Been a while...

Not sure why, but I just wasn't into blogging for a while. Guess I got kinda busy!

At the moment, I am in the process of scheduling over 200 volunteers for the Cynosport World Games to be held in Scottsdale. What's a Cynosport you may ask...? It's "dog sport" in greek (I think!). Basically, this is the USDAA Dog Agility World championshps combined with other dog sports such as flyball, disc dogs, splash dogs, herding, lure coursing, etc. There's over 1,000 dogs entered in agility alone, so it's a HUGE event.

Jam and I are also running in this event! We qualified on a Team at our show in Bermuda, so me and Jam, Jane and Tizzy and Rose and Kelly are "Two Tollers Having a Tizzy!" I'm doing it more for the fun of it rather than to be serious!

Speaking of Jam...she earned her Advanced Agility Degree (AAD) and is now in all Masters classes!!! She has only been in 6 USDAA shows, so I'm pretty proud of my baby puppy!!

The girls are doing well. Dani is doing great in school! Her teacher told us she's ready for 1st grade! We'll most likely put her in 1st grade the next school year, though we'll keep tabs on her progress throughout this year. She's still somewhat of a talker, but is doing better at controlling it!

Erin is a devil...Plain and simple! She can be a cute little imp one moment, then put on the devil horns the next. She's also doing well academically, but needs to work on her social skills. We're going to start working on that in earnest and soon!

Job-wise, I found out in Sept. that my position will be eliminated March 4! It's actually quite a blessing as I am not really happy here. Haven't been for a while. I've been bullied by a co-worker for about 1.5 years now so to be away from her will do me good! I've decided that Technical Writing is NOT my bag, rather I'd like to do training instead. I sat with a person who hires consultants for training and I'm hoping to make something work there. I've also started to teach an agility class one night a week. We'll see how it all pans out.

Jeff is in budget-hell at Freescale rigth now. Hopefully it will all end soon!

That's it in a nutshell. We're prepping for Halloween...and the World Champs. The Champs start on Halloween so I will be VERY busy!!
