As quiet as today has been, it started out early thanks to my new friend, Belinda; up at 5:30am on a Saturday. We got outside quite a bit before it cooled down and she got along well with the other dogs. My neighbour connected to me came over to give me a cord she used to use for tying up her old dog, and another teacher had some dog food and stuff from the dog he had last year. She seems to enjoy it all, though she can't figure out why the cord keeps stopping her! She was a stray before she got picked up by the vet, so she's never been inside much and certainly not on a leash. But she's clever and is learning fast. She Sits and lays Down pretty well by now and rolling over beginning to evolve. We need to work a bit more on Stay and Come but I'm confident she'll get the hang of it soon. I've been reading through the "Dog Training for Dummies" book as-needed and following it's instructions pretty religiously so hopefully they're not leading me astray! A group of us went over to the Northern Store as well so I was able to pick up some dog food, treats, and a toy for Belinda. The toy doesn't look too hardy but there wasn't much selection and I figure it's better than forfeiting my sandals.
I ran over to the airport (direclty beside the Northern Store) to check for my lost bag, but it's not there so I'm beginning to get a little bit concerned. It's got the mass majority of my wardrobe including most of my cold-weather gear. At least my boots came through :D
