Definitely my best thing today was finding the forum back. And to think that in '07 this forum was my first venture into the world of internet interaction! (email excluded, of course.) My, I missed it when it was gone.
OK, second best thing is the youngest son started his new job today, doing something he loves for not-awful pay. It was a long six months since he was laid off, mostly hanging around our house or his siblings' places being gloomy.

This happened the other day but it's was certainly a "best" thing. I took my dog to a different trainer to *again* get help with her aggression issues towards other dogs. He was AMAZING with her!! Within one session he had her walking along side his dog and at the end of an hour an a half he had her in the yard with five other dogs. First with a leash and muzzle, then just a leash, then off leash with NO muzzle. She acted up a bit but quickly got under control.
This was sooo promising and he said that her issues are not so much that she hates other dogs and wants to kill them but she's basically scared and lacks socialization because I've kept her apart from other dogs for so long. I'm just so amazed at how well she did and it just really goes to show that no dog is too old to learn. She's almost 9 and has had aggression issues since she was 1 1/2 years old. I've taken her to several trainers and behaviorists and she never did as well as with this guy. I'm soo psyched!
He gave me some "homework" to do over the next few weeks and then we're going to board her with him and take her to his doggie day care bootcamp to get her properly socialized. This could open up a whole new world for Lila! I'm sooo thrilled!!
