@surrendermyheart I live in the city so there aren't many deer by me. Although my pup has next to no prey drive considering he's a hound. I got him as a rescue after he failed hunting training on the farm he was on. He could care less about squirrels and birds, he likes to chase lizards but has...

@neogenesis92 I do this evening walk before dinner most nights and it works. He's doing well now but it took me a few weeks to figure out the pattern. I'm convinced he's just afraid of missing out on fun and tries to stay awake far too long. I'm waiting for him to finally figure out humans have...

@cubus123 Seriously, I'm convinced my puppy just has severe FOMO and forces himself to stay awake long past when he needs to rest because God forbid he miss out on anything fun. I haven't been able to convince him that humans have to do boring things like laundry and cleaning sometimes and I'd...

@merleharlin Okay, that makes more sense. I just watch a ton of students struggle during the transition to graduate school before they set appropriate expectations and learn how to study and I can't imagine doing that transition plus a new puppy. Be careful fostering during clinicals. I didn't...

@merleharlin You're brave and not just because you are dealing with a puppy but because you're getting a puppy right at the transition into graduate school. I'm an occupational therapist and having been a former graduate student and am still a current adjunct faculty who teaches the first-year...
