The List... 2014

2013 was a pretty good year for us here. Some of my list goals were met, while others were put aside or not accomplished for various reasons. I did complete many of the goals that were important to me. Finishing Seeker's MACH and Piper's LAA Bronze, as well as Cynosport 2013, were the major ones. I need to try harder to accomplish everything on my list this year. Here we go... in no particular order...

1. Finish C-ATCHs on both boys.

2. Finish Seeker's MACH 2.

3. Finish Seeker's Bronze ADCH and LAA Bronze.

4. Finish ATCH II on both boys.

5. Work on Piper's RAE and Seeker's RA and RE.

6. Go to the BCSA National Specialty.

7. Do more nosework with Ceilidh.

8. Have Seeker ready and trialing on sheep by June, if not sooner. Attend a few sheep clinics.

9. Work with Gem on her terms, help her to learn to be more comfortable in her own skin.

10. Grow my training business because I AM an EXCELLENT instructor and I have so much to offer owners and their dogs.

11. Get more active, work on my flexibility and speed, work on bettering my nutrition and lose 30 pounds.

12. Learn to reduce my high stress levels because it is slowly killing me.

13. Spend more time individually with each dog.

14. Finally get MY Seeker puppy.

15. Spend more time enjoying the simple things by slowing down.

I also plan on spending more quality time with my hubby, doing things he likes, rather than always dragging him to my dog stuff. Good thing he loves me anyway.

I hope that your 2014 brings you all the peace, love and prosperity that you wish! Happy New Year and best wishes in 2014 in all that you do!!
