Me: breaks my foot 3 obstacles in. Hobbles around to finish our course regardless

Timber: absolutely nailing his dog walk hit at the end despite me being crazy far behind

Worth it 👌🏼

Honestly it just never crossed my mind to stop running our course 😅 oh well!

Surgery is complete and we’re finally on the road to recovery after waiting in limbo for a bit 🙌🏼 wanting to get back to agility (and I guess life and my job) as soon as possible so fingers crossed for speedy, uncomplicated healing ❤️‍🩹

Timber couldn’t decide between duck and salmon, so it’s up to me to pick the next protein rotation!

Duck is a nice cooling protein for the hot summer days coming up. Salmon is a neutral protein but it’s always nice to add fish into his diet!

Timber is a forever hot boy 🥵 so I try my best to remember to choose cooling or neutral protein options when we restock our favorite ! Luckily for Timber, they include pork in a lot of their diets which is also a cooling food👌🏼

Timber’s favorite is usually anything duck 🦆 does your dog have a favorite or do they just inhale anything in front of them?

Looks like it’ll be a while before we get to do our favorite thing again 🥲

Yesterday, right in the begging of our master standard run around obstacle 3, I felt a “pop” in my foot and immediate pain. Naturally, I finished running our course 😅 Timber did a fantastic job with me hobbling around, just one dropped bar. Then I immediately knew it was time to call my mom to come pick us up because I wouldn’t even be able to drive home 😬

One ER trip later and it turns out I broke my fifth metatarsal 🙃 waiting for an orthopedic specialist appointment but for now I can’t put any weight on my foot. To be determined if I need surgery or how long thins recovery will take.

So everybody send me some speedy healing vibes!! I guess I was just overdue for my first broken bone. It really threw a wrench in a lot of upcoming trial plans though, let alone numerous other appointments and work 🙃😅🥲

If they’re not having fun then what’s the point?

Timber always has a happy face and wagging tail in the activities we do, it’s one of the biggest reasons we do them!

It’s really just not that serious, why get frustrated and not enjoy ourselves 🤷🏼‍♀️ it’s just jumping over plastic bars, spinning in circles, running around barns, and chasing plastic bags.

We did a few scent work trials a few years ago, got two novice titles, but then I realized Timber just wasn’t having fun. He could be convinced to do it and he knew how, but he didn’t really want to 😅 so we stopped! There’s so many other things he loves to do, why keep pushing one of the few things he didn’t enjoy.

I’m lucky to have one of the best, happiest teammates in everything we do! Every day that I get to see this happy golden face is a gift 💛

That’s my best friend, he’s pretty cool

A friend asked me the other day if I get tired when almost all my weekends are filled with one dog sport or another, we rarely have a full weekend off. Going to work, waking up early, and having to be an adult make me tired. I’m exhausted every day I work.

But hanging out doing fun things with my dog is all I want to do on my weekends! Don’t get me wrong, we have a lazy day or weekend at home now and then. But for the most part I’m using my weekends as bonding time to make up for my long work shifts during the week. I have to be gone for 3 days during the week, but we get to do all these fun things when I’m home!

I also get to compete with this extremely happy golden who just loves to be by my side doing literally anything. He gives me all the energy I need to keep getting up and out there on weekends 💛

Just forever in awe that this is my novice A dog. In 2023 we entered our very first trial, neither of us fully knowing what we were doing or getting into. In 2026 Timber has earned his MACH in AKC and now his IAC2 in UKI

Forever proud of us for the progress we’ve made together. Time to continue working hard and having fun!

Truly cherishing every run with this incredibly special boy 💛
