Badger did "Big Hup" Today!
Badger has had a year off since losing his eye to adjust to being a dog again. Since that time, he's lounged around the house or the kennel, taking brief walks on a leash, adjusting to walking in a straight line. Walking in a straight line has actually taken a lot of effort on his part, as his instinct was to drift in the direction that he could see or away from things by which he felt threatened. Heeling was a thing of the past. He either lagged behind me so that he could see me or ended up nearly to the end of his leash, several feet from my left leg because he brushed against me unexpectedly.

CBD Treats for Hyperactive Dogs: Promoting Calm and Focus. AI-Generated.
I have a confession. My Golden Retriever, Max, used to drive me absolutely nuts. I'm talking about the dog who would sprint laps around my living room at midnight, crash into furniture, bark at his own reflection, and somehow still have energy after a two-hour hike. My vet kept saying, "He's just a high-energy dog—he needs more exercise!" But here's the thing: I was already exercising him to death. There had to be something else going on.
