Please don't look at the date this was posted....I said DON'T look...ok, you looked! I have failed the 365 day project, again! But I have another valid excuse, at the start of the week my computer became infected with a virus, within a day the computer was un-usable :( So I am now sat tying this on a shiny, new computer! But I did not fail the 365 day project completely, as I thought about what I was going to post each day. So I will now make an effort to catch up to where I should be! If I had only made a brief decision to try and post every day, after firstly visiting technophobe relatives and then contracting a virus, I would have given up! But I am determined to make 365 posts, hopefully one a day....but if not, I will have at least made the effort.
I wanted to find something that shows the slow decent of boundaries that can happen when you get a new dog. I go around advising all my clients the best ways to feed your dog by lifting the dish, crate training, not allowing the dog onto the sofa...etc. When I found this poem it made me smile, as it shows step by step what I have done with Kendal. Though thankfully I am at least a couple of steps up from the bottom of the poem....for now!
