AWOL

I'm seriously remiss in updating my Blog! Oh the horrors. Where has the time gone? And why isn't it warm yet?!? Seriously, it feels like October instead of April. This is the winter that won't quit. I did notice after the rain this weekend that the grass is green now...isn't it weird how fast that happens? I've also noticed some buds starting to appear on bushes and trees. My day lillies and tulips are starting to come up more, too.

In other news, I've signed up to participate in the Winter Begone Duathlon on Sunday. I'm getting really nervous and wondering if I've lost my mind. This body isn't made for running so I'll be walking and running alternatively but mostly walking. The bike part didn't scare me until I heard about the route. I may be laid up after the event but by golly, I WILL finish!

In still more news, Murray and I had a great time at agility class last night. At the end of class, our instructor took us outside to work on the dog walk. Now, Murray had done this obstacle in the past but had grown fearful of it, and we hadn't been on it since. After trying to wrangle him across by the collar, I tried luring him more with the treats and placing them every few steps in his path. That worked much better! After a few tries, he was making it across with a jackpot reward at the bottom. Woohoo!! I was so proud of him! After class, Em and I took Frankie and Murray out to play disc and let them run around. Murray got the zoomies again and just flew around the yard. It was so fun to watch! I can't help but laugh when he does that. Frankie's tongue was hanging good after some throws with the disc.

I will try really hard to write more--at least once a week. I should be able to manage that! After this cruddy day, the rest of the week sounds just wonderful. Get out and enjoy it!

That's all until next time.
