The world voted and Eddy made it into the 2025 Shelter to Soldier Calendar! https://sheltertosoldier.org 

Fur Baby Eddy always critiques my workout…But here he is in the local fields the day I adopted him (3/5/2024). Onward Twiggy to your forever home!

My catalog journey continues…306 classes completed, 92 (oldies) to go + all the new weekly ones. I had to slow down because I was more focused on the goal as opposed to the joy of each workout. Enjoying the journey.

Not sure if the beats will work but…I’m Jones’n for some 60’s British Invasion tunes…think Beatles, Kinks, Animals, Hollies, Donovan, Manfred Mann, Procol Harem (A whiter shade of pale for cool down). I guess I’m showing my age? Perhaps this fall we can have a 60’s Brit theme. Hmmmm

Fur Baby Summer Camp…Tomorrow, Eddy, my newest fur baby embarks on his journey to finishing school for service level obedience training. I told him it was summer camp and that he would be playing with the other furry kids and to be a good boy. Hopefully he will come home with an archery badge! I will miss him for the next 4 weeks but will post a photo when he graduates.

I’m happy to report my challenge is on track….How about you?

I cannot find the challenge board for tomorrow’s challenge. Apparently I deleted the email with the details. Any links available?

FurBaby Story -- This is Lady, a 1 year old pocket Labrador (max 40-50) lbs. I am fostering her and training her for an organization I have been volunteering at for over 10 years called Shelter to Soldier (sheltertosoldier.org). We adopt shelter dogs and provide them for free to Post 911 TBI/PTSD Veterans (for life). It takes anywhere from 6 months to 18 months for her to be an accredited service dog. Anyway she is the sweetest girl and will make her Veteran very happy. She will participate in speed dating to find her ideal Veteran in about 6 months and then they will work together for 6 months before graduating as a team. This has been the most rewarding thing in my live and I am honored to see the growth of both the dog and Veteran through their journeys. In this photo, she has just finished 20 min training and is spent! Enjoy...

Today I am 67 and so very grateful for the life I have led.
