and so it goes

Life goes on. I KNOW it does. I’m just not ready for it to yet. I have about 8 phone calls to return for work and more than several emails. I hope people will be patient. I have to work – I have kids to feed. And I want to. I have the best job in the world. I love my job.

We are all about hibernating. And cuddling.

I just feel the need to hibernate for a while. Or something. My feelings alternate between so totally overwhelmed to the point of wanting to shriek; to being completely at loose ends, standing in the middle of the room wondering what the heck I can possibly think of to do. For the next few minutes or the rest of my life. It either doesn’t seem real – he’s just in the next room – will be home soon! Or grief batters me and my brain understands what my body and heart refuse to accept.

However.

I’m trying to act as if. I go to the calls I’ve set up. And once I’m there, I’m okay. We do good. People are pleased. Dogs learn.
I work with my little boarding dog. She’s gone from nuttso crazyo to much calmer. Coming, listening, peeing outside. All good things.

I can function. And I will. More consistently. Soon.
2 weeks ago today my life was what passes for normal in this world. Who woulda thought??

The Day After

Day after Christmas here.

House is trashed.

Kids are happy.

An empty box? Now that's what I'm talking about!

I’m exhausted.  Must have been a successful holiday.

For now, its onward and upward.  My dog training business is making a new turn.  I’ve been taking classes, working with challenging dogs, and their sometimes as equally challenging owners! -  and learning all I can.    This is not changing.   I’m taking another series of classes and a teaching seminar in January.

See what she does to me? WHY? Just...Why?

The big change is where I’m training.  Your house or place of business.  Where the issues are.  Where you need your dog to behave.

Happy Thanksgiving!
