Day 211. I went out today and without a mask. It is day 7 since I was in the ER so I feel pretty confident that I am no longer contagious plus I am barely coughing anymore. I don't think I am able to spread it.
I took Lucky to her behavior appointment. Lucky has an issue with space. She resource guards space. I have a bunch of things I need to do. I need to put items on the places that she likes to covet. She likes a certain chair so right now the chair has a box on it. I can use other things: a prickly mat, a thunder mat that makes a loud noise when she jumps on it or thunder can that sprays air at her.
I also need to stop the dogs from going on my bed by themselves. I need to allow them to go on the bed with my permission. This will be harder. I will have to think of a way to do this since I don't have a regular bedroom door.
I need to remove all the dog beds and leave one for each dog in the living room and the office. That is it. The rest need to go.
I need to treat Lucky when she does the correct things and ignore her when she does other things.
I have my work cut out for me. I need to work as hard as I worked when she had food issues. The behaviorist seems to think it is something that is workable.
Until tomorrow...
