Hello Everyone,
We were down cleaning out Moms house which is very difficult on the dogs as well as the humans. But I had great progress this weekend, and Buddy responded so well. the dogs were more relaxed and I think they understand that they are not going to be abandoned. I looked at Buddy and told him everything was okay in a quiet tone, he wagged his tail like never before. Then I stood here and just put my hand down to my side, he came up and nuzzled my hand until it was on top of his head, and then he leaned his body onto my leg. There was a certain security felt for both of us, it was great. So we are making progress. Dollie is not having the issues that Buddy is having but I don't think she is as sensitive, and she loves and trusts everyone. Thanks for all of the tips last week they really helped.
