I am not gonna lie -- it was a frustrating week. Including Bandit, who up until Friday I would have said was completely house trained, deciding to have an accident in our kitchen for no known reason, as he'd been out twice and done his business both times. I worried about a bladder infection, but … Continue reading Mountain climbers & Burpees: 7/25-31 Weekly Wrap

God bless animal rescuers: Runfessions July 2016
. . . and why I'm not cut out to be one. More on that later. I runfess that I do seem to vent about reCaptcha an awful lot. Maybe you just need young eyes to deal with that. Although my eyes have never been 20-20. Today I'm joining up with Marcia @ Marcia's Healthy Slice to … Continue reading God bless animal rescuers: Runfessions July 2016
5 Ways to Keep Going . . .
. . . When the Going Gets Tough I shared my admiration for runners who are able to quit on their planned training runs. Sounds weird, huh? But sometimes you really should, and I have real trouble with that. But sometimes you need to push through the bad runs, too. I'm pretty sure I've shared … Continue reading 5 Ways to Keep Going . . .
For to be free . . .: TOLT
. . . is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others. --Nelson Mandela Today I'm still Thinking Out Loud animals. I know, shocking right? It's so easy to get consumed with our own troubles. Lauren wrote a great blog post, Beating Running Burnout, that … Continue reading For to be free . . .: TOLT
What I raise a kerfuffle over
Kerfuffle: Disturbance, Fuss Origin and Etymology of kerfuffle: alteration of carfuffle, from Scots car- (probably from Scottish Gaelic cearr wrong, awkward) + fuffle to become disheveled First Known Use: 1946 I'm taking a slightly different spin on today's Wednesday Word and will just write about the things that cause me to raise a kerfuffle (fuss). Boy, don't you … Continue reading What I raise a kerfuffle over
A Day in the Life 2
What I Did/Ate Monday I gotta admit that I just didn't have the time/desire/heart to write a post for today. So I decided to take the "easy" route and just write about what I did yesterday. It wasn't quite a typical day in that I had to bring Lola to the vet (which I knew … Continue reading A Day in the Life 2
Light at the end of the tunnel?: 7/18-24 Weekly Wrap
The week started off rough, meeting with the trainer and Gizmo's sudden "illness" (read about it here), but ended on a high note when we finally got to have a rescue evaluate Bandit. It was another tough, draining week, but we have more of a routine going and we are hopeful that things will continue … Continue reading Light at the end of the tunnel?: 7/18-24 Weekly Wrap
You are not a number
I figure y'all need a break from all things doggie. I started writing this post before Bandit entered our lives, and I think it's a very important post: it is easy to define ourselves by numbers, but we are so much more than any number associated with us. It's free Friday this week's Friday Five … Continue reading You are not a number
I don’t recommend the stress diet: TOLT
Today I'm Thinking Out Loud about generalities and how much I hate them. If one more person says to me that little dogs are just nippy, I think I will scream. Little untrained dogs can be nippy, yes -- although it's still not a given. Or all the people saying "well, it's just the adjustment". Of course there is … Continue reading I don’t recommend the stress diet: TOLT
The opposite of visceral: Pragmatic
Pragmatic: of or relating to a practical point of view or practical considerations The Wednesday Words have really been on a roll for me lately. I consider myself to be an optimist, but I am also very pragmatic (or as I like to say, a realist). Oddly enough, while Mr. Judy tends towards pessimism in most … Continue reading The opposite of visceral: Pragmatic
