The storm has passed, at least for now. Not too bad. Frieda spends part of each day in the former goat pen, which we call her “minimum security” facility. She’s spending more and more time in the house. Dog training is a reflection of my humanity. Yesterday I found myself yelling at the dogs, and I knew it was time to settle down, come into the farmhouse, and take a deep breath. Nobody ever trained a dog well by yelling at them.
