Tails of a 17th Street Geisha

Did I tell you?

They found Carmelita. The dog was stolen and then found! Even with the great news of finding her, the family then decided they couldn’t handle her (pooping all over the house, aggressive) so they shipped her back to DC for me to take care of her…

My life is all about Carmelita now. Training her, walking her, feeding her, taking her to the vet, getting her pedicures (nails trimmed), stopping her from barking all night long and ultimately figuring out how I can train her to get along with my boyfriend’s dog.  Carmelita has attacked other dogs and has some aggression issues with people who wake her up.

The bad news is that Carmie’s first encounter with my boyfriend’s dog ended up in an ER visit, 4 stitches, and a 400 dollar vet bill! My man and I are anxious about the dogs because we want to live together, but they have to not kill each other while we’re at work.

Also, I have to find a way to train her to walk without pulling when she sees other dogs (and birds and ants and flies…) this is important because Carmie is making my carpal tunnel (in both arms) hurt SO badly that I have to take prescription anti-inflammatories and heating pads and am STILL in so much pain.

I need to sell or rent my place out, make some money, get rid of my credit card debt and move closer to work so I can walk the dog mid-day and balance the gym, work and dog.

So much work for such a little thing!
