Beginning Again with Ben

It was the last beautiful day of the year I think. It’s supposed to do nothing but colder from here on out through the weekend. Good thing I have a four day weekend coming up. How lucky am I?

The pups have been great! I worked with Ben last night before dinner time on some basic obedience. He is learning “stay” from the “down” position and allowing me to walk away. He did really, really well. We also worked on “front” and random “sits” and “downs”. We worked just a few minutes but he tried his hardest and wants to do his best.

The two of them slept peacefully in the living room last night while I slept in bed. It was awesome sleep and they kept each other company so I didn’t feel bad. This morning I was so refreshed from three good nights of sleep that I actually went out running. I even did some weight training last night too. Whew. It’s amazing what a positive attitude can change!

The weekend is coming up! Yippee!! I haven’t been to a movie in ages so I think I’m going to do that, Body of Lies maybe, or Apaloosa, not sure which. I also have the Wisconsin Dog Fair on Sunday, so that will keep me busy! I’d also like to catch up with some friends I haven’t seen and I actually have some work stuff that REALLY needs to get done.

Nothing else too exciting. I’ve read the first few chapters of “Eclipse” and I’m so happy that I went and bought the book. I went to Stephenie Meyer’s website yesterday to see what else she had on the horizon and it looks like by the time I finish her currently published books there should be another one out there for me to read! Woot!!
