I still feel like I don't know what I am doing at times too. It terrifies me as a foster because many times I feel like my mistake is a turning point. It's been for the worse in a lot of cases. But I am trying my best and so we learn from the mistake and move on. I have told all my animals, personal and foster that whatever they go through with me is not in vain and is preparing me for the next that needs my help. I feel like I am always apologizing to them profusely. I do, thankfully, have many success stories as well. So it is working.

I imagine that dog sledding could potentially be a great outlet and very enriching for dogs if they are cared for properly. There are always so many opinions and sadly people honestly do believe that they are doing what is best. Humans are so closed minded that many of us do not wish to consider that change, while threatening and scary, can lead to improvement. I catch myself stuck in that loop from time to time and try to get out of it as soon as I notice.

I will check out the article as well as the documentary. Biased or not it's awesome to see perspectives from all viewpoints to get a good feel for the topic. Plus the fact that your dogs are in it is honestly kind of cool.
