Who knew Buddha was a dog trainer?

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.  

Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.  

Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your (religious) books.  

Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.  

Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.  

But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. 

 ~Buddha 

wisdom from our kitchen ...

fitting for agility too eh?

Worked on stay today with Sally - did she ever need it! Postively a quiver she could hard hold steady when a stick was thrown - she eventually settled and did some nice work.

serious sunday ...

Had a FANTABULOUS time at the Webb weekend - enjoyed working Brody and Sally very much and hanging out with agility people is always fun too. Big T came out to dinner with a bunch of us last night ~ what a sweet guy!

More on that later - I was surfing looking for a good title to label the seminar post and tripped across these beauties ... I like quotes as I believe I've mentioned before ...


You must have long term goals to keep you from being frustrated by short term failures. - Charles C. Noble

I need to develop some long term goals for my own sanity I think ... I'm not frustrated particularly though Sally can certainly push my buttons


Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground. - Theodore Roosevelt

Always been one of my favourites - gotta know where you've come from - but never be afraid to dream


Constant effort and frequent mistakes are the stepping stones to genius. - Elbert Hubbard

What an excellent reminder for me in life, not just agility (though you must know there is no just about agility in my life!)


I never worked a day in my life. It was all fun! - Thomas Edison

And while I have worked a couple of days I think Edison and I are pretty darn lucky!
