Katsolo's Journal, 20 August 2022

Trying to push back to a state of normal. That doesn't mean life without chaos, I don't have that kind of power, but better thoughts going into my food, sleep and exercise. I don't carry any resentment, I just know what I need in order to be able to function well. I'm good at fighting through, I always have been, but I've also gained a better cognizance of things as I've gotten older. Playing around with adding a few more calories as we add higher activity back in. We'll see. If I don't move, I will fall into a dark place. Can't allow that, so we push forward. Truly why I got Chance so quickly, it doesn't mean I'm not grieving Hogan. I most definitely am. Haven't walked enough in almost four months. Ordered some inserts for the plantars, today, we push forward. Dogs are doing well, mostly. There's been some drama over toys and play style and an attempted hump or two to be rejected. I'm navigating some friendships of people that live online and are upset that I didn't broadcast the news on social media. I'm a little confused by that reaction. If I never have before, why on earth would I start now? Chill.

It's finally not hot today. Overcast, in fact. So thankful. I've actually turned on the AC a few nights the past week and that never happens, but I just can't sleep when it's 85 inside.

Things we need to work on with Chance. Cats, shoes, puppy nips and hand signals. I don't think barking is going to be an issue. This boy is smart. I'm glad he's a different shape and color as Hogan. I don't want to confuse them in my head. They are different personalities. The crate is a little bit of a problem. He's okay in it when I'm around, but he tore his nose up when I went to the store for an hour trying to get out. Ordered this peanut butter thing you attach to the side to distract him and make it a better experience because I need to be able to leave sometimes. He's strong enough to bend the bars though. Once we get past the cat issue and eating furniture, we'll relax with the crate.

Pool had some mosquito larvae in it, I can't remember if I put chlorine in or not the past couple of weeks, but ended up skipping a swim even though I was in my suit and did a shock treatment instead. Should be clear to swim today.

Got insurance paperwork to submit today and then I need to sit down and figure out some life stuff. A little worried about BF, he was super tired last night. Can't tell him what to do, but I can express my concern. Just need to do it gently. Almost forgot, bought some cauliflower, going to try my hand at recreating the cauliflower stir fry mix. The key is going to be the teriyaki ginger sauce. and I just realized I didn't pick up any bell peppers. that can be remedied.

Almost forgot. Weekend rules.

He is handsome, isn't he? Gotta figure out how to keep him from tearing up his nose now.

What a sweet boy!! If this would help , my sister has a very active boxer and she is kenneled when they are at work. My sister discovered calming dog music on her echo show. It does the trick for her.

It’s just the angle, he’s very well proportioned. Will be interesting to see how big he gets. Crazy strong already.

So cute! Let me know if peanut butter thing works in crate. Our dog goes; n crate ok as long as we leave door open. The minute we close door she freaks. We have to crate her when we are in a situation with a lot of people. It makes her nervous and I'm afraid she will bite one of the kids..

Oh Katsolo, I think it’s so wonderful ❤️ thank you for letting us meet Chance! I’ll have to go back into your journal to see where you got him. I don’t know why your friend would get mad. I see it as when you have a huge heart and lots of love to give, you need something to fill it. He’s beautiful. He is one lucky dog to be with you!!!🤗🤗🤗 I will enjoy your posts about him. I work such long overwhelming hours, I don’t really visit people I want to follow during the week. 😕 Puppy stage is soooo hard! I wish many blessings to not going insane.👍😊

Chance is so handsome! I'm sorry about his sweet nose! I've never had a dog of my own so I don't know about crating, but I hope the PB thing works! He's doing all the wonderful, fun puppy things, discovering the World! You get to see it through his eyes. 🐾 It's so wonderful that you have so much love to give. People shouldn't be mean or judgemental about it. Screw social media! Except for FS of course! You grieve in your own way in your own time. No one here doubts your love for Hogan or that you miss him terribly. We have big enuf hearts that we have an unlimited capacity to love, & grieve. 💕
