Life is a mystery

I know you're done! let's get out of here!!

I'm not writing much, I know! but today I'll bring some good news...

One of things I love the most about life is how unpredictable it can be, we make plans, we dream, we live... but we can never know for sure whats going to happen.

I studied in a brazilian school, called NAP, but my 1st plan always was to get out of the country to go to college abroad, if I don't have an american diploma it's complicated, not impossible though. in july I asked my father if I could go to the american school of my city and he said no, since I was going to lose a semester and it's way more expensive, but when I finish the school I would receive two diplomas, an american and a brazilian, so it would make my life way easier. anyways, I went to my normal school when the vacations ended, one week later my father called me and said he changed his mind and I was going to the american school. and here I'm! classes are good, teachers are amazing and class mates are awesome. I wake up at 5 a.m and I come back from school around 4 p.m, and still I always have a lot of homework to do, so, no free time at all! and that's the reason why I'm so absent in here...

My boys are not in second plan though, so I'm still working on a lot of different things with them whenever I find time. we've been training some new tricks, so I promise a new video soon! running contacts are also on it's way, of course way slower, but not stopped. and we have been working on a dream! I always wanted to teach frisbee to them, but I never could, even teaching so many tricks and agility foundation, it was always an impossible job to teach frisbee to the dogs, but now they are catching the frisbee \o/ not perfectly, but it's the beginning, and I'm happy! now we'll keep moving, maybe slower, maybe life twists again and we are able to go faster, who knows? what matters is that we won't stop, because we love what we do!


list of tricks for this year, let's see how far we go.
the boys are bored with all that free time! 
really bored!! lol

There's nothing like time


  People say that time is the best medicine, it's true. Time brings confidence, take away fears and build trust! today my baby sheltie is 16 months old and only getting better and better with time and patience.

  He used to be afraid of jumping, and today I raised his jump quite a lot and he was just perfect! I'm training the hand stand trick for some months now, because every time I tried to move to another step he would stop giving the behavior I wanted, I know learning is not linear, but he wasn't progressing at all! and now he's progressing every day and we are almost done =D and ahh the tunnels, he's getting better with them too! he's really less apprehensive and it's a relief.

   High also had some problems, he used to get frustrated and bite me, during our trainings, and he never cared about my body movements, he would bump on me if I was on his way... both this problems were solved with patience and persistence, but it all came with time.

   So yeah, we should not be afraid of time, it brings new adventures, a whole new bunch of bravery and when it arrives it leaves great stories behind! and never ever give up when you face with problems that apparently have no solution, time will make it all better.
