I am fortunate to have a dog that is good at settling in the house, regardless of how much exercise she gets, and I am careful to reinforce that so I don't create an athlete or whatever.

that said

Trying to explain to my adolescent dog that boredom is a part of life (and specifically life where we live, where we experience dangerous weather conditions) is actually one of my least favourite activities.

#dogblr #about aurora #we are having freezing rain #so even a walk around the block is sketchy right now #i ate shit twice this morning and rory wiped out a couple times too #i know how easy it is to tear an acl or a ccl in these conditions so im super conscious and staying indoors as much as we can #AND I FEEL FOR HER IM BORED TOO #but girl if you dont stop staring at me with those big ol eyes is2g #i have some games and puzzle toys and a couple of really good chews but i have to pace them out #its supposed to rain into the evening so itll be at least until late tomorrow before we can go out #and all the enrichment and training in the world doesnt replace a good run #(which unfortunately was already lacking this week because i wasnt feeling well)#soooo glad we got out for an hour yesterday though #perpetually reminding myself that this winter is likely to be the hardest winter i experience with rory (combo winter + adolescence)#and every winter for here on out will be easier on both of us
