Can ANYBODY tell me anything

[get the red out]

16. That would apply to my new hobby

This is just a hobby, but I've begun taking my dog to dog agility trials and the one last weekend brought to light that the one thing that she's not getting, and I'm not doing a good job of training, is throwing off everything else. She has no start-line stay, and last weekend she REALLY had no startline stay, and she also had an idiot handler running after her in front of about 200 people yelling NO!!!!!!! as she blew through the course the wrong way, LOL.

Boy does stuff ever show up! It would be nice to show off her beautiful weave pole ability, if we didn't totally screw up on something I should have had thoroughly trained a year ago. I am also not at all surprised that me, someone who has had a rough ride with crazy wild emotions and a desperate need to control my environment for 48 years would be matched by the Universe with a BORDER COLLIE!!! Oh beautiful, sweet cosmic funny, I love it. (I love my dog too, wouldn't have it any other way.)

Edit to add that I've also been sick throughout Thanksgiving weekend with the never-ending stomach virus. I'm not sure what this brick wall means, maybe just too much emotion rolling around in me and my body gave up for a while and let a damn virus in.
