Last year resolutions I posted and so much more!

What I posted and what I did and didn't accomplish! It was QUITE the year!
January -
lose 5 lbs.
workout 2 times per week 
I can't say I did the above in Jan... but last year I did lose 13lbs (and still working on that)
get dogwalk built 
YES!
Peanut/Oreo agility classes 
Biggest change - Started Peanut in herding instead of agility... Oreo continues classes, but I officially retired him from doing trials... he just won't perform due to stress!
Hemi - Obedience Clicker class starts Jan 11th 
I didn't do this last year, but I did do Susan Garrett's 5 minutes to a brilliant recall... it was a good webinar!


February -
get A-Frame built 
This didn't happen, I don't know that I have the room for an A-frame too. The dogwalk took up a little more space than I thought it would.
Practice in backyard 2-3 times week 
I have been pretty consistent about this until the weather got cold. I am going to start bundling up and do it anyways! I think this is the only reason the Hemi has such awesome weave poles, we practiced, practiced, practiced!
Hemi/Oreo - Greg Derrett Seminar Feb 21st-23rd 
Yes~ it was fabulous.... I wish he was coming back this year so I could put Hemi in a boxwork seminar!
UNT Orca conference with Bob Bailey (Like a mini-clicker seminar - 1 day)
No! It was around the same time as the GD seminar and it was just too much. I was really disappointed to miss it, but I am going back this year. If anyone in this area wants to learn about positive training.. there are some AMAZING trainers that participate in this. Worth EVERY penny!

March -
get Teeter built 
Yes!

April -
get lights in backyard 
Yes! I kind of rigged some lights so I can practice even though it is dark out by the time I get home.

May -
Hemi - Begins Foundation Agility classes !! YaY!
Yes!
Besides all that... I have had a wonderful year.
I got to go to Germany to see my daughter, we also took a trip to Paris! Amazing, I never thought I would really go!
My niece went with me to Germany/Paris and it was so awesome to get to know her and build a friendship with her!
I have been doing herding with Peanut, enjoying that and getting to know that group of people!
I started a different position at work!  I hated being a manager and I am so happy to be back in the technical world. The group of guys I work with now are great, building new friendships with them and enjoying work so so much more.
I have made so many new friends this year, Hemi is doing so well in agility and I am enjoying trialing for once...
It has been a good year... and looking forward to new adventures this coming year... including a 3 day Agility Trial over New Year's weekend!
