Brito is 9 years old and is a typical terrier – hasn’t slowed down one iota.ĭue to COVID I haven’t traveled in a couple of years, and honestly, I don’t miss it. Lyra is now almost 11 years of age and as charming and good-natured as ever.
In a future blog, I’ll talk about him a bit more – how I characterize his temperament, and what that means for his future as a dog sports prospect. And while he’s a rather typical strong-willed male from working lines, we’re finding our way and hope to have a strong and competitive future when the time is right. I decided to keep him and he’s now my dog.
That puppy, Xen, is now eight months old. I offered to foster a puppy and give it a dog sports foundation. He is currently in training for IGP and is doing well in the sport.Īt around the same time, a friend had a litter and had extra puppies that had not been placed yet. Because his breeder felt that he could be rehomed to a situation where his temperament would not be a problem, I agreed. While management is always an option, management failure is the norm, not the exception, and I could not accept that risk. While I was willing to work with his dog-reactive behavior in public (which was improving!), I finally came to recognize that the overall package – not just his behavior in public, was neither a safe nor enjoyable fit for my family. I live in a family with several other people and I have an active household. As much as I tried to make it work, his temperament was not appropriate for my situation. I sent Dice back to his breeder several months ago. That takes just enough effort that I’ve been neglecting it. With my blog, I try harder to write intelligently, proofread (okay, still not my strength), and organize my thoughts into a more comprehensive package. I can also do random Live events on the various platforms to communicate whatever random thoughts are floating around in my head at the time. It’s easy for me to grab a quick clip out of a training session, explain what I am doing or why I do it a specific way, and then throw it up on IG or FB. And since doing this is extremely gratifying for me, it takes up quite a lot of time. I try to post educational content of various sorts behavior, dog sports competition skills, getting along with people, etc…pretty much daily.
DONT WORRY IM FINE FREE
Free education, for the most part, because I spend a very high percentage of my day on Social Media Instagram, Facebook and TikTok. What happened?!Īll is well! I stopped running day-to-day operations at FDSA, and that freed up time to do what I am seriously passionate about – education. I haven’t written on my blog in many months.
