I realize that I haven't posted anything since Maggie has been gone. Losing her was very hard on me, and has really made me think about what I want to do with my dogs.
Part of the great connection I had with Maggie was, I believe, because of all the things we did together. We lived in six different homes and went many places together. We started out hiking, then moved on to dog parks, then basic obedience classes, then more advanced obedience classes, then agility class, then seminars, dog shows, etc. Through it all we became very close.
This realization has made me want to pick up the pace with Rip. Ok, maybe we won't live in six different homes together, but we can go places and do things more than we had been. In the past few months we've been to our first Rally trial, taken a heeling class, and have started to take private agility lessons. And we're both enjoying it.
Then I think about my blog. I don't know if I'll go back to the stories & tips on training. Maybe other blogs have that covered.
But I think I would like to share some things I've learned about the dog world. And most of all I'd like to share the work we're doing on our property, Wagmore. Ok, and maybe I'll throw in a dog training thing or two -- if I come upon something fun or when Rip does something that makes me laugh.
