[nagdu] Dogs listening

[Lora]

That makes sense. I just don't know about this dog. He seems really stressed
out with my lifestyle. I gave him almost two days of letting him play with
very little work and he still seems stressed. Actually he threw up this
morning and has been throwing up almost every morning this week. I'm running
out of money to keep taking him to the vet.
