[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 392775, member: 6546"] Jena-- This is meant gently...not as a criticism. I think you need to stop and catch your breath. I feel like you have so many things going on at once, so many balls in the air - its impossible for anyone to keep up with so many troubles at once! And I read your other thread about your big dog acting beserk lately - and no wonder! typical teen sounds like your whole household has been topsy-turvy. Crazy hours. Nobody is eating, sleeping or doing anything on a "regular" schedule. Everyone is crabby, tired, worried, stressed - you've got new people (and new dogs) coming and going. How could anyone, human or canine, be calm and relaxed through all that? I think you need to take some time every day and take your dogs for a walk. Seriously. Not to train them. Not to take them "potty". Not to go on an errand. Just to walk. It's therapeutic. Not just for them, but for you. I have two dogs also. To walk them together becomes stressful - so I just take them around the block one at a time. They really like it and they come back to the house happy and relaxed. But more than that - I find that I come back to the house happy and relaxed, too. It's good exercise, but it's not stressful...it's not challenging...it's just walking. And walking allows you to clear your head and take that "breather" that we all need from our troubles. Go for a walk! No excuses! If it's cold, put on a coat! If you have 'no time' - make it a short walk. Even ten or fifteen minutes can do wonders! ((((Hugs)))) Take care of your family and yourself. [/QUOTE]
