This morning took me on a longer run 7.23 km at 45 mins, there were times that I wanted to walk or go home or just go to the cafe and eat and drink coffee…..but I didn’t, I made it to 45 mins and it was hard. Then I see did an easy 8km and is smiling….one day!

Hello friends!

The total solar eclipse is just around the corner, and just about everyone is ready to see the once in a lifetime event. We are seeing some mixed information about pet/wildlife safety.

Contrary to what some may read, the sun itself is not any more dangerous during the eclipse. The reason protective eye wear is recommended for humans (who wish to observe the eclipse) is because many of us will be staring directly at the sun that day, which is something we typically avoid.

For our pets, and outdoor wildlife, that day will be similar to any other day. Our pets don’t stare at the sun, so there is no need to keep them indoors on April 08 for any extended period of time. They may notice the change in temperature, but it is unlikely they will exhibit any unusual behaviour.

The eclipse can be more unsettling for birds. The dimming of the sky can mimic behaviour at dusk and during early storm formation, so some birds may demonstrate a wind-down behaviour and there may be less activity in the sky during the peak eclipse. Once the sky returns to normal, so does their behaviour.

If you are purchasing eclipse glasses, please make sure they meet these criteria. For additional information about the eclipse please see:
https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/safety/

For a list of approved solar-viewing goggles please see:

https://eclipse.aas.org/eye-safety/viewers-filters

It is not safe to watch the eclipse through the lens of your smartphone - it can damage both your phone camera and your eyes. Try this instead:

Safe watching our friends!

🐶and I went to our first trial today and came back with a first and a second place! This has been a 2.5 year journey so far since we first started training. Hard work and dedication does pay off. We earned 2 of 3 legs for Novice Rally scoring 99/100 in each run. It was a great day with a great dog. Happy Easter 🐣

Sometimes a little extra outdoor time is necessary. Lots of sniffing, running, exploring on a long line can be fun and so important for training. Remember dogs don’t always care what the weather is doing, they are just happy to be outside.

Happy first birthday Biscuit!! This cutie just turned one on Sunday, 3 days after mine birthday! I hope he go spoiled with cookies, play and pets!!

Today I was reminded that with a little drive we can accomplish our goals. 56:49 mins I completed 8.76km run! More than I expected…especially after eating all that cake last night. One year older & last day of the march break to enjoy with the kids and dogs❤️🐶🐈‍⬛🐓

Wake up and Kick Ass!! This is something we try to do in all aspects of life. Many of you don’t know that I have taken up a new skill…running. It has been amazing, hard and even ugly at times. There are so many similarities to dog training; progress and progress and regression, talk yourself into it and out of it….just to name a few. Today was a little harder but I still meet my goal 40 minutes, 6.42km. Goal achieved today, off to kick some more 🫏

Guess the dog breeds!! Both of these handsome breeds are not always the most common to see. Lucky for me, I got to work with both of them in the same day!! Tell me what you think, I’ll confirm the breeds tomorrow.
