Sail Away...

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

If we can make it financially do I have enough confidence to go thru with it? I am given the opportunity to be on a Jr AKC Agility World Team that is going to Austria during this summer. I know that I will not be able to go this summer due to financial reasons but I am trying to figure out if I want to go next year, because I must start planning now. Dingo would have to jump 26 inches when he usually jumps 20. It would take some time to build him up so he can jump that height. I don't want to hurt him tho so we will do it gradually. I really want to go, but I am quite nervous and a few things are holding me back. 
I think it would be an experience of a life time, that not everyone gets the chance to do. I know I would learn so much during this experience. 
The things holding me back though are expenses and the flight there. Dingo would have to ride in Cargo and that is a "no no" for me. I am pretty much totally against animals riding in cargo. I have heard way to many life threatening stories of pets riding in cargo.
Who knows what I am going to do. I guess I still have over a year to  make my decision and I could always start training for it now, even if I don't end up going. It would definitely be an experience I would never forget and learn so much from. Decisions... decisions... decisions...
I am excited and eager because I really want to go (: 
Yet, I don't??? 

Well today me and the dogs played outside a lot. I actually took pictures of them. lol
I did some photography stuff. My pictures aren't that great, but hey, they are cute and I had a lot of fun taking them. I'll add them tomorrow.
Sassy and Dingo enjoyed sliding again. I video-ed them tonight so I will definitely upload them tomorrow. If you need a good laugh, you should watch them, it's worth the 5 seconds. 
Mom also got some good training pictures of us. It was funny though because in the middle of training weave poles Sassy decided to lay down. I guess she got tired. I was getting tired myself.
This week training hasn't been going the greatest. Well, it's just the fact that the "trainer" (me, myself, and I) has been slacking. It's Spring Break, come on. Spring Break is no excuse for lacking in training. I have just been so tired and have been spending all of my time outside swinging on my playset and running around. I guess tomorrow I will train again. It's  been 2 days since I did a FULL training session. I have been training just like 15 minutes everyday not my usual 1-2 hours. I'm a bad trainer....lol... I guess you can look at it like this- the dogs needed a break.
Well I better get off this blog. I'm getting so tired and I think the family wants to hang out for awhile.
Good Night Bloggers,
Tequilla & the Cattle Dog Pack, plus Lab Pup

  1. 1. I know a few of the current team members, I think you'd enjoy it... don't get too caught up with what other people are saying - I were you, I'd trust your first instinct. If you think you're ready, it could be an amazing experience... but if you have doubts I'd go and work them out, and if you can't, don't.
    2. YAY PICTURES :) I can't wait to see!!!!!
