Okay, just a few weeks to go before the big trip. I have not done anything further to train the dogs. I never followed through with the gentle leader, I haven't gotten Bailey a training collar, I haven't taken them to another dog park. The reason? I broke my foot. It's just a fracture but I have to stay off it for 4 weeks, at least. And I am really bad on crutches. No, I mean REALLY bad. My poor husband took pity on me and went to a local medical supply store and came home with a scooter. I can rest my leg on the "bench" and roll around the house pushing off with my good leg. At least I have some mobility. I can go get a glass of water, do laundry (kind of), cook a simple dinner, and other limited activities around the house. I even take it to work. It looks a little dorky, but I don't care (?). Some of my coworkers suggested I put a basket on the front. I have a bicycle basket that fits there but I'm afraid I'll really look dorky.
So, it looks like we'll just have to wing it on our trip. We'll be gone 5 months and I'm trying to convince my husband (and myself) that the dogs will get used to being around other dogs and not wigging out. At least I'm sure Missy will be okay. Bailey? I'm never sure about him. He's only two years old so maybe it's a puppy thing? I doubt it. Wish us luck!
