It's no coincidence that a dog is a man's best friend; they're more faithful than most other animals, and more faithful than many people.

What My Dog Taught Me About Forgiveness
I never used to believe in second chances. Not really. In my world, mistakes came with permanent consequences. If someone hurt me, I held onto that pain like a badge—proof that I had been wronged, that I didn’t deserve it, and that they didn’t deserve me. Forgiveness? That was for the naive. For people who didn’t know better. Or maybe, for people who hadn’t been hurt deeply enough.

Building a Dog Agility Course
I used to love doing agility with Beau. Every so often, when the agility bug hits, I check out locally posted premium lists and run through my many reasons that I can't enter: I can't afford it, Badger doesn't have weaves, I can't afford it, it's too far to travel and get back to milk goats, I can't afford it, I really don't feel like someone playing "embarrass the human" again so soon . . . However, in 2023, I talked myself into two "For Exhibition Only" entries for Badger at an agility trial in Louisiana, just a couple of hours away. Those entries revealed all the flaws he had that needed correcting before we trialed for real--and I do mean ALL the flaws. "Embarrass the human?" No. Let's true "humiliate the human so badly that she doubts all of her skill as a dog trainer!" But being as resilient (stubborn/gullible/pathetic) as I am, I resolved to work harder on his focus and his weave poles and put away the idea of competing for a while.

Personal Space is a Human Construct
You’re trying to work. Or eat. Or, God forbid, use the bathroom in peace. But there they are—your dog, your furry little personal space invader, staring at you with the intensity of a Netflix documentary narrator: "And here we see the human, attempting to exist without canine supervision. How quaint."
