I figured, at this point, 10 days in, we BOTH needed a break from training. Just needed to enjoy a normal meal together. And we did. Butley more than I, but I'm not much for kibble.
We owe a HUGE thanks to Eric for taking Butley to training tomorrow night. Life got a bit over-booked and, no exaggeration, we have four dogs that need to be in four uniquely distinct places at almost the exact same times and only two handlers. Don't question how these things happen, just know that they do. So, Eric will be taking Butley to Rally where he will be covering the following: Front, Finish around right and Finish around left. Eric is beside himself (really) with how it is he managed to get wrangled into this. That which doesn't kill him (or me) will make us stronger.
So, after a long evening as follows:
1. Roggen to ChildServe;
2. Seneca to City of Urbandale Board of Adjustment meeting with Katie and Ryan;
3. Butley to Rally at Canine Craze;
4. Seneca and Cadence to the Angel Farm for a quick playdate;
5. DIXIE!
Whew!
Many thanks to Eric for his pitching in - career be damned... I don't really know what 'finishing right or left' is, but I'm sure it's quite demanding.
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to give up the trainer's hat for the evening & enjoy the respite of a sit-down meal. Though you may want to try the kibble. It's good with milk & sprinkled with sugar...
And yeah, Butley always waited very well for his food bowl, faucet of drool notwithstanding...
