Friday!

This day can be categorized as the big sleep. Both dogs ate, slept, pooped and peed, ate and slept some more. Lots of stretching and sighing and grunting and groaning going on.
Since it was snowing all day with a nasty sharp wind blowing, it's just as well.

Ruby. I think her name will be Ruby.

I had to go to Amsterdam for a work meeting today, left here around 10.30 and came back around 15.00. I hung around in front for a while before leaving, the dogs were quiet. When I came back it was still silent and both dogs had been sleeping, they woke up when I opened the door.

Gloria/Rosie/Ruby still goes nuts when she comes across another dog, even if it's a good distance away from her. Other people make her very nervous as well, she tries to rush them and lunges as much as the line will let her. I keep her on a short leash now and keep my eyes on stalks to make sure we aren't surprised by other dogs/cats/people/ufo's.
I'll give it another week, then i'm going to take her for long walks, expose her as much as possible to the outside world till she becomes bored with it all. For now, i'm clicker training and also doing short exposures to the chickens, keeping a close watch to forestall any fixation behaviour. So far, so good, haven't had any incidents again.

The two dogs are interacting more each day. They are still being totally non-agressive to each other, but still I'm keeping Sam in the bench whenever I'm not around.
