@myles0 My pets have been driving me bananas sometimes. I feel really guilty because one of my dogs has anxiety and just FREAKS out with all the walking, mail delivery, cars, etc. neighborhood traffic is way up since COVID. She just barks and barks and is hard to calm down. She already has medical issues, so I feel like a shit person being frustrated with her. I know she doesn’t have a lot of time left.
I’m 34 weeks pregnant and walking hurts, but I’m trying to stick to a WFH routine with them. 8:15AM walk, breakfast, dog naps. Cat goes to lay on the picnic table in the fenced yard for about a half hour (tell Alexa to set a timer), he gets fed, gets a nap.
Everyone goes outside around noon - dog walks for a half hour, cat back outside when we’re home. Set an Alexa timer for 30 minute increments if cat behaves himself outside and doesn’t get squirrely.
Trying to get one last pet walk in around 5:30-6pm
When my husband gets home. If I stick to the routine, everyone is pretty chill and there’s minimal drama. If I don’t, they are barking, meow yelling hell beasts
