This morning I took the guys out for the morning walk in the Country Park as usual. There was no-one around and at one point, I was watching Jesse and calling him. As I turned round, I saw the other three mingling with the two dogs that I met a couple of days ago and that Dylan and Flash shouted at (on lead!). I was really worried about these two dogs as Flash and Dylan didn't respond well to them two days ago they passed us (though Dylan and Flash were on the lead) and because Flash doesn't usually like malamutes being large and upright dogs. I haven't seen this chap with these two dogs before this week, but it meant I had to be on high alert again always expecting to call Flash back.
But this morning I didn't see them approaching as I was watching Jesse lagging behind and I couldn't believe it when Flash was just standing there, not much tension at all, just mingling as if it was the most normal thing in the world...
I told the owner that I was really pleased and told him about Flash's back problem and how he became aggressive etc. and we had a little chat. Then we went our separate ways.
I may have shed a tear or two afterwards - and I still can't believe what happened! We've had a few good experiences over the last few weeks, but this is BIG! I'm so chuffed, I bought some cake to celebrate. LOL
Flash also just looks overall so much happier, is regularly running off to go hunting again (not much fun for me, but a sign that he is feeling well) and finally is enjoying life again! And so am I! Magic!
