Challenging week, for sure!

Hi all! Hope you've all had a better week than we did.

Dave is experiencing some significant anger issues, with some weird behaviors attached. Tuesday morning we decided we would go out and have some breakfast, a real treat for us. Dave decided to walk the dogs first (as he does every morning). He wasn't paying attention, and one of the dogs got away from him and attacked another dog. Luckily (really?) it happened by the house, and I heard it. Went running (yes I ran!) half a block, separated the dogs, and made sure there were no serious injuries. The lady walking her dog was distraught, but her dog didn't seem to be hurt. A little blood on his ear, but I couldn't find a bite wound. Dave just stood there, doing nothing. He was confused and wasn't sure what had happened. I don't think we've heard the last from this lady....

I've noticed with Dave, he has only 2 emotions. Happy and pissed off. I know he was upset by what had happened, but it manifested as anger. Jan and I decided to go ahead with our breakfast plan, thinking it would take his mind off of what had happened. We went to our favorite breakfast spot, and Dave spent the entire time spitting his food all over the table. Imaginary egg shells, coffee grounds in his food....whatever. Needless to say it wasn't the most pleasant of breakfasts. Oh well.

The rest of the week went pretty typical, some outbursts and the like, but uneventful. He did okay at Day Care. He had a heat treatment on his back, which has been bothering him, and Friday he had a parafin treatment on his hands, which he likes alot. We ran some errands yesterday, and plan to lay low today.

Hope you all have a week filled with health, love and hapiness!
