Woke up to Sherbert doing her I have
to go whine, which set me in motion because I really was not looking forward to
cleaning her cage. My morning was a
rocky start not only where we late getting to the faculty which led to me
feeling off kilter because I had to reroute myself and get over to the class
site once I got there and got my bearings I felt better and was able to focus
on what we were doing. I have to say
Sherbert was on her game this morning.
We did one track but she was on top of the footsteps that Jonathan and
his friend took this morning going right to them and having that look on her
face like so mom, I found him where are my dogs (hotdogs) and my tennis ball.

Today was a little awkward for me
because I was in a transition mode due to circumstances Jonathan’s sitter had
to return home and it meant I was handling Jonathan & Sherbert. Can we say
busy bodies but I am happy that the families here have bonded because I had
some moms & dads stepping in to help when necessary at one point we had
grandparents involved with the chaos of the kids. We began to work on behavior disruption
today which includes lap as well as over which can be a large help when
Jonathan is in meltdown mode or coming out of seizure mode because it’s deep
pressure.
So here is the fun part of it all
or at least now that I look back over the day I think that but it was no funny
or laughing matter while it was going on. We were back in the mall today and we
were doing inside tracking and tethering. Now remember yesterday when I wrote
about the chaos that J caused in the stores with tethering. Well today was no
different Mister Brown went for ham and just cut a fool at first I attempted to ignore it and act
like nothing was going on but that lasted all of about thirty minutes because I
could feel the tension headache forming behind my eyes and I can only imagine
the scene we were causing. Sooo I
untethered them and that still did not satisfy him so we went through a three-hour
period of an upset and temper tantrum child and a dog who did not know whether
to stay by Mom’s side or to try to console his boy because his boy was simply
in fight or flight mode. After a few moms stepped in and attempted to help me
we finally got an idea on how to pull off a tracking situation in the mall and
JcPenny’s of all places but it worked out because we made it as fun as
possible.

Once back at the hotel I was
hoping for a quiet moment I was even willing to let J take a quick nap for a
quiet moment but he had other plans so I let Sherbert and him play for a little
while to see who would tired down first. Let us just say as I write this blog he
is up making noise and knocking on the wall.
Here is hope that the night manager does not call up here tonight for
his mayhem…
Cannot wait to share with you
tomorrow’s adventure we are official on countdown until time to go home T minus
5 days…
~Truly Blessed,
Misherald “Missy”, Jonathan “JB”
& Sherbert “SD” Brown
