Too much stuff

I've been doing an inventory of all the junk I have. There are containers of stuff in the basement that I never look at, stuff on shelves that never get touched or used. The whole house is full of stuff I don't need or appreciate. So I'm having an estate sale on December 13th to get rid of as much stuff as I can and I can hardly wait. It will be a relief to be free of all the clutter.
Don't get me wrong, I have some really cool stuff, but I don't want it anymore. So come along and check it out. Certainly there are things which will make excellent Christmas presents for those special people with discriminating taste!

No puppies at this house




I haven't mentioned that the puppies died...actually all but one was reabsorbed and the one who wasn't grew too big to pass out the birth canal in time, so he died in the process. It was very, very sad to watch Bella carry Beanie Babies around and count them in her nest. That's what kind of damage stress can do I guess.
So I decided that I should pay more attention to the dogs I have on hand and not worry about any forthcoming. We've really been spending some quality and quantity time training...in particular, getting Easy. But Bella has her happy wiggle butt back and life goes on...thank God for small favors eh?

To blog or jog?

I was talking to a client about blogging the other day and they advised that it should be a regular, if not daily habit. I'm thinkin it would be easier to get in the habit of bloggin than it would be to get in the habit of exercising...which I don't do also.
I am on the computer just about every day though, so it makes sense...a little challenging is my mind set...I want to be off the computer quickly and doing something with the dogs or taking care of my own, ever increasing body. Being in front of the computer is a little more productive than being in front of the TV, but feels just as lazy to me.
Anyway, sounds like a change in mind set is in order, so I'm going to apply that energy to exercise and see how that goes...if I falter, I can always resort to blogging, eh?

Canine Mutiny

I haven't mentioned the new radio show, Bella's pregnancy, or the video training we've started. The most exciting thing right now is the litter of puppies who will be arriving any day now. I'll post the video of the birth and the training processes with the pups through their development! I can hardly wait...but in the mean time, catch the new show at www.blogtalkradio.com/canine-mutiny and let us know what you think...

Canine Mutiny

So there has been lots coming down and one big thing we got goin on is an online radio show called:

Canine Mutiny at www.blogtalkradio.com

We'll be broadcasting Wednesday nights at 7:30 but you can listen in at your convenience. The premier show is September 10th and we're excited all over for the bell to ring eh?

Another thing headed this way is the DVD production, but we can wait for those details and focus on the radio show for now...it's so cool though, really it's cool!

A whole new life

So here it is July and I still haven't caught my breath this year. Just a quick synopsis:



  1. In January the main sewage line at the house had to be replaced to the tune of $9,000...at the same time I was setting up and manning a booth at the Mart to sell Canny Collars.


  2. In February my mother was diagnosed with Diabetes and Stage 4 Lung Cancer and started treatment.


  3. In June my dad died suddenly.


  4. I was fired (laid off) from a part time job I had been working for almost 20 years.


  5. Mom died a few days ago.


On so many levels, in so many ways, this year has prompted a rebirth. I have been neither graceful nor elegant as I move through this transition time. I have stumbled and groped through the whole thing. I am however, grateful for the countless opportunities. I am grateful for my clients who have been incredibly understanding, considerate and supportive! I am grateful to have the most amazing friends in the universe! And I am overwhelmingly grateful to be alive and have this opportunity to move forward unemcumbered by mistaken beliefs, inaccurate judgements and wounds from the past.



This is a dramatically new life and I'm both excited and a little scared, but certainly ready to begin again with vigor, this thing called life. I look forward to meeting it head on and with enthusiasm. Lighter, brighter and more powerful...I hope to see you along the way!
