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!



Jericho(:



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.

It's only April? Here comes the heat & Spring Cleaning

It's only April and we're already in the high 80's here in Texas, kinda crazy huh? Me & Chloe are only practicing agility real early in the morning so that we can keep cool. Its almost time to set the pools up for the dogs, it's going to be Liberty's first summer, and it looks like its going to be a hot one at that. Thankfully we got some rain so the ponds & creeks aren't dried up, if we're lucky we won't have another dry summer, that definitely wouldn't be good. Pearl is already sticking inside, it's simply just to sunny for her and being almost bald she doesn't like any kind of heat. All 3 long coated girls prefer to be outside though, laying in the shade and grass. Libby's training is coming along really well, she's super smart, I want to eventually get her into agility and possibly flyball, so we'll se how that goes. Pearl stuck around while I cleaned the bedroom today (the bedroom as I don't have my own bedroom, the dogs own more of it then I do) though she prefer to just sit on the bed and watch me. I hope to have a better paying job soon so that I can switch all the girls over to Orijen, instead of Pedigree, I'll be getting my permit some time this week, and hopefully a job within a month, first pay is going to get them their first bag of Orijen. Anyway, hope everyone is enjoying this nice weather!
