I also got a corgi right before lockdown. We started small. People with dogs smaller than her. People that were cool with sitting and waiting for her to go to them. Tons of treats. Making sure she has access to safe spaces. The loud noises while on walks, see if she'd be okay with a carrier or backpack. Then walk around with her while still exploring. Calming words. And again. Lots of treats.

This story is hilarious and could be its own short movie.

My wife has a problem of not saying her please and thank yous which make me feel that everything is an order, though I know she doesn't mean it maliciously. She just doesn't say it. Then if I call her out on it, it turns into a huge argument. Any thought? Secondly, when she gets on her period for the first day, she turns into a ticking time bomb and the smallest infraction will make her go nuclear. A fully aggressive meltdown that honestly scares the crap out of me. I know it's the period/hormones (I've actually science'd it by recording the outburst and comparing it to her lunar cycle) but she refuses to consider therapy or treatment.

By the way, thank you for providing a very much needed service to the community!
