As you may have noticed I have been hibernating up here in Canada. Truthfully I haven’t been doing much except spending time with John and my dogs.

I wrote about this peculiarity in my book  “Shaping Success.” When Feature was a wee baby she used to suck & knead as well but it was always [...]]]> http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2009/12/sunday-afternoons-entertainment/feed/ 21 http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2009/07/summer-afternoon-in-canada/ http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2009/07/summer-afternoon-in-canada/#comments Fri, 24 Jul 2009 21:29:17 +0000 Susan http://susangarrettdogagility.com/?p=1486 http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2009/07/summer-afternoon-in-canada/feed/ 30 http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2009/07/irritation-is-motivation/ http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2009/07/irritation-is-motivation/#comments Tue, 14 Jul 2009 10:02:50 +0000 Susan http://susangarrettdogagility.com/?p=1420 Irritation is motivation. Some of you may have heard me say this before.  When you are really irritated by something you will take action to change it. Those of you that are overweight right now are that way because it doesn’t bug you enough. When something irritates you enough your words and thoughts turn from [...]]]> http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2009/07/irritation-is-motivation/feed/ 13 http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2009/05/software-issues-ontario-regionals-and-baby-dee/ http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2009/05/software-issues-ontario-regionals-and-baby-dee/#comments Thu, 28 May 2009 14:02:00 +0000 Susan http://susangarrett.wordpress.com/?p=1241 http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2009/05/software-issues-ontario-regionals-and-baby-dee/feed/ 13 http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2009/01/continuing-with-lifes-processes/ http://susangarrettdogagility.com/2009/01/continuing-with-lifes-processes/#comments Wed, 28 Jan 2009 09:35:05 +0000 Susan http://susangarrett.wordpress.com/?p=537 I am continuing the topic I started yesterday, describing how I have emotionally coped with the advancing progression of my dogs lives.
