Word 3/5 #rage

Told from Chet‘s (🐶) POV.
Chet and his private investigator human, Bernie, look for a missing teen girl. I love the relationship between Bernie & Chet and I found Chet‘s inner monologue very entertaining.
This one checked off several boxes for me.

This was a challenging semester. Yesterday was the last day and I didn‘t have many students, but the ones I had were great! I had one stay with me for the last three classes of the day, with permission from her other teachers so she could read the tagged book in the corner of my room that has cushions. We build Lego in AP, and two even brought their grade to passing. Now time to relax and read! 🥰

Such a great narrator!

Unfortunately, I came down with a cold and a very bad cough but receiving these books in the mail from Misty definitely made my day! Thank you so much!! I will be enjoying reading these!!

Reactive to Relaxed is the most current Control Unleashed book from Leslie McDevitt. As someone who has struggled with Generalized Anxiety Disorder herself, Leslie writes that she was drawn to the dogs with big feelings. And that comes through in her thorough system to help these dogs navigate the human world. She throws in some good humor too. I‘ve used pieces of CU, but reading the A-Z of this system makes me realize that I need to commit to it.

A must read for our #dogsoflitsy
Who knew Tarshis wrote a picture book? And it's adorable over and #underthedustcover

I‘ve picked my #ThematicCozies book for January. I‘ll also put it on my #readyourebooks & #Roll100 lists.

Finally reading Control Unleashed: Reactive to Relaxed. This quote makes me think of all the dogs I see & hear out in the world who are struggling. So many dog guardians don‘t recognize the signs of anxiety in their dogs. When I‘m training Lizzie on walks, we regularly pass other dogs who lunge at us and those guardians shrug it off. I want to tell them their dog needs help, but I don‘t see that conversation going well. It‘s actually really sad.
