not the dogsitter

 we're about to take the dog to its owner's sister... we've had him since wednesday, and it was mostly a good experience, but on thursday evening he snapped at mr smear and then yesterday there were apparently two more incidents of aggression, so he's out.

this really sucks, because i took mr smear for two long walks with him yesterday and used the opportunity to train both him and the dog, and it felt like both of them were getting the hang of it and establishing their relationship in a positive way. aside from the three incidents, the two of them have been really cool together, but when gd spoke to the owner's sister last night she admitted that the dog had gone for her kid as well when he was younger so maybe it's not so out of character...

my favourite moment from yesterday was mr smear having a conversation with the dog in hebrew: "i only told you to stop when we crossed the street because i love you and don't want you to get killed" 🤣

gd felt horrible from thursday through to this morning, hopefully she's on the mend. i've been exhausted. aside from a few long walks yesterday it was mostly spent consuming media, gaming and napping. today seems like a nice day, maybe we'll go out. or maybe not. we'll see.
