Here’s how the pump is making my life better.<\/p>\n
This weekend I competed in dog agility. Dog agility is a sport for people who like animals with too much time on their hands and not a lot of money — if you have money you do steeplechase or something similar. <\/p>\n
It’s an obstacle course for handlers and dogs. They both have to run and the handler tells the dog which direction to go. Each course is different.<\/p>\n
This weekend, we ran 4 courses. Marcie and I took 1st place each time we ran. Part of the reason we took so many firsts, is that we were only competing with one other dog, but we did make a perfect score on one run, ran two runs clean but slow, and she only made one mistake on one run.<\/p>\n
The key to dog agility is to be fast enough as a handler that you are in place to show the dog where to turn, where to jump, or what type of obstacle you take.<\/p>\n
We train every Thursday night that we can — we try hard not to miss.<\/p>\n
Being on the pump is letting me lose weight, letting me exercise, and letting me get faster so I can be where my dog needs me.<\/p>\n
She’s ALSO a very good dog — which means I’m a pretty good trainer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
