Ok, seriously, I don't know what I'm doing. I feel like there is not change in Dok, and I feel like I am working my ass off. I know he is doing the best that he can, I wonder if I am not doing enough. I feel like the whole thing is way bigger than the two of us (or three if you count Mike). I've read all the paperwork that the Doctor gave me, I am plowing through the book (which by the way is excellent), I just don't feel like there is much change. I know that currently I am supposed to ask him to do these things with treats as motivation... but its so difficult, I feel like I am starting over, and I feel like its never going to change. Its much more difficult to do behavior modification on your own animals... just sayin.
Today we have worked together only once, but I will do another session after dinner, and I will make sure that Mike does one as well. I would like if if we both worked with him at least 4 times a day... but that has not happened the way I want it to. I feel like I can not make people understand how important this is to me... I really wan't him to get better.
Today I got the happy face most of the time... except when I make him change positions, or if I change position. He seems to have difficulty with movement. I was able to have him sit and wait while I went into the front room and grabbed my phone to take a picture of him... so that is good. I guess I will just have to keep it up. I know there will be good and bad days, I just wish I had more help. I also wish I had more good days! I know I can do this, I'm just feeling pretty low about it right now.
