On one hand, I feel horribly guilty for having a couple weekends where I've committed to absolutely nothing to the point of backing out of volunteering at a local dog show.

On the other hand, I have dog sport events literally every weekend and practice or class at least twice a week throughout the entirety of October and November. I think I get a free pass for a couple weekends.

#and this doesn't even count my work disc dog events #those start again next week #I have two disc dog events and two obedience trials and the three separate mondioring seminars #on top of work disc dog events and AKC Trick Dog classes at multiple levels I'll be hosting and an extracurricular play skills class #that will make my Sundays at 12 hour work day even if it's a very rewarding one with Limited Basic obedience work #I go through Vicious Cycles of doing as much as physically possible during busy season and then crashing during the dead seasons #but I need to support my hobby jobby job and my partners Hobby jobby job as much as I can to keep this sustainable #and 10 is in his Peak trialing time before he starts losing Mobility #and Valkyrie is in her Peak training time to build her up as a multi-sport dog #so here we go #and Mr tumnus gets to be a little bit of a living plush animal for a while since I can't afford to show a third animal right now #I honestly think he would do great showing and we would both have fun #but I can keep him in good condition and get out there again in a year or two when I can afford a second ferret and yet another sport #the life of Ron #maybe if a manic enough I won't notice that my birthday is coming up again #and I'll get enough done before I have to have surgery that I won't be going insane through recovery
