This is Sparkler, Kiri…
Kiri earned her first Utility leg yesterday! This is a really Big Deal — Utility is the highest level of obedience, and a tough class. We celebrate each and every Utility leg on the way to that UD title 🎉 CONGRATULATIONS Team Kiri! ⭐️
Meanwhile in Montana, Specialty Prep (14 days and counting) is going well. This is Claire, Kiri’s littermate…
Claire is enjoying all the training and practicing we are doing — and so am I ❤️
Happy Sunday to you 🌞
Another way you can be involved in the National Specialty (17 days — Holy 💩) is with the official BMDCA 2023 Road Trippin’ Playlist — it is free on Spotify: Click HERE to go to the list.
Here is Claire working on coat care -- mud baths are her favorite!
Please have a terrific Thursday ❤️🍩
The book, “Time Management for Mortals” makes the point that we never have enough time for all the things we would like to do — or think we should do, for that matter.
This is so true.
This is a lesson I learned over and over during the past 20 months of Crisis Saturation. I just did not have the capacity to do everything I wanted to do — or should do — and so I learned to be intentional about how I spent my Little Soldiers (aka capacity).
It was a process of trial and error, with lots of tears involved — but I have gotten pretty darn good at being okay, and it is because I know to prioritize those things that make me okay.
Right now, that includes getting ready for a Specialty I have looked forward to for two years.
Claire
What I did not expect was the way my crises would reflect the goodness of others.
Those who have continued to show up: Thank you.
Those who do not demand instant anything: Thank you.
