So the boyo and I broke up. Cant say that it wasnt a long time comming. I'll miss him a bit for sure. I'll definitly miss riding, thats going to be put on hold for a while I think. Gave him back the stallion. Hope that was the right thing to do. Really nice horse, but not 100% sound, I dont want to go through another 3 years of having a horse I cant ride, and not to mention not having any money for said 3 years. I really want to pay my credit cards off. Visa is going down very soon. Mastercard however is slightly more formitable but I shall preval. So alas a horse doesnt really fit into things right now. You can bet if I somehow come into extra cash'ola that will be the first thing on my list but untill the credit cards are paid and I have a better paying job its just going to have to wait. ( If I can stand it that is)
On the up side, Im throughly enjoying Neo. That is when he and Ty arent stealing my dinner off the counter. >.<; little bastards! lol I have a bunch of events planned for October and next year. (The girls at work arent helping at all. "Your going to this right?" "Oh dont worry she's going." ) First of all, I decided to try and get Grand Champion on Neo. For this he needs his championship, which he'll hopefully get at the Port Alberni dog show. 4 points! (last show on the island for this year) Then he needs to get either a Best in Breed at a National specialty or a Best in Show. Now since Mal's arent a hugely popular dog, Best in Show is prolly not going to happen. Best in Breed however..... Well we're going for that one. Gotta piss off all of the Terv's and Gron's owners. So for this Im taking a handleing semiar which was reccomended to by a Mary Louis who breeds and shows Aussies. Need to up our game so we can kick ass. LOL
So October is going to be busy.
Oct 3rd and 4th - Handling Seminar in Nanoose.
Oct 16, 17, 18 - Port Alberni Dog show
Oct 29 - Herding Specialty at Tradex
Oct 29 to 31 - Dog show at Tradex (not sure if I'll go to the whole thing. Prolly be fun though)
Then no more dog shows for me!! Becuase I'll never get my credit card paid off...... atleast that is untill the national specialty in April!!
April 1 to 4 - in Cloverdale.
Depending on how he does in this one we'll either go on to try and get our 100 points or start doing something else. lol I'd really like to get it, but we're in this for the fun of it. Not the end of the world if we dont get it.
June 12-14th - Agility Regionals!!! You can bet we're going to this!
And some time later the Nationals are being held in Calgary. Which of course we're going to try like hell to quallify for.
Other then that I think Im going to finally get off my ass and go for that Animal health Tech degree. I want to go to the school in Alberta since they do large animals as well. But I need to get Chem 12 >.<; so I'll do that in the spring. Nice that their application deadline isnt untill August so there's enough time. (that and the damn chem 12 course isnt offered untill the spring :P) So thats my plan for now.... though still really wanting to do a working student position somewhere..... Im sure Ill fit it in somehow.
And I think thats all for now. Be warned, I think my firefox spell checker crapped out after the first paragraph so consider yourself warned...... this should probably be at the top of the post really..... meh. lol
Well I feel much better now. <3 journal
