Owning a business isn't easy. Sometimes there are an overwhelming number of obligations; financial obligations, community obligations, client obligations...

Over a year ago, I signed up for a 2 year canine osteopathy course, but then, unexpectedly, the universe threw challenge after challenge at me this year. It would be fair to say my personal life has been painful, and that has had a massive impact on my business and my studies.

However, I'm not someone who gives up, so here I am, sitting in the Toronto airport, about to board a flight for London, England, to complete the Year 1 practicum.

The photo summarizes the chaos of my life at the moment - study materials in the binder, CPCFT homework submissions on the computer, and a caffeinated drink at the ready.

So why am I explaining this?

While I know my posts are few and far between this year, usually I post about successes - cute dogs, before and after photos, successful events, etc.

But this is the other side of the business; the realistic side, where everything isn't perfect, and sometimes life is really, really hard...but like all small business owners, I keep going, because that's what we do.

Double Trouble! Reason and Journey dropped by for massages today. These two little monkeys make me laugh every time - they are so sweet, well behaved, and absolutely LOVE to be loved!

This is Fergus, a handsome Wheaten Terrier I worked with as a puppy and a young adult, who has now returned to me as a senior dog for conditioning and massage. There are SO many advantages to introducing your dogs to conditioning when they are young. Fergus came into CFI happy to see me, comfortable working with me, familiar with the equipment, and confident with appropriate form. He will progress much faster because his foundation was established all of those years ago.

Every year we have a sale on Small Business Saturday, and one of the packages included in the sale is the Puppy Package. It's a chance for your young dog to become comfortable and gain confidence in the setting, the equipment, and the foundation exercises. Watch for sale updates next week!
