Community thank you

Lurked for months, posting now. You all helped me feel less alone in this process.

Random Tuesday thought Rest days for the team are training days in disguise. Any gear change that helped — harness vs cape? (since we started logging reps for us).

Bear hates that exact scenario so I feel this. Also snow salt wrecked our paw balm budget last winter.

Would you do the same outing again tomorrow? Tried something similar with Prime and it half worked.

Community threads like this matter more than people say. We figured it out last month.

Rest days for the team are training days in disguise. love seeing teams bounce back mid-outing. May your next line be short and your dog stay settled.

No advice just solidarity, love seeing teams bounce back mid-outing — pharmacy lines move slower than training progress.
