[nagdu] guide dogs and sprained ankles

[Raven Tolliver]

Obedience routines. This creates a way for your dog to still please
you, and a way for him to receive love and affection through praise
and rewards.
Also, you can still play with your dog. Tug, fetch. The golden guy
loves chasing after toys. You could tie one to a string and just drag
or swing it around.
And don't worry, your dog will not become more attached to your
roommate than he is to you. I understand that your relationship is
still relatively new, but just because your roommate takes him out
doesn't mean much. Remember, all good things still come from you --
food, playtime, love and affection, and praise and rewards while
working together. The past nine or how many ever months certainly
won't go down the drain just because you can't handle Dallas and
crutches at once.
