It has been another hectic few days and I am lacking in sleep. Friday was reactive dog day at the farm with two clients who own dogs that have serious issues with people. Both dogs were flying at me (muzzled) at the start of their sessions but the changes were phenomenal and both settled beautifully. I couldn’t touch the first dog but her owner was able to calm her down and she stopped flying at me within in a relatively short space of time. She also walked straight past a man who was working on the indoor arena and her owner said this was the first time ever that she had been calm in the presence of a male stranger as she would usually have jumped up to bite him.

The second dog settled really quickly and we went up to my fields so that he could have a run off lead. Something he can’t usually do. I ended up taking his muzzle off and doing body work all over him. Brilliant!

Saturday was another trip up the M6, this time to Staffordshire. Tony and I were guests at Lee Pearson’s wedding party and we had another brilliant evening together in the company of farrier Ian Hughes and other great equestrians. Lee and Mark are a wonderful couple and we MUST get together when they return from their honeymoon. Life is so ridiculously busy that we only manage to see each other once a year but this time we are going to go for a record and see each other twice! We got home at 3.00am this morning and were up early as we had the annual Maremma Fun Day at the farm today.

Tony and my daughter Daisy cooked a wonderful supper for us all and when I finally got home at 8.00pm having finished the yard work after the Maremmas had left, I was exhausted. I feel totally blessed to have such a brilliant family and we are now sitting watching a programme on camping which is bizarrely highly entertaining. I have never been a fan of camping but as my life gets busier and busier the thought if hitching up an airstream and heading off in to the sunset is starting to have a strange appeal.
