Miss Sadie Mae goes independent!

Today was a big day for Miss Sadie Mae. Well, I think so anyway. This afternoon we went for a solo walk without her best buddy, and biggest distraction, Ziggy the husky. Up until now she has been following Zig's lead as we walked around the neighborhood. 

She's a fast learner. Of course she is, it's the border collie in her! No overpowering urge to pull me down the sidewalk. She's not that good with Ziggy lol. No almost running in the road. No chasing rabbits and squirrels. Defended my honor with a neighbor dog. 

The best part was crossing the street. She came to a full stop when asked, and then sat down on command. What a super bright girl she is! Progress is a good thing.

Lucky #13 for the 13th day of The Challenge on July 13

17 is my favorite number. I use it for all sorts of things. My favorite use is when I'm not being productive when I need to be. I just set my timer for 17 minutes and get to work, hitting reset each time it goes off. It's a little harder to chop it up than say 15 minutes. Also it just long enough I can get things accomplished (within reason off course). I'm very time aware when I use that system. Sure I'll take a day off from the pup talk to talk about numbers. LoL I do love numbers. I'm not a math nerd by any means as my old Algebra 2 teacher Mrs/ Peterson would have told you. I do love numbers though. There are number games to play in your head or on paper. Heck, I like to add numbers on license plates. I'm old school. I still add faster in my head than using a calculator. I'm a big fan of prime numbers too. The bigger the better, That's because we hardly see them. But like I said. 17 is my favorite. I like 3 and 13 too. Who knows why? What's yours...

Ring-around-the-Doggies We all fall down

Well, that was a little bit embarrassing and painful at the same time. We were out for a walk this afternoon and encountered a dog my dogs didn't like. At all. They're a pair! After much barking and jumping and pulling, They managed to get me wrapped up and dropped me. Luckily we were in a large field and not on pavement. No dogs were hurt in this production. That said, I'm not doing all that great. I feel like I've been in a rugby game. Twisted knee. Jammed up shoulder. Tomorrow I think we'll be walking individually so I can heal. If I'm able to walk LoL Right now I need to practice some self care! Until tomorrow my friends.
