So, three new litters are coming from my favorite breeder out in California. I mentioned her in a previous entry along with my goal to one day own such a dog and eventually train it to be awesome. I made that goal at the end of November and now it is mid June, which means its been about six months since I originally set this goal. I still want to achieve that goal, but things are... slow going.

Things I Have Done to Achieve My Goal:

� Signed up to volunteer at dog-related volunteer organizations
- DMK rehoming doesn't need any more volunteers.
- Pets for Vets: As I have little to no training experience, I am probably going to be secretary or media manager.
- Denver Animal Shelter: Hasn't contacted me... yet.

� I've been working on school and work (which is actually a bigger deal than it looks like on this list).
- Which will get me a job > get me more money >
- Pay for the dog
- Pay for a backyard for my dog
- Pay for food
- Pay for dog training lessons
- Pay for vet bills.

� Reading and watching dog training books/videos

� Training my sister's dog whenever she comes over (sorry, R?)

� Volunteering to petsit (again, just R's dog)


As you can see, I'm a little low on ideas, or at least low on stamina. I used to have a pair of gerbils that would stand at the bottom of the tank and jump straight off the ground, smashing their little noggins against the top of the tank in the vain hope of finally jostling off the lid and getting out of there. I feel like those gerbils.

PS: Oh! I almost forgot. The whole goal thing wasn't a complete loss (well, it was and it wasn't). I lost 20 lbs since November! I'm just a bit shy of my 138 lbs goal weight, I walk and jog almost every day, I've started a sort of regular frisbee throwing get together and my throw has mightily improved!
