of the room, and then him catching it off of his nose. I am just so proud if his patience and how far he's come.

Embark emailed me that Link has new relatives and it said "Hubble", and I immediately thought about @huskyhuddle 's Hubble. I looked at the embark summary and it was definitely him! I'm intrigued

It's Link's second Gotcha Day! It's crazy, I feel like he's been around for my whole life!

Looking back, so much has changed since Link came home. Changed jobs, twice, got my license, and a car just in the first year of Link being in my life. He inspires me to grow and changed and I could never thank him enough.

I look forward to having many more years with Link, my best friend and loyal partner in crime. I promise to help him with his reactivity towards, well, everything. I promise to give him the best life a dog could have, teach him as much as he can learn, and never stop loving him.

Thank you, Link, you are the best boy in the whole world

If you haven’t noticed, I love when good graphic design and training collide.

These ones are from 4pawsuniversity on facebook! Each post these are from has interesting commentary and discussions so I’ll link those too:

All animals are food motivated

Breed is not an excuse

Bad rescue hurts dogs

All shelter dogs were once cute puppies that someone thought would be easy

Are you making this common mistake?

Mythbusting - positive training and reactivity

Management. Better training, fewer mistakes

Is my dog smarter than yours?

Look for the look away

Ask for resources not advice

This one in particular had a bunch of interesting stories under it:

Cute Christmas boy!

I love having a dog.

I love having fur on my jacket. I love having toys everywhere. I love being greeted when I come home. I love listening to dog dreams. I love hearing the dog tag jingle. I love having someone by my side on walks. I love spending my money on tasty treats and fun toys. I love creating fun experiences each day. I love having a reason to live.

I love my dog.

This is the only dalmatian I can see in appearance, but I will keep an eye out for dalmation-like behaviors.

Links Embark results! I must say, I was surprised there is no GSD! So happy that Link is clear for all the genetic diseases that embark tests for!

What is your dog's favorite snuggle position? Link's is on top of me/smothering me lol

Link is mixed with a Spitz, a couple retrievers, and two breeds that I would have never guessed! The last breed was originally a herding breed (I had no idea), but now they are used more for protection, etc.

Link’s Embark results are in!

What do you think he’s mixed with?
