good exercise. you often run into people who take responsibility for their surroundings thinking if they don't do it then no one will but everyone is having the same opinion. they take immediate decisive action and if no one stands up to them will ultimately dictate the rules everyone has to live by.

I can understand the host. I like the guy. he us humble and accommodating. A great example of an middle aged Japanese nerd. He monitors the space glancing from behind his laptop screen and takes care of small details for guests without being asked. He is running a business. I don't want to make him problems. So the only available options for actions to take would be to accept defeat in the first step or move out.
I could also remind myself that I might take too many behavioral patterns of my dog for granted instead of trying to correct them like I should. I know that dogs kind of know who II afraid of them and keep polite distance. and they are not supposed to rest where people walk. that's a dominance gesture that I tend to Llewelyn him get away with despite better knowledge. the truth is probably that I'm too weak to stand up against my own dog and that I need training.
so lets not finish the year with hate in my heart. I can be thankful for the guy to force me to correct my behavior and grow as a person. and on the way I might get to a closer bond to my dog and become happier. everything happens for a reason. it's rarely a good idea to question destiny.
