So far things are not falling together all that well. So far the money I've been working on saving up hasn't been lasting because situations keep popping up and it doesn't help that my boss currently owes me 150$ in back pay. Aello is teething (still or again not sure) and I haven't been able to supply her with appropriate chew-toys. Liwanu is being a big red oaf still. His behavior has mellowed a bit although he's still highly reactive to the emotions of those around him. It has caused me some trouble in the past and I'm sure it will cause problems in the future but for right now I will take baby steps with him and in our daily lives.
Overall, they are both coming along nicely. I found a new method for teaching 'heel' which I'm trying with them both since Liwanu needs help with his and she doesn't know it at all. Daily training sessions do us all good because it gives them mental exercise, teaches them appropriate behavior and gives me time to not worry about all the small things that stress me out. For each of those short sessions the only things that matter are me and the dogs which is welcome relief.
I am starting to wonder if I'm just choosing the wrong path which is why it isn't working out. Past experience has told me that when I'm headed the wrong way everything falls apart and goes to hell for me which is what is currently happening. This seems like the right path though. I mean, choosing to settle down in one place (for awhile anyway) and get a steady job is something that is socially expected, but it's just not working so maybe I'm making a mistake in my attempt to be 'normal'.
