I cannot WAIT until life is "normal" again and this blog is about training dogs.
My wonderful husband took on the weekend project of going through my personal effects which were in the van. First - I cannot stress enough the importance of traveling seatbelted (saved my life) and dogs in crates. If my dogs had been with me they would have survived, the crates were not damaged and stayed bungeed down. So please folks, belt up and crate those furkids when driving.
However there was tons of glass and glass powder inside the crates. Erik had to take apart the crates, wash them down, and washed the crate pads twice. Same for my dog show gear - blankets, rugs, my emergency clothing (hats, gloves, jacket) and all the training gear. It was shocking to see how much glass came out of everything. Again, I'm amazed I was not disfigured or gashed. I need to remind myself how lucky I really am - this is an inconvenience, I get to return to normal at some point and just be patient.
I have more mobility on my left side which is really encouraging. If I continue to feel well I may toy with a tiny bit of training. What will be interesting is Moto will primarily need to listen to me rather than my using body language or a leash, which is actually a good thing. We'll see.
Anyway I need to rest up. I'm going to work today but I need to store up some energy so I can do so.
