This past week's approximations to make Shelby comfortable in the carrier again after his last vet visits. Cherish the approximation! We worked on
1) Closing and opening the carrier door without locking it
2) Moving my hand around the botom lock
3) Turning the bottom lock
4) Turning the top lock

Darlene is more comfortable in the carrier as she only had one visit that was relatively not too bad but we stick to a similar approximation, no harm in re-strenghtening easier pairings, besides, Shelby is not ready for me to move around his carrier (I.e. lifting Darlene while he is his carrier)
