Calm down

I feel like I've been so intense, especially this past few weeks. I've noticed I'm crabby, critical and cynical. It's tiring. I've noticed so many people in dog agility have lost weight and look healthy. Not me. I'm heading in the other direction. I'm struggling to feel the littlest hint of getting on that bandwagon. I know the benefits would be huge. What IS the hangup now?

I'm a little bit sad that it's going to take so long for Chui to be able to cope with agility trials. I even have to wonder if he ever will. I also think if I got healthier, we could both do better. I don't feel like giving up. But I feel like slowing down and letting things simmer. Maybe I'll move my focus to tracking sooner than planned, turn agility on low... not stop, just keep it simple.

Mozzie - He's like a little toy to me. I like him, I think he's cute. I don't think he is sure of me, but he certainly does like me. He is another thing I'm just not sure of, not sure what is going on. I'm not getting up any desire to be training him. I feel there are many missed opportunities, yet I'm sure I really care. But I do fear he's bored and feels like a "nothing" here. I need to turn this around.

Katche - Weaves... Do I have the patience to work with him? It takes a lot!
