Clipped my dog into a pony and then turned him out in the field.

Been working on scentwork a lot more with Ollie lately. It's a great indoor activity for the colder months, and it's also perfect for burning Ollie's energy without draining myself on my bad days.

Ollie's finally consistently giving me a sit alert when he locates the scent, which is a big improvement from when he was trying to break open anything I hid the vessel in so he could retrieve the scent for me. He has now worked out that I don't want the scent, I want the sit, so he will occasionally test me with a false alert to see if I will reward it. I don't.

I think he'll be ready to trial this upcoming season, assuming my health actually allows us to show up. Dog shows are so good at reminding me that I am disabled.

Enjoying the fluffy hair while I still can - winter weather is coming, and those conditions are horrible for maintaining a nice coat. I will be breaking down and shaving the boy soon, I just haven't picked his new style yet.

My Dearest Madison

I have been so bad at writing, but I think I just have to let it go and start fresh. I’ve been working so much and not having any time to write when I get home. I’m so tired all the time and then I get overwhelmed thinking about how much I need to catch up on. SO I just need to let it all go and move forward.

To recap what I haven’t been posting, things have been good! You had your first friend birthday party a few weeks ago with Jazmyn, a friend from daycare. I was really nervous to go, thinking there would be a bunch of other moms there and I would have to socialize with them all. but it ended up being really great. We were the first ones there so we got to hang out with Jazmyn and her mom Erica for a little bit. She got to see you girls interact and how much you get along. I didn’t want you to miss out on a fun party and I’m really glad I took you since you were really the only little girl there for most of the party. Plus Princess Belle came and I knew you would be excited about that! You even told me “I had fun at Jazmyn’s birthday.” So sweet!

Before leaving I told Erica if she wanted to get you girls together again to let me know. So anyway, today we had a play date for you! I literally cleaned the house for 5 days and we went and bought patio furniture last night! It was a family play date! I bought a giant pool slide with a lazy river for you and Daddy wasn’t too happy with me, haha but it’s fun!

Anyway, it went well I think. Thankfully they were more talkative than we are so it helped since I can be a little awkward until I really get to know people. You girls had fun too and when they left you said “Jazmyn had fun at my house today.” It was so funny, when we were waiting, you walked out the front door and shrugged your shoulders and said “They’re not here, they’re not here Momma. Come here Momma.”

You girls sure do love to play together, even if Jazmyn is a few months older. Hopefully you can be friends for a long time! :)
