managing time!

I think things are settling down, or at least it is down to a dull roar.
I am loving school and am studying like mad. Anyone else out there middle age going back to school? It is quite an adventure to say the least.
The biggest concern I have is that my dogs do not lose the quality time they've always have had.
So I did an anxious dance for a little bit, but am feeling a bit calmer about everything.
I make sure that they have good edible bones for them and legal chews. So legal chews are chews that "I" have made a decision are safe for my dogs. Everyone needs to do their homework and decide what is safe. Easy to say that rope toys, stuffed toys, and the like are not safe for unsupervised play.
Unsupervised would be with you back to your puppies.
I actually had Friday off, finished first quater, and I got to sleep in and just hang out. The oddest thing happened in the morning when I was just sitting and reading. The dogs all laid down and slept. Not such a big deal with the older dogs, but I am talking Yippee and Cowboy!
Yip is so busy that I never thought the day would come when she would just lay there and chill. She was great. Starting to grow up a bit I'd say.
I am starting more formal training with Yip now agility and obed. She is such fun to work!
Cowboy is my husband's dog, but I work him too. He is that easy going.
My year of puppies is closing as they are becoming adults. I am so thrilled with them. Their temperments are delightful, very aussie-ish, and they are pretty to look at.

I was just looking at photos of your 5 aussies and the puppies were so cute and adorable and they STILL are. I'm glad to hear they have good temperaments too. You helped create that and I know it takes a lot of work. Well done, Noel!
