Well, I didn’t find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow this morning, but just the site of something so beautiful was enough to start my morning off nicely! I was really pleased that the camera caught the colors so well.
The boarding kennel has been keeping me busy lately. Which is a mixed blessing I suppose. It’s of course great that the business seems to be taking off, but it’s also nice when it’s slow and I have more time to just spend with my own dogs.
Training is going well though, Twist and I have been working on his broadjump for Open Obedience and I think we’re making progress. It’s been really nice having the agility field back again. Raven’s doing nicely with her obedience training, but her agility contacts still aren’t what I would like them to be. I think I’ve tried just about every method for training contacts, (2ox2o, using stride regulators for a running contact, 4 on the floor), but none seems to work for her. I am kind of stumped right now. Zoe’s still running great, even though we haven’t been able to trial as much as I would have liked this year. It’s hard to believe that she turned 9 today! Seems impossible. I wish I could just freeze time so that she didn’t get any older. Doesn’t work that way though. Layla’s 10 months old now, and is coming right along with her training too. Penny and Lucy are doing still doing great, although Penny wishes that all the afternoon thunderstorms that we’ve been getting would end.
I guess that’s about it, for what’s been going on here…
Wow – that rainbow is beautiful! What a great photo! Sounds like you’re busy but still getting a lot of training done. It’s hard to believe that Layla is already 10 months old. Puppies grow up too quickly and time in general just flies by.
Ricky,
I think that as the kennel get busier, I’ll just have to get better about scheduling my time, so that training and playing with own dogs doesn’t get squeezed out. And yes, time does seem to be just flying by!
Wow, what a wonderful photo! Isn’t it fun when you get to see stuff like that?
My Mom always used to look around at all four of us and say she wished she could freeze time so we’d stay just like that. Of course she said that for years, each time thinking THAT was her favorite moment in time. I think the same about my dog.
Wishing you a great weekend!
Dawns last blog post..It’s not all about Michael
Dawn,
That’s funny! You’d think someone would come up with an invention to freeze time, since so many of us wish it was possible. LOL Oh well. I need to just enjoy each day for what it is, instead of spending time wishing for something that I can’t change.
