Snowy Show!

Well, today's the day of the show and it's snowing! Although, I was expecting it to snow. The snow's not a problem, but the animals are. I went to pick up Henna and she ran from me. I had to corner her! I think they're just nervous, but that's normal. Henna and Rosey cannot do their act together. It really is too bad, for that's a favorite among my animal-loving fans. Although, they do like it when Sara blows on them. I'm so happy that I can get the show over with and get back to reading, training, writing and teaching. I know it sounds like a lot, but believe me, it's not! Well, I should probably set my computer down and do something useful. I'll tell you how the show went tomorrow!

A Change of Plans

Last night I got to thinking about the show (not that I haven't stopped thinking about it!), and I decided that Henna's not going to do her stick act. I'll just have to make the tightrope act look amazing. She also has the act with Rosey, but that's not turning out so well. Somehow, I've got to get Rosey to forget she's a yellow lab! Even though the act with Henna isn't working out, Her solo act is coming along beautifully! Too bad Bobby doesn't have a solo act. I don't have time to work with him, so he's just going to look cool and act awesome. At least Sara knows hers. She's pretty smart for being a little box turtle. Anyway, even though it's Friday the 13th, I have a hunch things will go better today.

We Have a Problem Here!

Like I said in the title, we have a problem here! Rosey does NOT want Henna on her back, and Henna refuses to get on the stick. I've been working with those two so much, I haven't had time to train Bobby. I'm counting on Sara knowing her act perfectly, because I don't think I'll have time to train her. When I'm inside the house, I'm working on flyers and pamphlets. When I'm outside, I have Henna and Rosey in the arena. No matter how hectic it is, I think I'll be able to put on a great show in just 3 days. I kind of have to have a show put together in 3 days, because this month's show and next month's show are booked solid!

I've also got a class today. Thursdays I go to a class at the Mossyrock School. I've got to leave in about an hour. Fortunately, I've got my pets. Yeah, I know, they're the cause of my problems, but if they didn't make me angry, I'd die!

Show Time!

With my book, students, and ordinary life, I completely forgot about the show that's coming up. My pets and I perform a show every month, but I'm not sure I'm ready for this one. Sara's got her act down, but Rosey, Henna and Bobby are struggling. I can't get Henna to walk the tightrope and she doesn't always climb on the stick. Rosey won't behave around Henna. She keeps looking back at Henna when she's riding on Rosey's back. I wish they made blinkers for dogs! Bobby doesn't know his act at all! I haven't even worked with him yet. Henna and Rosey need to master their act, Bobby needs to learn his, and I need to practice my little part. All I do is walk around and tell the animals what to do. I also hold Henna's stick that she's supposed to climb on. The show is in 4 days, so I'd better get off the computer and get busy!

By the way, feel free to drop by and watch my show!

Lightning Sara and Other Turtles

I didn't realize how much fun turtles were until I had Sara for about a month. In the time that I've had her, I've discovered many things. She can yawn, she touches things with her nose and I can train her to do things. I've taught her how to blow back when someone blows on her. No one believes me until she does it to them!

Books and Pets

My first book is written and edited, so now I need to send it out to be published. I'm not very excited for all that. It's hard to find time to write, teach and spend time with my wonderful pets, but in a way it's fun.

These cold nights can be hard on dear old Rosey. Fortunately, though, she has her blanket that I can cover her up with. Sometimes I wonder what would be like to be a dog...

It's my birthday today! YAY!
