i'm back!

Ov vey, I've been out of touch with my imaginary blog readin' community, well, hey, who knows who's reading this.
Life is interesting, perhaps what I've been reading about the Tao is starting to seem more real then ever before.
In a nutshell, when your heart is aligned with your actions, things just happen. My evidence? My colleague, Liz and I submitted a proposal to speak at the HSUS (Humane Society of the United States) Expo last fall....and our proposal was accepted!!!!!
YEEEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWW! It's a total and complete honor, and in the wake of that news my creative juices have a' started flowing. It's what the say "being called into action", it's just amazing and we're so excited. Whoo! And the dogs are great!
I've started doing training sessions with them mid-day. We run across the tundra to the barn and have fun- jumps, tunnel, beginning weave poles, and they love it. I never thought of dog training as a stress reliever, because I suppose I always think it's stressful for people on the other end, but even 3 minutes messing around has been a lot of fun. I remember when Debbie Winkler suggested that I train my ferret to do something. Once I started working with her, something shifted, so I do think that working WITH your animal really does strengthen the bond. All is well, the dogs are wearing their fleeces, running among the snow flakes and cuddling under the blankies (with mom of course).
Be well!
