He didn't give much of a fight to wear it the first time and was actually far calmer then he's ever been since I've known him. I don't plan on having him wear it for the rest of his life though and already he's shown some great improvement while out for a walk and not wearing it. Me and my brother when for a 2 hour walk the other day plus he walked Boone eariler in the day. Boone was pretty tired and relaxed so I took it off. No one was around where we stopped and he was trying to pick up a stick so I figured why not. Well Drifter reverted abck to being a puppy and decided he wanted the stick. So I'd toss it across the river and he actually ran/swam after it and brought it back. Boone badly wanted in on this game now so I removed the leash and for a better part of an hour me and my brother tossed sticks across the river for Boone and Drifter to chase. When a few people did come by (one group with two barking dogs) Boone could have cared less he was tired and his mind was busy playing tog of war with Drifter over a stick. He glanced and that was it. I couldn't believe how much Drifter played that day he was like a pup again, running, swimming, playing, jumping... he was so happy and Boone was to as he actually had a proper playmate for that span of time. Drifter wasn't too sore later on that day either and hasn't had a seizure in a while now. Yay!
Woke up last Saturday, beautiful weather so I took some pictures of the mutts out on the front lawn and in the backyard, also decided to start up a side thing for some extra cash. Hopefully this along with part time at the groomers I'll get some extra cash going even while I'm possibly taking a $6000+ course for dog training come June.
