So my newly adopted dog and I are finally settling in and getting a routine. I've been doing research on how to acclimate a newly adopted dog, and am following the advice and it's working. She seems to already be getting over her separation anxiety and isn't barking or crying much when I have to leave her for short periods. (Very important for my neighbors' sanity.) I've also been reading up on her particular mix-breed and have gotten a lot of helpful information.

Yesterday I ended up in a bad mood and don't really know why. I went from being depressed to being really-irritated-by-small-things-other-people-did. I feel fine now.

Hope everyone is hanging in there.
