The Weekend And Today

I've made a conscious decision not to look at the memories page today; to be honest, it wasn't too hard, as I had another morning call out to Tremadog! Of course I've thought of Kaiah, it's impossible to forget when there is so much to remember. 

Having done what needed doing at Mum's I went for a 30 min walk, to get back in time to play tea lady and waitress to her guests! 

Yesterday wasn't the best of starts to the day, Owen cancelled, and I had to face a drive on my own to Junct 10 of the M6. I felt so lost and lonely and considered turning back numerous times before hitting the A55, but once on it, I told myself it was too late to change my mind. Drives to shows are usually fun, part of the excitement of the day, but yesterday I was initially stressed and tearful. The situation with Mum, Steve and the anniversary were on my mind, but I'd also had two nights of nightmares which included the green-eyed monster laughing at me and at Beti. I told Steve and he asked, 'Well, why are you dreaming about her?' Hell, I wish I knew, as I've said before, it's not choice she just breaks into my dreams! Anyway, as I said, I hit the A55, put Ed on and focus on "My Peoples," my dogs and my happy place. 

I saw the catalouge and knew Orin would not win, sometimes the reputation of a dog precedes it, and there's no getting past it. But if I were asked, 'Which one would you like to take home?' well, my answer would honestly be, my own ... enough said! Beti is not quite in coat, but I was happy with her in the class, though I have a feeling Sarah was pissed with me at the end of the class. Ah well! 

On the drive home I was in a better headspace, and with loud music and sunshine, I seemed to be home in good time. When I got home, I immediately noticed that Steve was struggling, and then came the story. Zeus had gone between his legs, and Steve had gone over. Zeus had then gone over to see what Steve was doing on the floor and headbutted him, in the process of all of this, his stick had got caught in the lead and ended up on the other side of the garden, making it initially impossible for him to get up. Ok other than stiffness and more aches than normal, no harm done! 

I know that when people bring home a dog, they don't ever think of rehoming it, but I wish they would consider the safety of the exercises they teach them. Why do so many people teach these dogs to weave through their legs? Such a stupid thing to teach a dog to do!
