sometimes when i feel like my life is falling apart i’ll rewatch teen wolf and it’s like. wow this didn’t help at all 🥰

My last post has quite a few typos and I was totally going to edit those, fix it up a tiny bit, but then I thought no man don't. That is how tired and busy you get, I don't even have my class pups right now and I'm already having trouble typing sentences. This is day two, lol. I cannot stress how much fun I'm having and how cool everyone is.  CLAAAASSS, our classes are taught by Tom and/or Kari and Dave mostly. The main instructors. Today started in the STB with health/breeds/temperament/disposition/stability/etc. at 9am and went on until almost 3pm (with breaks/lunch) where we then moved into the NTB to watch/learn/talk about testing puppies. Dave and Kari brought in a few Malinois puppies and demonstrated, then proceeded to test a few of the pups students brought with them to use for the course (one Lab, a Dutchie & another Malinois from the same litter tested), all of which passed. Bosses annnnd yeah, you're free! I just got back from the NTB with Hades, we're tired out. Watched the club's protection training, met some online friends and their dogs, shot the breeze, talked foreign breeders, talked local, talked talked watched and talked. Trained Hades, let a roommate handle and play with Hades. Took a break, showed Hades the agility tunnel (his new fav thing I think), and hung out with another pro student with his personal dog, a male Malinois a little over a year old. Nice dog, listens great and sociable, but a little excited at first when he enters the building and sees another dog working! Once he gets in the flow of things that should tone down considerably I'm sure, he is a gorgeous pup. One of the other Instructors brought out his pet Golden, Sammy, and played around while we were in there. It's really fun hanging out with other dog trainers, and this place is dog trainer paradise. No one will touch your dog, pay attention to your dog, feed your dog, let their dogs run up to yours, leave poop, etc. If someone talks to me they ignore Hades completely and later ask if it's alright if they can touch him or whatever, I usually say yes haha. I'm just thrilled about the general coolness around here, I've seen people outright say no, he will bite you or no I'm working him, no not right now, no not ever and not one person takes it personal or pulls the infamous "all dogs love me" card. The masters just started around when we did, and they're very cool nice helpful people. They're not allowed to tell you about the course, not anything you haven't already been told by one of the Instructors or anything past the level you're at ("go ask Tom/Kari/Dave" is the response!) but the advice, pointers, breeder talk and miscellaneous is priceless. I ADORE that Tom is going to be teaching most of the professionals classes, because it has only been two days and I've learned so much from him, he's an awesome guy. Easy going, easy to talk to, easy to approach, casual, and an endless pit of knowledge it's ridiculous.  Tomorrow I have to make it to a store, I need a GPS badly, since mine decided to stop working...it was on my Nexus and it refuses to give me directions. It was an app and it'll show your blue trail of a route, but past that...you're on your own. Pfft. I should be picking up Skids sometime next week and I have no idea how to get there so it's important!  I'm going to be online here for a little bit, got an episode of TW to watch before bed, but goodnight my friends. Maybe once I get a good collection of notes, I'll put together something neat for the blog :)
