Family and Friends

I had a great weekend catching up with family and friends. Had breakfast with a long-time friend of mine, Kathy. We only see each other a couple of times a year but we always pick up where we left off. Sadly, a friend of ours was unable to attend due to the death of a family member.

I went to another friend's house to get some dog training in. Terry lives about an hour and a half away from me so we rarely get a chance to get together but we always have a blast. I worked 2 of my dogs and helped her with one of hers - I was quite tired afterwards but it was such a good tired compared to the exhaustion I had been feeling from the stupid virus I couldn't kick! The sessions were great for both of my boys, in particular, Gusto. He dropped too many bars - taking off too early or just generally blasting around more excited than normal. He did learn that dropping bars is unacceptable behavior - I'm afraid this is a forever lesson with this boy.

Then Greg and I took Devin to Harrisburg to ride the riverboat with my Brother and his family. I haven't been on the boat for at least a decade. It was a nice experience for the kids. Afterwards, pizza at my Parent's house.

I did very little dog training and focused on my family and friends. Trying to maintain a balanced life when you tend to be obsessive is quite a difficult task but a necessary one. One of my main goals in life is to be able to look back in my golden years and have no regrets.
