Mo.

I like Mondays. They are always the fastest day of the week. Sure, you have four days of work left after it, but Monday itself is like lightning.

Here is a link that I have stolen from Penny, my agility trainer's blog. It made me giggle.

I secretly lurk Penny's blog. I found a link to it on her youtube profile. She's a funny woman, but I sometimes think she has way too much time on her hands. Some of the things she writes about training are useful though, as well as the feedback she gets from other agility competitors. Reading some of her triumphs and set backs and challenges have really inspired me to get into agility as more than just a way to give my over-energetic kelpie x something more interesting to think about.
I can't wait until I get can get my puppy. I want an Australian Shepherd puppy so I can train it properly. I even came up with a name today.
My dogs are great but Fink is a bit old and Honey is just too timid. It's rewarding when she overcomes her fear and finally realises she can do a new obstacle without a monster jumping out of it. When she finally does click she gets all cocky and starts doing things by herself without being asked. It's pretty cute really. Last time we went to agility she actually RAN and did four obstacles in a row. The week before that I couldn't even get her over a jump.

I'm looking forward to having a more motivated dog who actually loves doing it and has a natural curiosity for things, rather than a fear.

And I decided on an Aussie because they're a bit like collies, medium sized tend to build strong bonds with their owners. They need a bit of exercise, but hey, so do I.

Tonight, I think, is my last night off before the show. Busy, busy me until Sunday D: and even then I have two games of volleyball.

Geez, anyone reading my blog who didn't know me would think I wasn't lazy. Truth is, work is the relaxing part of my life at the moment! I go there and sit around doing easy stuff where I can have a social conversation at the same time. A lot like school really, only without the grumpy teachers and homework.

Anyway, personally today is good. I seem to have emotions all over the place at the moment. Happy one day, miserable the next. I'm not real sure what that's all about but I'm glad it sort of works out to more good days than bad. Appetite is getting better. I discovered sweet potato fries. I am in love with them. They are so much better than normal fries (but sweet potato is better than normal potato in everything) and I could keep eating them forever. Y'know, as long as they weren't the only things I was eating. Vitamin A is good and all but I think I need a few more nutrients than that.

On that note I will finish this because my keyboard needs cleaning and half the keys don't work and my fingers keep hitting the touch pad on my laptop and making me lose my place. It's getting very annoying!
