Happy Christmas Eve my sunshines ☀️ Beach vibes brought to you by and

Last week, I woke up next to my lovely friend, for the last time. She had slept pressed against my side all night. Usually she would sigh and be annoyed at the slightest movement and move down the 3 little stairs by our bed to her cushion. It's like she or her body knew it was her last night with us. Elsa, I miss you so much. I treasure every cuddle puddle we had but especially the last ones.
I miss your high pitched awoo when the van hits a dirt road.
I miss your growl when the cat disturbs your peace, only to then let her lick your face repeatedly.
When you hop up alert and ready to be at my side if I wake in the night.
Your oh so soft muzzle resting by me.
Your Shakey shake of prized possessions.
How you appear like lightning from anywhere when I say the word "drop".
So many little nuances this week that aren't there.

A lovely and caring client asked me how I was doing yesterday. Without thinking I enthusiastically said great! I think in that 30 seconds It was great to see her and her adorable and lively dog. I don't feel guilty about the teeny breaks from grief anymore. I treasure them, because I know they will come more often as time passes. I need to treasure any relief from that sickly feeling deep in my stomach, in my heart. And it's more than alright, that when my son has fallen asleep in the van, I sit there and listen to a song that makes me bawl my eyes out and I look at pictures of you to bring myself back to sanity.

How could I choose a picture? Commitment despite distraction, even if the pic ain't so great, wins over. Auras commitment to be attentive on the adventure, despite the barking lunging LGD on a chain, her offered attentiveness to me despite people hollering "funny jokes" out their mini van. I'm so proud of this girl. Once required sedation for a vaccination, recently had a hot spot treated, muzzle and drug free ❤️

Although we should visit more often, Dr. Shannon never guilt trips us. Visiting is a wonderful reminder to keep up on tactile stimulation, strength and mobility building exercises, consistency with exercise (rather than weekend warrior stuff) and setting up a consistent training schedule for winter. Also, supplements, all the senior supplements. Big Thank -You to for encouraging the best care for my princess.

Hope everyone had a fantastic Halloweek! 👻
What was your dog's favourite trick and treat?
Beretta's was Spin! And her fav treat was a fuzzy 🍑 candy that landed on the floor.
Chips was leave it because then he got handed the leftover toddler food!
Elsa's was whistle recall and the string cheese!

Seniors strut. I was fully prepared that if we didn't make it past the tree line, we could just turn back and make some bone broth in the parking lot. Possibly go for a nice cold ❄️ campout at a FCFS site. But my senior dogs all needed multiple reminders to chill on this little hike. Their hard work in the cool mornings this year, their occasional bodywork, mobility, and stretches is paying off.

Ptarmigan Cirque, a very busy hike that I have been avoiding for years because of the volume of traffic . I picked a day, during the week when it would snow ❄️ and it was absolutely lovely 😍 Slightly Muddy and slick and best of all, no one asked to pat my dogs!
Though a few were very lovely and I offered because Elsa was dying of social neglect.

After a 45 min walk, I gave Beretta "free rein" on a track today. We likely won't be competing in tracking anymore (unless a club is in need of entries) or there is a fun trial. I'm just not sure I have the bandwidth to outsmart her and shape the picture of what the sport is looking for.
This track (only videod pieces because I'm dragging Wyatt in a wagon and she is flying because she knows she has no rules today so I am struggling to keep up.
2.5 hr aged
1350 paces
6 corners
7 legs
4 articles (Paid the Articles) 2 crooked 2 straight
0 food.

We failed our IFH1 on Sunday at a trial (4 points) and I was asked to call her on the second leg. I have such a deep appreciation for the track layers, judges and competitors of this sport. I cried so many times thinking of all the work I put in, I know it's going to take so much more to attempt a pass and sadly with 5 senior pets a toddler and owning my own business, I don't think I can keep it up.
I think she will be happy with her retired random tracks, lots of hikes and some CKC obedience.

Some moments they are on top of the world. Walking on water.
Seconds later their hind end collapses in 6 inch grass.
Our senior dogs are so precious. For way too many people, the painful and challenging moments are tossed aside when they drop their senior dog at the local rescue.
Our geriatric dogs earned our support in the hard moments and the precious ones too.
They deserve the extra skin care, the slow walks and commitment to supplements and meds to keep them comfortable.
Use the time with your senior dog to breathe and enjoy nature, you deserve it and so do they.

Qualify or NQ, I try my best not to let my dog know.

Hobbies.
What is it about hobbies that make them stick?
Why, at 40 + years do I still carry my skateboard around in my Ford Transit? (Not just for behaviour modification cases and puppy raising, but oh man is it helpful)
Life might get busy but you return to that hobby again and again, even if you only did it once last year.
I think it's learning new skills.
Why do you attend training seminars? Go to classes? Purchase online subscriptions?
