Good day at work.  All good dogs today.   Cha Cha was mostly calm, thank God.  After we got home she zonked out.  While she was calm, I removed the e-collar and taped some padding to the bottom of it where it was irritating to her neck a tiny bit which made her shake her head constantly.  She was so bad and stressed me so much yesterday that I didn't realize until I woke up in the middle of the night that I had totally forgotten Bruno's training class

Cha Cha is not a good dog even when she's feeling well.  She is at once needy and demanding.  She is a vindictive shitter and pisser.  If walk across the street to the bank I will come back to a puddle of pee and a turd.  Once when I had too many errands to run to take her to work with me she presented me with a turd on top of the coffee table in the living room.  I have had many many dogs in my life but I have never had one like her that I couldn't figure out how to make "right".  When I apologized to Trish, my trainer lady about missing class I told her that I would consult with her about Cha Cha.  I know dogs, but Trish knows dogs better than I do.  If anyone can find a way to make Chachie not incorrigible it is her.

I'm headed out to do  front yard training practice with my dear Bruno now.  He so wants to do right.  He is so loving.  He's the perfect dog except for his timidity.  I hate that we missed class because it's such a positive experience for him.  He used to run and hide when he saw the leash in my hand.  Now, he gets a little afraid and runs, but comes to me and lets me put the leash on because he know that when we work/play together he gets treats and is told what a good boy he is.

 Got my water changes done and most of my house cleaning. Things have stabilized in the fishroom. Still can't figure out why my plecos (not all) were dying but it's time to move forward. I am looking in each cave daily for harvesting. So far none to harvest.
