The dog with no trust

How bad do you want it?
Once again things have been going crazy, I've ended up placing both Audi and Cowboy. Both are doing extremely well and the families love the dogs. Of course, anyone who has placed a dog in a new home understands how heartbreaking it is. But that's not what this blog is about today, this blog is about passion, about all the things that you'll never be able to figure out using logic. Some people don't understand why I do the things I do, why I focus my life around my dogs, why I do anything and everything to make them happy. Vixy had a seizure early Sunday morning, I almost lost my best friend. I was terrified, but now I see everything in a new light. I realize that no matter what life throws at us we can triumph anything, me and my dogs. In this life people constantly seem to tell me only the strong survive, it's evolution right? But life isn't all about the strong, us underdogs, the ones that have come from behind, realize that all life takes is passion. Sometimes we lose ourselves, trying to solve every little problem, trying to make sense of everything, trying to make sense of life, but in life, things don't always add up. We have to learn that we can't question everything that sometimes we just have to accept something as it is. We have to welcome it into our lives. Not everything is about logic. I've always been the person to ask "What if?" I asked myself on Sunday morning "What if I had just lost her? What if she had died?" and then I looked at her and I realized, the 'what if's' aren't important. They aren't reality, it's not what happened, so now I find myself in situations (even within these past few days) where I'll be about to question something and I just say to myself "No what if's this time, just accept it, just do it, you're strong enough". When I look at life, when I think passion, when I think about anything I love, there's always that one question that anybody should ask themselves "How bad do I really want it?" That's how I look at the things I love, how can you ever get better if you have no kind of passion for it, if you have no desire to become better, without that desire, that passion, you'll never become better, you'll never be all that you can be. When I think about my dreams, my goals, everything I want for myself in the future, I know that if I want it bad enough, if I have enough passion, I can have and do anything I want. When you see someone who has failed to achieve their goals, their dreams, just remember that they could have it, just like you can, they just didn't want it bad enough. So don't waste time complaining, whining that you can't do it, because you can do it, you can do anything you want to do, of course in life there will always be consequences but all you need to ask yourself is how bad you want it.

Lots of News!!
Not only has it been forever since I updated (mostly cause I'm overly lazy) but I have a crazy amount of news. Chloe and Vixy's pups both grew up wonderfully, I decided to keep Chloe's pups, Audi. Audi is honestly the most well-behaved dog I've ever own, and I know she's going to give her momma a run for her money when it comes to agility. Although I have a great bond with her mom and my other dogs, I have to admit that I have the strongest bond with Audi, possibly because she's only ever lived with me, and I'm the one who raised her, but she's absolutely perfect on so many levels.
Now, I know how many times I've been looking at pups (whom are not dachshunds) BUT it's finally happened!!!!! I want to proudly introduce my little Miniature Australian Shepherd pup, Cowboy. He's the most annoying ball of fluff I've ever met, and I absolutely love him!! I haven't started training with him other than a few manners, since he's the most obnoxious little crap head ever, and likes to just be a brat. But again, I love him to death, so I just get over it, it's impossible to stay mad at him. He loves to lay in the kitchen and sleep on the tile floor where it's nice and cool, I just can't wait to start some real training with him.
It's finally starting to cool off here in Texas and we'll finally be able to do some real agility, Liberty and Rockit are old enough to start some agility (oooo real excited!!!! (: ) and the babies will all be learning some real solid foundation techniques. I have so much to teach them before they get to start agility. School has been kicking my butt lately and I feel like I'm never around and when I am I'm so overly busy, things are constantly busy in my little world! Sometimes I seriously just need a break from most the world and will go spend a night out with just little Audi girl, or one of the other dogs. I hope all is well with everyone else!
Much Love,

Wow it's been a while

Baby don't follow their lead ; Who you are is not up to them ♥
Mmmmm here they come ; just getting up for the let down ; I'm here to say that you're the star you want to be ; One day this'll make you proud ~ Cartel
Yeah, they're kinda amazing. Anyway, I've had an INSANELY hard week, between drama, heartache, pain, and just plain hell. I've learned quite a few things though, I'll always have my friends there by my side to help me get past it, and when that isn't enough? I have my girls ♥ I honestly have to say my friends have been absolutely amazing this past week, so thanks to everyone who was there for me, and helped me smile a little more. I'm 90% sure I wouldn't have made it through this past week without my friends or the dogs, it's just been way to much for me to even process on my own. Sometimes people are a waste of time, so we have to move on and find new people, even if moving on hurts. They say sometimes, you're better off not knowing, and I guess in some situations that's 100% true, but in other cases, not knowing only causes problems and pain. Life's been throwing lots of obstacles at me lately, and it's been really tough to overcome a lot of those obstacles, but I know if I fall or stumble, I have friends ready to help me right back up on to my feet. Speaking of feet I painted my toe nails for the first time since Christmas! I figure since it's warm out and I walk around in either open-toe shoes or without shoes for most of the summer, I should probably make them look kinda decent. Speaking of summer, Texas is kinda unsure which direction it wants to go in,
I'll go to bed and it'll be in the high 60's or low 70's and then wake up and its all like 40 degrees out or somethin, like dude, not chill (actually its very chilly!) but its ok because it stays warm during the day. It's almost time for me to finish my junior year, sad face! I have state testing for like 3 days next week, so annoying! Chloe's focus and drive lately has really made me happy too, since it's almost time for our debut. I've also started to test the waters with teaching Chance to do agility, you see chance is one of he oldest dogs we own, being 6 1/2 almost 7 (he'll be 7 in August!), so if we do compete, which I think we will, I want to keep him at no higher then 18" even though his jump height should be 22". Anyway, Pearl has been really good, kinda spoiled lately. She's always in the house, because she doesn't like the Texas sun (kinda don't blame her). I got my term paper back in English, made an 87 which I guess is ok, but I would've liked those 3 more points to make an A, since I worked so hard on it, but oh well! I've started really looking into college, which I'm kinda scared about, I don't want to graduate high school!!!!!! Hmph, this is kind of upsetting, but it must be done. I kind of really can't wait for summer, I usually hate summer, but this year I'm extremely excited for some reason, maybe it's just because in June I have the debut, and my
17th birthday, not to mention my grandmother is coming for a visit. So much to think about! My head can't seem to process all the information I've been feeding it lately, so yeah it kinda sucks. On a brighter note, I'm breeding Vixy to Jericho, I absolutely LOVE Vixy puppies! <3 So I'm like really, really, really excited for that. I've also been super focused on everything I do, I tend to do that when I'm upset, but tomorrow I'm going to a party, I can't wait to just relax and take my mind off the worries of life for a few hours. Well, I'll update soon! Bye!

Hey look a trial!
That is correct! Chloe's debut is officially set! June 16 & 17 (right before my 17th birthday) Chloe is finally getting to debut. USDAA holds a lot of trials close by, which I was unaware of. So instead of driving the 4-6 hours to a CPE trial we'll be driving 1 1/2 to a USDAA trial, which is also 4 months earlier then I had planned for her to debut (it was supposed to be in October). But either way I think we're ready (or at least she is LOL I'm always a ball of nerves) hopefully we'll rock this debut. We're gonna show the world that dachshunds can be pretty boss at whatever they do (: Sorry for the short post just thought I'd update y'all! Happy Easter!!!

When blue skies fade to grey don't tell me your passion's fading away.....
So, today was an eventful day. Not sure how else to explain it. We've had tornados all day, therefore I was at school for an extra hour today. Sitting in duck & cover I really started to think, if I died right now, would I be proud of my life? I guess in a way I would but at the same time I thought to myself, why do I do agility? What about it makes me keep doing it? I couldn't honestly come up with anything other then it makes me smile, it helps me relax. Agility is my thing, it my sport, I don't have a giant group of team members I can't stand. I have a single teammate, and we work together to do something beautiful. It's a mental thing I guess, more emotional than physical. Working side by side with your dog, you realize something, what if this was your last time to ever see them? Your best friend, your partner, your teammate, your life. What if it was all gone in an instant? Then what? I have every intention of continuing on with agility, and when people say I'll we'll never make it we'll smile and say "Watch us" because even if we're not the best, even if we're not earning titles & ribbons, we're winners, because we have eachother. So I have no intentions of letting this passion fade with the blue skies, my passion is going to soar.
