I am only barely avoiding the temptation to start my entries with “Dear Diary,” just so you all know.
Anyway, today was a pretty good day. I had at least one good training session with each dog, as well as several frustrating ones. I also realize I’m not as far behind in my various skills as I thought…I assumed my dogs were supposed to be good at stuff already, and they’re really not. But the first obedience test isn’t until week four, I think. So there’s lots of time to figure out how to get them to keep their damn four feet on the damn bed. Damnit.
We didn’t learn any new skills today, and I was grateful for the chance to kind of rehash what we’d been doing, ask some questions, and watch another student working with their dog. It’s so easy to see what’s going on when it’s not you doing the work.
Today I also proved that you can drink wine that has previously been frozen. If you really want it bad enough. Which I did.
I’ve taken some photos around campus and will post them to Flickr sometime when I’m smart enough to bring the camera and the computer to the place where the internet access lives. They aren’t interesting enough to go here, but for those of you who are just dying to picture me in my natural habitat, they’ll be around, I hope by tomorrow but definitely by the weekend.
Nine days until I see my husband!! Whee!!
OK, it’s late, and I’m starting to even bore myself. More tomorrow, when we introduce the down. I almost feel ready for new information, so I’m kind of looking forward to it.
