Big box early mornings are the only sane strategy. small wins really do stack up. Cheering quietly from the sidelines.

Checkout lines teach patience for both species. i needed proof that progress is messy. Cheering quietly from the sidelines.

If Index could read they would nod aggressively. Also self-checkout lines test patience more than dogs.

Did you film it for your trainer or just wing it? Going to steal this routine for Mocha's next outing.

Late to the thread but Big box early mornings are the only sane strategy. First time trying that location or a repeat? (when the weather finally cooled off for us).
