Yearly Goals...

Can we just skip tomorrow? Honestly I really wish we could, minus the fact that I get to train. I should probably pack, hand in my homework, groom Jenna, fiddle with my new ipod, empty photos/film off the cameras, etc. Okay maybe I need tomorrow. But the whole waking up, getting ready, and going to school thing is getting old. Just sayin. Plus my friends are oblivious to my dog life. Well not true, they know I am obsessed and weird. Other than that, nothing. The pressure, the athleticism, the training, the connection, the friends, the sport, it all confuses them. Suppose that is one reason I am so excited for Nationals! A whole week devoted to the dogs, competition, and spending time with agility friends.

Feels like the start of the year, I know its march, almost april, but really Nationals starts my year. Sets in place everything we do and plan for until the next nationals. Sure some goals are set in stone, like getting Mz into excellent B. But others may change, particularly the ones in regards to Jenna’s future. I would be lying if I said I didn’t want to make finals, but that isn’t my only goal for this weekend. I want 3 clean rounds, one after the other. That’s all on me; I know Jenna can do it. But I have to keep my head, which is another goal. Smooth runs, fast times, consistency in handling etc. all made the list. On the top is, of course, have fun and avoid shopping. Unless of course unfortunate events occur in that case, rack up the credit debit.

 

I was also pressured into getting a Flickr account today, so far love it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/agilityandbeyond
