Today was a lazy workout day for me since I brought my girls (dogs, obviously) into work with me for restraint training with our new girl. I got up late, I was really dragging my feet getting out of bed and I ended up doing core workout for only forty five minutes in our home gym.

I ended up testing, it was negative. I’m still trying to remain positive throughout trying for a family. But I would be lying if I didn’t say it made me a little sad. It was an early test, so I’ll take it again later this week.

Work went by at a low speed. It helped having moments in my day where I could work individually with our new hire in gaining restraint skills. Luna, my Pitbull, is a sweetheart but shakes a little when it comes to being at the practice. She was perfect to restrain a safe dog and practice ear cleaning and injections. Nyx, my heeler, is more of the opposite. She’s a good girl at heart, but she does not like strangers, restraint, or being muzzled.

Luna gave her confidence to handle Nyx and when Nyx buckled, she knew exactly how to handle her and it was a mental victory for me. I even taught her how to get Nyx up on the table with a towel hold too. (Towel holds are for more nervous Nellie’s that you cannot put an arm around).

I felt productive today. Between work and coming home and cleaning the house. My soul feels better about things I cannot change. I topped it with lit candles…smells like a tropical breeze and I’m on an island.
