So.... I need a break (maybe temporary, maybe permanent) from FB. I'm leaving this up for a few days before I go.

It's not just the ads I was complaining about in my previous post. It's the addictive, destructive nature of this and all soc med.

It's the constant spying on us by ALL big tech; trying to fit us into the neat little algorithm package - reducing us to nothing but consumers - at least that's what they hope, because it profits them.

In all honesty, the number of studies showing how incredibly destructive to our psyches all soc med is don't even matter. What matters is I've read the studies, AND I am experiencing the addiction and destruction and utter waste of time.

Does it connect me to many people I would never know without it? Yes.

Will I miss seeing friends' updates (especially my ever-so-dear puppy families)? Yes.

But there many, many other ways to contact me (and those you love) than this atrocious platform.

I will keep messenger around for a while, but may eventually move away from there, as well.

As someone who had one of the 4000+ who was bold enough to be IN MY GARAGE this summer, 10 feet away from me, I'd beg my family and friends to read and understand this issue carefully before voting.

If you're struggling with only seeing behaviors you want your dog to STOP - this post is for you. Too often, we get hung up on looking ONLY at our dogs' leaves (behaviors) - without paying attention the the trunk of the tree (genetics) or the soil (environment, training, nutrition, etc.)

Huge Congrats to Front Range K9 Academy Trainer Meg Poinsett & Baja (Horsetooth Crotalus Enjoy) on adding YET ANOTHER title to this little dog's name AND a National 'First' time achievement, along with being the second of only 2 whippets worldwide to hold the APA Star title!

When we say our whippets are versatile (and that trainer Meg 'does ALL the things' with Baja), we're not kidding! Baja lure courses, races, does flyball, weight pull, and has dabbled in barnhunt, and is working toward her first Rally title. Go Team Horsetooth!!!

Introducing ‘Horsetooth Crotalus Enyo FCH STAR’!

Demo Dog, Baja is the FIRST Whippet in the United States to earn her American Pulling Alliance (APA) STAR Title! She is one out of two Whippets to have earned it in the World! 🥹😳

So, so unbelievably proud of her! I am LOVING the versatility of this girl!

What started out as just a sport to condition her & keep her fit for racing/lure coursing has turned into a sport that she loves to do! I am looking forward to seeing where she goes with Weight Pull.

[FCH: ASFA Field Champion - lure coursing]
