COVID Phase 2 at Valkyrie

The Provincial Government has published its Restart Plan for re-opening businesses in our province and has scheduled the beginning of Phase 2 for Tuesday, May 19th. Under the plan, sports and recreation facilities are being allowed to re-open “under enhanced protocols”. Specifically, we have to take appropriate, effective measures to limit the spread of COVID-19. Here’s how different measures…

got one obstacle out of the way and now onto another. guess that’s just how school is.

now its time to finish my art history homework. the teacher’s really nice and extended the due date to wednesday, but i want to finish it today regardless.

i’ve just got to finish two more discussions today and i’ll get all my work done in time.

It’s not like it sounds lol. 

In Rally-O class we did a dog-swap so we could have a chance to see how our dogs worked with other people, and how it was to run other dogs. I got the, I think, 11 month old Golden? He was precious. And oh my gosh there is a benefit to having a larger dog isn’t there? His head is right at perfect treating/petting height! Also baby dogs are so fun and bouncy, and add on the fact that Goldens are always ecstatic to do whatever they’re doing, and it’s super fun. Anyway, I want a Golden Retriever. Or at least a puppy. lol. 

Haley worked really well for someone else, too! Surprised she wasn’t pulling too much, since she’s a puller, but she heeled nicely for them. Our instructor was like “see, you guys trained your dogs so well that you can hand them off and they still do it!” Nice to see. Also always nice to run other dogs. Kind of like window shopping! It’s like “oh, do I like the size of this dog? do I like the way this breed works?” In agility I remember watching people get frustrated if they ran Haley, because she’s too fast and will bark and jump at them the whole time. But in Rally-O she behaves! As long as you have food. She whined the entire time I worked the Golden, whose called Gambit, but totally forgot about me when someone else came over with food I guess!

Oh, also me and Haley had two really good mock-trial runs of our own. We apparently would have Qd. So, we could probably trial in Rally and do well. Definitely going to register for CARO and start looking for trials. 

My professor: what the fuck?

My professor: You're going to a doctor, right?

Me: yeah? But my gp can't do anything but pain management, and I can't see the specialist til October.
