Up at zero dark thirthy or 5:30am, then out the door for poop and pee drainage. Breakfast for three 13lb cats, one 8lb cat a new puppy for therapy and two bypeds. The boss is then off to work.
By lunch time Rey...the female Star Wars character named 4 month old has had a 3km walk. She has also played to get the body and mind warmed up and her daily training. (She now knows; sit, stay, come, leave it, lie down, get off, touch me, find the treat, dig out the toy, take it, play gental and drop it).
She's a smart dog. Sheperd/bull dog/pointer/lab and possibly tasmanian devil mix...considering all the strange and vulger sounds comming from both ends of it.
Her next batch of training will be to take a shower with me to get clean in winter and cool off in summer. She must also learn our route to "get me home" in case of memory relapse or stroke. I have ADD, OCD, PTSD, Anxiety, Severe Depression, two nervous breakdowns and Brain Trauma from 2005 MVA. I treat Rey as a service dog that will have a happy life. She will never get yelled at nor shocked to learn.
By 2pm she has rested, trained, gone for drainage extracation and played. I do the daily stuff required as she sleeps at a rate of two hours per. Then the choice is hers. She can rest or we can go for another 3 km walk with play and run. she will sleep after this till wiffy gets home and takes over the evenings and weekends.
This routine will evolve till spring. I start the summer seedlings and yard grow. Puppy will be trained and not so destructive. Oh and yes...my cats are all leash trained to stay in the unfenced yard.
