Let sleeping dogs lie

While getting ready for bed I walked past where the dogs have beds and lay and saw them snuggling together on a cold winter night and had to snap a picture of them. They have enough beds and places to lay but they always choose to snuggle together. Chaos had been at a seminar with me and I think Moose and Lady missed him. 🐾🐾🐾 I just had to snap a picture of them. ❤️❤️❤️
Had a fabulous opportunity to go to a Connie Cleveland Seminar last weekend and I have to say I would recommend it if you ever have the opportunity to go see her. Really would love to go visit her in South Carolina one day!

Memories ??

This weekend there was an agility trail locally. I went to show my support to a fellow dalmatian owner here in the State that’s running her dalmatian Pixie. I had my boy Chaos with me because we went to do a little training to while I was out. So anyway, I had him in with me visiting and had several people come up and ask if I was running this weekend or yay your finally back and it brought back so many memories and feelings. No, I was not running him. Not because we couldn’t because we could and should be running but I’m not.
So, as I lay here awake I am of course overthinking like I do and one of my topics is running agility again. I had an amazing first Dalmatian in Princess, she was my world and she was an amazing agility partner! We were known very well in the agility world and she has so many agility titles but we didn’t get to finish. I’m mad about that. Really mad. She was taken from me too soon. It’s been 10 1/2 years and it still hurts. I wasn’t ready. I know we are never ready to loose our beloved pets but I lost her so unexpectedly. I was told she was okay. I was made to feel like I was overreacting and nothing was wrong with her. That was by a professional!! They were suppose to know. I was suppose to know.
I really thought I had came to terms with her loss. The phone call none of us ever want to get and I received and it played over in my head day after day, week after week, month after month and even year after year on that dreadful day I will never forget.

So much has changed in my life since me and PP ran agility together. I knew right away I couldn’t run agility with Solo, one because it was too hard knowing we had so much more to do with Princess and me and two Solos heart was never in it. She didn’t love agility like her mom did.
Now, al these years later I have Princess grand puppies, 2 are mine and remind us so much of Princess that we knew a peice of her was still with us.
So I start training them in agility along with obedience and of course conformation. Both are ready to start trialing. Well, have been ready but still trail after trail goes by and I don’t enter. Why people ask and then look at me like I am nuts when I say we’re not ready. Well, that’s because they know that’s not true. The saying, "If you fall off a horse, you get back up. I am not a quitter.", well I feel like I am a quitter, I feel like I can’t get back on that horse so to speak. Why? I can’t seem to shake the feeling that I am somehow betraying Princess. I worry I will emotionally loose if I go back out there. How do I break this? Why can’t I see what I am missing with these beautiful Princess grand babies here sitting or laying in front of me?
Sorry to blab on and on this all just hit me and I needed to write it.
The loss of a pet is never easy. Enjoy every moment with them. Because you never know when it will be your last.
Broken hearted 💔

Wow can’t believe it’s 2018! I feel this is going to be a fabtabulous year here at Fireday! We will hopefully have a litter this spring/summer here and we have some exciting breeding plans outside as well so stay tuned for all that. I am going to work harder at doing at least a weekly blog post to keep everyone up to date on what’s going on here. In the social media frenzy world we live in I often forget that just because I’ve posted to Facebook and update my page doesn’t mean I should update stuff here as well so that is my plan.
Hope everyone had a wonder holiday season. Still so surprised 2017 is over. All and All it was a great year. Chaos showed his last year in juniors with his buddy Carson. They did great and finished out the summer show season qualifying Carson for Eukanuba along with his Rottie friend Eska. Carson and Eska went to Florida and had a great time and looked amazing!
Later this year Chaos’ boy Dennis will be old enough to do juniors and he is super excited to show his dog! They will also debut in Rally together at the end of the year.
Chaos has been focusing on Obedience and Agility and we are looking forward to Colorado in May!
Below is Dennis and Chaos working some obedience fun together.
Cant wait to really watch those 2 get going in performance and conformation.
Well that’s all for tonight.
Have a wonderful night and Happy New Year to all of you from Fireday Dalmatians
