I found out this am that my friend Dawn passed away in her sleep. She was 37. I am in shock. It made me think of the quote from Ferris Bueller above. I wake up every day looking forward to finishing work or the weekend or the dog show and I am not just being happy I am waking up. I should cherish every morning, every sunrise and sunset, every kiss from my dogs or training session. Every hug from my husband or smile over dinner. I am going to make an effort to do this every day. Just cherish life.
On a completely different note, we had this small skateboard in our office for months. One of my co-workers challenged me to teach one of the dogs to use it. So, I took it home and armed with my clicker and treats I let Rev out to play with it. Within 5 mins she had both paws on it and was able to walk pushing it. I kept thinking to stay calm and patient and let her choose to play with it and not me showing her what to do. She did great. I am so proud of her.
Again, cherish all the moments. I am lucky to have a dog who wants to play much less play with a skateboard!
welcome to the world of blogging! So sorry to hear about your friend. We lost our friend the day before his 30th birthday almost two years ago already. It was a huge shock and I still think about him and his family almost every day. Good luck with the blog I look forward to catching up with you more often!!
