Shameless Exploitation «Making of an Angel Making of an Angel

Making of an Angel. Friday, Dec 13 2013. Kat, Holly & Bri. What with being recently returned from the other side of the country, I’m looking for a job. There’s a big difference between job hunting in the middle of a small town, middle of nowhere area and a huge city packed with dogs and their people. The competition around here is rough! Today I had my first interview with a lovely daycare facility. OCD little job hunter that I am I always write thank you notes that I mail directly after an interview.

Making of an Angel. Brigantia, or as we call her, Bri, is my little Newfoundland girl. About two years after I got Holly, and shortly after washing Holly out of Service Dog training, I began the search for the pup that would turn out to be Bri. I honestly can say I had no desire for a second dog. I’m not rich, and I really enjoy being able to lavish one pup with all the attention, treats, and training rather than having to worry about two pups. Bri, the Green Collar Girl, at 2 weeks. At this point she...

Making of an Angel. Tuesday, Mar 17 2015. Kat, Holly & Bri. It’s been a while, a little over a year now since I last updated my blog. 2014 was an incredibly busy year for me and my pack. My daughter was born in February. From there things have just been wild and hectic. I’ve decided to pick up this blog again because it seems to be one of the very few ways I can easily keep track of training. I’m an abysmal note taker, and up until about a year ago, keeping notes in my head worked okay. In other news, Ho...

A Little Project «Making of an Angel Making of an Angel
https://angelofthemind.wordpress.com/2014/01/23/a-little-project
Making of an Angel. Thursday, Jan 23 2014. Kat, Holly & Bri. Generally speaking I limit my projects to things revolving around the wonderful world of dog training. However, I do also enjoy the occasional handwork project. Some of these other hobbies that occupy my (little) spare time are fiber spinning and knitting. I have a friend that I met while in Georgia, and she is pregnant with her third child, a little boy. This inevitably leads to a fiber project! Holly and Bri had to help of course. Fill in you...

Making of an Angel. Tuesday, Jul 9 2013. Kat, Holly & Bri. July 4th… Oh my goodness, I have never appreciated just how hard dog boarding facilities work over the holidays. This past Independence Day was packed full! We had a little bit of everything, friendly Danes; fluffy, lovable yap dogs; and of course at least one pup that would take your face off if given the chance. She’ll be going to her forever family this Wednesday. I had not thought about it until recently but the boyfriend has become increasin...

Making of an Angel. Wednesday, Jan 1 2014. Kat, Holly & Bri. What a year it has been! Some lessons have been learned indeed. I moved to Georgia in January and stayed there until November. I don’t regret the decision since it led to some needed life experience, lessons, and meeting some wonderful, wise, kind-hearted folks. I got some professional job experience and learned a whole lot about giving trust to people who don’t deserve it. One last picture series from 2013 for you:. Bri dealt for about 3 minut...

To Certify or Not «Making of an Angel Making of an Angel
https://angelofthemind.wordpress.com/2014/01/27/to-certify-or-not
Making of an Angel. To Certify or Not. Monday, Jan 27 2014. Kat, Holly & Bri. I realize I’m no longer a SD handler but I still try to keep an eye on that world, stick up for other handlers and educate where I can. This is why I feel it my civic duty to call some attention to the misguided effort that the service dog group, Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) is putting into calling for a cease in the selling of “fake” SD equipment. In my opinion, the answer is education. The more the public is e...

Making of an Angel. Friday, Jan 24 2014. Kat, Holly & Bri. I’ve heard the training mantra repeated again and again: “Training is about training the owner far more than the dog.” I guess I never really realized how true that saying was. Lovely lady that she is, she agreed and today I got to assist with the puppy class. Since I wasn’t working with my own dog and therefore, not existing in our own little training world, I got the chance to observe how the average Joe works with their new puppies. You are co...
