Chained by love....

I don't think I have any dog post on my blog and I'm a dog trainer. I must say that this is the SADDEST most horrid thing I can imagine for a dog. It's mental and physical abuse by EVERY standard. My biggest wonder is...why have it? I have my dogs cause they bring something to me I can't get anywhere else. They want to please me and I want to please them as well....If I tied them up outside ya know what? ...they would still want to please me with all their beating heart and well...that just makes me really really sad. As a Dog Trainer I don't want to tell people if their dog should be in a crate/kennel or sleep in their bed...if they should allow it on their couch or to even let it eat from their plate...I am here to help them make what they WANT plausible and doable and ok....but this is never ok for me.... I get asked a thousand times a day at work... "where are are your 'tie outs' ...or I need a way to keep my dog on his chain..he keeps getting off his collar or harness...and in my head I think ...YOU GO DOG..GO! If you can't provide attention and needed exercise for a dog..don't have one. Your not doing the world a favor by "saving a dog" and keeping it tied out. If I must tell the truth...you make me sick...


Also...while I was typing this blog..I had head phones on with music and my 5 month old pup took a crap at the back door...hahahahahahahah...MY FAULT PEOPLE! I love her :) 

When I breathe?

So over my 43 years the main thing I have taken away from life so far is to breathe...life's not bad, it's actually good .I have had loads of tragedy...more than needed. When things go wrong or something makes me really angry, if I stop a second and take a breath and really think about what's important in my life...I can actually muster a giggle :) Relax people...life is a glorious gift, go with it..it's not always going to go as planned, in fact it may derail completely but it's still a gift!!!!!! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY 2012!
