I'm getting sick, which is poop, because I feel awful and today is supposed to be my day where I walk the puppies.  I'm still going to go in, I think, but I'll probably go a lot slower than normal and I will definitely not stay longer than 2 hours like I do a lot of times.  Of course I'll still try and do the long walk, as I like to allow the puppies to get in a super long walk with me.  I know not many others take them out as long as I do, and they stay cooped up in their kennels for most of the day and I just want them to have a little more time outside when they are with me.

Speaking of puppies, turning to my own...I may have figured out a way to keep Callie out of the crate so she doesn't hurt herself or anything in trying to escape, but not giving her free reign in the house when no one is home.  I've been putting her on a 20 foot line inside when she is by herself, and so far it has been working decently well.  Maybe when she gets more used to being alone, which I hope she does more quickly now that she will be alone for at least a few hours for 5 days a week or so, I will let her off the line.  But she needs to stop chewing on things when no one is around.  She did chew my gaming chair and I am very displeased.  She knew I was really angry with her that day after that.

I'm wondering if my response included all that I wanted to say.  I keep rereading it and thinking that I missed something here or there, but...I don't know.  I hope it doesn't come off as condescending either, since that is also not my intention.  Bah, I don't know.  I sort of wanted to convey that being sad does not equal being a terrible person.  Actions were terrible, yes, but the hate never arose because of sadness.  It arose because of bad actions.

I don't know if that makes sense.  I tried to make it make sense.
