Wolf Games: reprise
Okay so it's nearly 6 a.m. For the totality of last night, I had exactly one hour sleep. And then 2 hours later, I had another 10 minutes of sleep. Why? Shenanigans. Wolf games. And let me tell you something... I'm pretty effin' tired.
There is just one thing that I have to say. Apollo has lived with me for 2 weeks now now and in that time period, we have had our ups and downs. It hasn't been easy for either of us but it has been pretty rewarding at times.
I can understand how bored he is, being on that tether, and honestly I can't blame him. It has to be pretty awful to be tied up all the time. I offer to bring him into the house and most of the time he declines. This morning however, he was pretty keen on the idea.
I allow him off the leash for the time that he is indoors because I try to keep it something that he can see as positive and rewarding. He and Lavender chase each other around the room for a little while & that is all kinds of fun until he starts pooping everywhere.
Naturally, I wanted to put a stop to that so I opened up the door the small amount and called him to me. He managed to slip past me into the yard. That sent a bolt of panic through me as I recall the nightmare of two weeks ago. But I am very pleased to say that he allowed me to approach him & get him on tether again without going over the fence. I am exceedingly grateful.
He could have done so. Fairly sure he thought about it. But he didn't. Thank you Apollo. That means the world to me. <3
