I’m in Love

I brought Oberon home yesterday.

We walked the house.

We walked the yard.

We walked around each other.

Eventually I sat and he kept walking. No panting. No anxious behavior. Just walking.

I got down on the floor and he came over and sat down next to me.

I just petted him. Making sure I wasn’t hitting any spots he had issues with.

He farted and fell asleep on my legs.

Farting is a VERY common theme with him.

I moved to the chair once my legs regained feeling.

Note to self: don’t let a 93 pound dog fall asleep on you as you sit cross legged on the floor.

After that he followed me around like my ass was made of dog treats.

Eventually I decided to take a nap. I cannot say the last time I felt like I could nap. And when I did try … I wasn’t successful.

I slept for three hours straight! Oberon laying on my feet the whole time.

Rest of the day we did dog-things.

I watched some training videos. He has some politeness issues and I must work on that.

I went out to a local friend’s house for a couple hours and felt it would be a good test for Oberon.

I came home and he was so calm. Sitting up in his cage.

Soon we went to bed.

Again Oberon was on my feet.

I didn’t have any bad dreams. I almost slept through the night.

Got up and went to the vet. He rides in the car like a champ.

Everything checked out.

Right now I’m writing with him snoring at my feet. I expect a fart anytime now.

I’m more happy – in this moment – than I have been in a long time.

Oh I am well aware he is not the fix for my issues. But dam … he is a help.
