thanks for the shoulder posting Mrs. Brit.

You know what's best for you and competing. How are the dogs working out for you and the family? It's like having a baby again, or at least that's what I found. We're thinking about adding a rotty as a companion to Baby next year.

Hi Steve and thanks.

Dogs are awesome! Truly loving the new additions to the family, they are very smart, gentle dogs... they are learing to play, that's one thing we find - having been racing dogs they don't know 'how' to play but it's fun teaching them and they are catching on quickly.
Having lots of fun with obedience training!
Will you get a puppy or adopt an older one?

Hey Gorgeous, I knew you could do it!!! Awesome numbers. Can't wait to see your new routine, take care!!!

I'd like to get another puppy from the SPCA. I've heard so much about puppy mills that I'm not sure how to tell a puppy mill apart from a respected kennel that raises dogs. Maybe we'll get lucky and find a rotty puppy at the SPCA. Or, we may end up taking home a couple of puppies just begging to come home.

Steve gotta tell ya that I saw shitloads of rotties and pitbulls in the two weeks we were looking at the SPCA, it's kinda sad they get such a bad rap as being 'mean' dogs... I only saw a couple of rottie pups but they do seem to surface.

BritChick

Thanks Michael... I'M DONE!!!!!!!!!

Just copying all the various docs I need to send in to receive my certification.

WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, congrats Kerry You must be sooooooo happy and relieved it's over

naturaltan

maybe it's depends on what city ones lives in. We've been looking, but haven't seen any rotties at our local SPCA. It's hard to look though, because you really want a specific type of dog, but seeing the other dogs can pull at your heart.

My wife was looking at another dog on the SPCA website that was like the one we have. The other day, she mentioned it was gone, and my daughter asked "Did someone buy him or was it put to sleep" You can't help but think that because that dog was there for so long, that it probably was put down.

Does your SPCA have a website out there?

just kick'in it in the ole Charger

BritChick

Yes, there's a website for the Lower Mainland SPCA and then you click on which city you live in and it will list all the available animals, we've got about 8 shelters that are very within a 30 minute drive from us. I think the site tells you if the dogs have been fostered or adopted.

I know what you mean about looking at the dogs and wanting to take them home with you though, it can be quite heart breaking going to these places.

BritChick

Thanks Michael, Jeni.

Hi handsome... I know, I know... I'm neglecting my friends.
My fucking hot water tank broke on me today, there was a MASSIVE bang from the furnace room today and when I opened the door it was pissing water out of it, there was 1 1/2" on the furnace room floor... fawwwwk... I've got someone coming out this afternoon to replace it... $900 later ugh and to think I cancelled my trips to Nationals and the Emerald Cup to save some pennies... I need a job! Someone needs to respond to my resume and offer me something good and immediate!

Hey Gorgeous, hows it goin?

Hi Michael,
It's going great, busy as heck right now but it's all good, this week has been interviews and training seminars, working on promotion material for myself and building a new fence for my backyard, plus my own workouts... need more hours in the day!
How are things with you?
I am popping in and out of here when I have a few minutes but not that frequently.

Archangel

Sounds pretty hectic. Things are going well here, take care and I look forward to talking at ya again!!!

Good grief! That can't be right can it??!!! My last post was on Apr 21... holy crap!
Okay, well I only came in to say I'm really, really, REALLY fucking tired! lol
Still working 7 days per week with clients, still training for the BC's just under 4 weeks away (did I mention I'm tired?! ), still taking a whole schwack of additional courses, still busy with the new doggies (not quite so new now), getting ready for a new kitty... ha, yes, we're insane... I'll soon be charging admission to this zoo!
Still rushing my ass off taking the kids to there many activities... I think Rod still lives here, we pass fleetingly on the stairs every once in a while.
Heck... give me 3 months and I'll be back with an update!

I know! lol

Diet has been really tough this time around, my weight has been bouncing between 153lbs and 159lbs, I'm like a fricking yoyo... now working with a National level bb for the last month to see if he can help me get my lower body conditioning down... I'm very frustrated right now but 'pissed off' works as a wonderful motivator for me! We figure I've got about another 10lbs to shave off in the last 4 weeks. My diet has recently changed completely very low on the starchy carbs, breakky only and the rest all fibrous... I'm just beat, my body likes starch! lol
Training has been good but not sure how my energy levels will effect the upcoming ones... nearly there though.

How are you Mike?

It's not easy doing what we do, thats what seperates us from the rest of the world!!! Stick with it, your a champion just for living the lifestyle we choose!!!
