My Training Plan for Beau and Me This Year

Will Beau start looking like his dad Rhodium?

Will Beau start looking like his dad Rhodium?

I need to set some goals. Not to worry, I am just a simple amateur. But I want to get past this freewheeling stage. He is old enough to grow, to reach the next level. He may be tall, relatively weak in the hind quarters, this all will not get better until we seriously address the muscles there.  Read more

From Forward to Reverse, Oops

I get stuck in reverse

There I was with my big mouth going on about black and white and no shades of grey. Well, Beau turned very black and white as well. Going forward and forward and halt, no, let’s go in reverse. Duh?

Shape Up

The very lovable Fat Albert

I wish I were someone who spend the whole day eating chocolates or ice cream. Someone who would snack a lot. Or I wish I would drink a bottle of wine a day. Then I would know exactly where to cut all those extra calories. Unfortunately I am not a saint, nor am I the devil when it comes to eating or exercise. Read more

Dog Issues

Apartment

I have been “out of the air” for a few days as I have moved again. Granted I have moved a lot in my life, the last apartment I lived for nearly 12 years or so, so not a short time. Then a in-between place, a layover station, and now in a permanent apartment. Back to civilization. Read more
