timmy got bit hard.
So everything was peachy if a bit unnerving again. It's been unnerving. We had a third great feeding experience with everyone behaving beautifully. I let Timmy stay on the floor a second too long and he got a bloody ear and a banged eye and spit all over his head and a terror that won't go away long after the rest is gone. I freaked out inside. I stayed firm on the outside and sent the big dog outside to the yard for an hour while I consoled the little dog and sought help online. I got it too. I learned that I was unrealistic in my time frames and we're talking months, not weeks. I learned that keeping them apart wasn't a bad idea like I erroneously thought, but the right approach.
So I took her out in the dark streets for an hour long walk. I learned she's fearful of traffic, the river, strange shapes in the dark, road crossings, and that in very dark places she is so unnerved she obeys me. I learned that she can walk longer than me right now. I was beat and she was starting to fight again at the end of the walk, almost more than at the beginning. I also remembered who I am. a am Alpha Bitch and my word is law. I like the dark and don't take crap from anyone and my dogs are so well trained it's like they're programmed. This isn't my dog yet but she'll learn because I can teach her. I'm exhausted. I'm angry with Dan for being unsupportive, defeatest, and stress making.
So I'm too tired for this, and too afraid he'll come home and see this text and read that Timmy got bit. If I think he's oppositional, stress making, and defeatist now, I ain't seen nothing if he finds out his precious little snapper got hurt. Snapper's wounds are already invisible unless you're looking for them and then it's just a red streak you can only see for trying to. His attitude, mind you, is very cowed and tender. I'm going to put her in the bathroom awhile and let Timmy own the place for the evening. I'm just giving her time to have a last play first. as long as nobody is stupid enough to let her out of the bathroom it'll be okay. Is Dan that obtuse? would he subconsciously do it to prove this isn't possible? Can he do this? I am not getting a good night's sleep with that assholery in my house.
