Meanwhile... Back at the Ranch... Episode 94 (Audio)As I mentioned earlier this week we spend some time discussing the situation with Jolene and Ed at the house. I do want to clarify a few things because I think people tend to imagine the worst case scenario and so I want to talk little bit further in this post.Some people wondered why Ed would be sent to the other side of the house thinking that was some sort of punishment to her, it very much isn’t. Ed is 10 years old and she sleeps the majority of the day. Jolene is 1.5 years old and has lots of energy and it would make no sense to do anything but have Ed on the other side of the house. It causes her no stress whatsoever so it truly is the best option.I also think people imagine things like they can never be together, like ever which is also untrue, Jolene is not a monster that attacks a dog on sight, this situation has occurred because of Ed behaving erratically triggered by me moving in and out of the house, and she is responding to that.I know lots of people have dogs that will just look at another dog and attack it, I assure you this is not the situation we have here.There is no one answer for why, and how, and what is causing this kind of problem in peoples homes, they are all different personalities, with different energy levels, and lots, and lots, and lots, of extenuating circumstances so there is no way to explain the how and the why for every persons dynamic in their home.Anyway that’s what a lot of tonights podcast is about, we welcome Laura back from being so ill. Lordy the conversation takes a precarious turn that I’m not even going to touch…
