Stress and the art of dog ownership

What a difference a day makes!!!

Ok, it is a couple of weeks since I wrote last but I laugh when I read what I did write.

Following a lovely sunny weekend when we took Hope out walking over the fields we have been hit by:

• One very poorly dog who obviously ate too much sheep's poo along the way and a £50 quid vets bill
• A week of awful rain when no human/pet wants to go anywhere so they just drive you up the wall
• The start of a new term when you try to fit loads more stuff into a week you really don't have time for.

I used to get very stressed working full time for the public sector. Though I carry an unhealthy loathing of the organisation I last gave my heart and soul to, I appreciate that it was not all their fault. Saying 'no' has as much to do with realising that you physically can't, even though it is fab and enjoyable, as for those people who I coach and train who do not have the self respect to appreciate they have the right to say 'no'.

Things are going to have to give...watch this space and thank you, Launa
