Charlie’s Progress – Part V
I got tired of typing that long, Charlie’s Behavior Rehabilitation And Training title, so I went with the shorter version, Charlie’s Progress. Hope you don’t mind.

Revisiting Dogs And Separation Anxiety
As you can see in the above picture, Abby and Charlie take their job seriously. Our routine is to drop off the garbage, sometimes we have to do 2 trips, and pick up our mail. Charlie’s separation anxiety is slowly starting to disappear. He no longer screams murder when left him in a room alone….

Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining
To say that the coronavirus pandemic has affected our lives would be an understatement, but I choose to be optimistic and find a silver lining in every cloud.
