So much to do, so much fun!

So, I am only sort of pulling my hair out as I get ready for camp, whilst dealing with 6 almost 7 week old puppies, Geoffs new puppy, the horses, barn cats, house cats and of course todays new addition 4 guinea fowl :-) Why guinea fowl you ask? Well, the drawback to summertime in Colorado below 7000 feet is rattlesnakes! After having Geoff kill the one that was draped over my front porch stoop last night at about 8:30 I decided more natural ammo was necessary!
I have been told that guineas are awesome snake eradicators and they supposedly get on well with the barn cats so we will see :-)
To make my very hectic life sound a bit less hectic, let's see... litter of puppies a blast and almost ready to go to their new forever homes, Geoffs new puppy, adorable and at the office with Geoff most of the time, horses, awesome mind clearing machines! I actually rode for a couple of hours yesterday and it was glorious!
Barn cats, helping me relax a bit about the rodent/snake population, house cats, always make me laugh and, well... I already explained the guineas :-)
Meanwhile I have been working diligently with SoBe and Danger on their plank work, SoBe improving her teeter skills and Merger sequencing with more speed and confidence. Wally and Maze have had a bit of time off, a much needed break.
I have bitten the bullet and pulled Miss SoBe from all classes that require contacts at the upcoming trials we are entered in. SoBe is not yet 3 years old and with a big dose of time and dedication she is going to have the most wonderful dog walk performance to go along with a great A-frame and now improved teeter, time well spent and money saved in my opinion :-)
I am so excited for camp again this year! I have to thank all of the people who are always tirelessly working to make camp a success and this year has been no exception! Thank you Julie for the amazing work you do organizing everyone, including me, how hard is that!
Shar, as always you go above and beyond and I am soooo grateful!
Charlie, I am thanking you before camp even starts because you will be awesome as always!!
Deb A. for the errands and the ear and everything else!
Tina, I am already salivating over the yummies you are making for the welcome reception/meet and greet!
THANK YOU all from the bottom of my heart!!!
And, THANK YOU campers, workers and instructors! Let the games begin!
Once camp is over it will be time to roll out the new coaching program I have been developing, you can get an idea of what it is all about on my new and much improved website, thank you Denise Wehrle designs!
Well, I am off to work on more camp stuff, until next week...
