Wednesday, 6th of February

I haven't written anything for a long time. Bad blogger me! Time just seems to fly by. It is already February. In 2 days time is Noah's birthday and I haven't prepared anything. Wanted to do it yesterday, but with the weather being so bad I didn't feel like going anywhere.

I took Max to the Chiropratic practice yesterday and they said there is nothing major wrong with him, preventing him from jumping.
I had a lovely private session with Nancy last with. Max was so happy afterwards as it was such a positive experience. He did really well.
It is just not easy to keep up in the regular training.

Depending how the training goes I am really torn between "year, we will get there" and "why do I bother".
Even if the dogs are excellent, then it is me messing everything up because I cannot focus or in general can't concentrate very well....

Now the boys show interest in Agility as well, but you never know how long it will last. Junus took now on to train with Nina, just general obedience stuff and perfecting the "elephant trick" Nancy showed us. Nina is a clever girl and very rewarding to teach.
I am contemplating now to let Junus start with her in Agility. But it is always hard to find a beginners course, or maybe start private lessons for him? Not really sure what to do.
Maybe it would get Chadiga motivated as well, as she goes to her Agility lessons with Larkin, but outside of lessons, she doesn't do an awful lot, which can be frustrating from my point of view. Maybe I should try different tactics of motivation.
I was thinking of taking them to the WAG show and let them run Jake. Maybe Chadiga doing the Agility and let Junus do the jumping???

Sometimes it would help to have somebody to talk to and share all those difficult decisions ;-)

Today it seems to be sunny, but that might change..... Would be nice to have a few dry days, we might even be able to use the garden again :))

I fenced a part of the garden off, which is very muddy and which is just outside the back door. Now the dogs took to jump the fencing :-s and are still in the mud :( Dogs, eh???

I wish I had more equipment, then I could do much more, if my garden ever recovers....

Oh well, better take the mutts out now, as long as the sun shines :)
