Well a couple weeks have gone by. Busy weeks. Cleaning up from the sale. Had some trees cleaned up a bit so we had lots of wood to take care of. Cleaning up crap around the house. Took some stuff over to a friends house that she wanted, so its been go go go. I have been putting on 10-15,000 steps a day which is 5-7 miles a day. One day went over 17. Losing a tiny bit of weight. 8 lbs so far, but barely noticeable by others.
Last weekend our agility club had a trial in oak harbor. So we had the camper up there and did our jobs to make it a success. Think we lost money tho. Then when we were cleaning up on Sun. I took a giant face plant into the dirt. Face first, no hands out to stop me, no knees bent, nothing, plop!! Ground dirt in my glasses and grass and bent the nose pieces flat. Now mind you I had been in the ring 4x over the weekend and never even tripped or anything. In fact, Iris did so well on Sun she Q'd in both jumpers and standard preferred. I think i broke it, or bruised it terrible as i did have some swelling and a little discoloration and the next day, man did my face burn. But its better now.
The weekend before last we went to lynden to a draft trial sponsored by the Bernese Club and Iris obtained her draft title novice on Sun. Seems sun is her good day. She did great. Its a tough test with an obedience part, a manuevering part, and a 1/2 mile haul with weight over mixed terrain. She was such a trooper that everyone was in tears of happiness on sun when we finished, even the judge. It was pretty cool. we felt like celebrities. The club loves seeing off breeds complete them. They are such a great bunch of people. There was a bulldog Gabe there (who has his own website he is such a celebrity) and a parson terrier, both who also obtained their titles. Now to do it 4 more times and she will have her advanced title. We still have other venues we can compete in for draft titles and canadian clubs so its a fun thing to do and she is learning to like it more herself. Tough little shit she is.
Jeff had a couple weeks vacation. One he went to Vegas and one he spent a few days with us. He went with us to the fairs as we always have a good time at fairs so we went to the state fair. Long day. Then he came and camped with us in Oak Harbor. We had lots of time to visit and such so it was really good. I do so enjoy his company and we have so much fun together. Who would have ever thought it was possible years ago.
