@39flavours and @tishawj - Thanks so much for welcoming me back! :) I hope you were well, while I was away. I am glad to be getting back to some kind of routine! It is kinda hard, when you've been out of your routine, for awhile... <3

@RenaPink11 Funny you should say, because I was just telling hubby today that we should get another dog. :) Golly is the sweetest, snuggliest boy. He is just a bit nervous, understandably. I think the world is a bit overwhelming to him. And also a lot of folks are nervous around him, because he kind of looks like aβ¦

@SModa61 Hi! Sorry it took me so long to respond. I was not offended in the least and I appreciate you taking the time to think about me. :) As a matter of fact, my last dog did wear a muzzle in and out of the building, as sadly he was even more reactive than Golly is! I have considered having Golly wear a muzzle just toβ¦

@shmmm3 Thanks for the book recommendation, I will check it out! And I am seeing a lot of improvement with Golly, and very quickly (for example, he can now walk past a dog on the other side of the street without reacting) but for sure, if I need more help I will definitely find a trainer/behaviourist.

@RenaPink11 Thank you!!! And thanks for sharing about your hubby's experience. I think I am best to just steer clear of booze altogether - especially considering my genetics as well as my trauma history. It's just not a good thing. I will focus on being a "sporty girl" instead of a "party girl". Lol! I wasn't takingβ¦

@GirlOnTheRebound THANKS!!! Sorry it took me so long to respond to this! I am super behind in my reading, apparently! I will be honest, the first couple of days of not drinking (after drinking daily for at least... 24 months?) were pretty challenging. But it got easier and easier over time.
