I was supposed to go to the ADI conference this coming week. Working with multiple ADI programs- this would be great experience for me.

With how fast things are moving and in all sorts of directions- traveling to Florida as a trans person to an conference where I'd only know a few people.

Transportation day means this Brigadoon pup gets to have a short fun stay at one of the facilities. She was lovely if walking in and meeting her new handling team. Great work Journey!

Expanding my rally class offerings! I virtual program is in the making!

My Friday night rally classes really uplift me.

1) students asked if they could have a break from talk and just work their dogs
2) two students excitedly showed me their Trick title plans
3) a few let me hold space when they communicated how afraid they were for friends.
I can do all these things

Started our morning off with SNOW!
It’s the biggest thing that I miss about the east coast.
You bet I let my dogs do an early morning hike in it.

How I use the #finch app to organizing by daily and weekly dog training goals…

"Normal has always been a fickle jerk"

"Let's make this an opportunity to create new normals"

My normal: is being able to create and hold space- the "new" is just where and what that space looks like.
Its okay to be upset with this.
But dont just let it take from you.
Make it give.

Was doing a drive through the country yesterday, headed to a facility I have driven to at least 50times over the course of the last two years.
The lack of Trump flags this time was significant.
I just wish some people didn’t have to wait for things to get worse before they back down.

Got to have this cutie for a sleepover before sending him on his next adventure.

It’s becoming semi-regular that a Brigadoon pup gets to hang out with me during transport.

This is my favourite self care app- I use it for dog training skills and general pet care as well.
When you complete enough daily tasks in this sweet little app your bird child goes on an adventure and comes back asking about their experiences.

Sometimes they ultimately end up disliking something you like (mine dislikes aurora-watching because it’s too cold 😭) but other times…

I paused my presence on Meta so I could slow down and focus on other alternatives.
I feel cut off. I hate that marginalized people are such a threat that they were the focus of the first EO.
Some things I did to ground this weekend.

This week was the first day of a new group of students at a brand new location.
Every single one of them read the supply list for class and brought everything I requested. I am over joyed with how well prepared the humans were and how well all the dogs did as a result.
