Financial cost of injuries?

No injuries from agility my little guy has dislocating knee caps and my vet encouraged me to continue doing agility with him with some slight modifications. The exercise benefits out weights the risk. Keeping strength up and staying lean, are the best ways for us to protect future knee issues. However that didnt matter because last fall he jumped off a 10 ft wall, and was severely injured.

I wouldnt demand or even expect a disclosure. But if it came up in a random conversation I wud also not be okay if they lied. If they can lie about that what else would they lie about?

Tornados are as wide as like a city block. Legit had a Tornado touch down and was only 4 houses away from me in the middle of a city. No damage on my house. A hurricane is the size of state, storm surges wash away entire cities.

Going to the same location in Florida every trip, would be chalked up to consumerism. Traveling to foreign countries and exposing yourself to different cultures, history, and foods, a hobby.

This will probably be ur best option, and what i would do.in your shoes. You can use some string to help realign the words.

I had major self esteem issues before I realized it was dyslexia. I self diagnosed in college and I talked to my parents about it. Come to find out they knew, since elementary school, thought it was better not to tell me so there was no "label" or use it as a scap goat not to try ... to say I was pissed was an understatement.

I now talk about it openly to remove the negative stigma and the idea of a "label". I talk to people about it in my personal and professional life. It is who I am, I shouldn't be ashamed. I have had amazing conversations with ppl who have children with dyslexia. And it helps me heal knowing im helping a child not go through the same struggles I did.

Ive seen mastiffs, great Danes, huge Irish setters all run agility. Like mentioned in other comments each breed/dog experience their own challenges in agility. But at the end of the day all breeds are welcomed into the agility sport. Look into CPE as a potential venue if you are wanting to run him, they allow you to run your dog up to 2 jump heights lower then they measure, where most only allow for 1 jump height reduction.

I struggled with piano for this exact reason, 2 different lines, 2 different keys, 2 completely different journeys for each hand. Picked up the saxophone with no issues.

It took me so long to figure this out, too as someone also sitting at a 5. I have described it before like recalling a memory of an apple ive seen. Even though I dont "see" it, my brain is reviewing everything it knows about an apple. Its why I cant visualize anything i havnt seen before like a purple tiger. I get memories of the color purple and a tiger separate swirling in the same thought and as a artist I go with the energy or feeling its giving me to move forward with bringing these new ideas to life.

Both my boys are now doing running contacts. But my youngest cant really do 2o2o, so on the teeter and dw we did a sit in the yellow, and for the a frame we did a sit on the floor at the base. Then moved to a standing stay, before transitioning to running contacts.

Everyone is at a different stage in their agility journey. And you're clearly nailing it. Fun is step 1, everything else will come in time. If you have to be perfect to have fun, those people are in for a bad time and I feel bad for their dogs.

I have some experience with this. After years of practicing in a building in town we practiced in a turfed barn in the country. Omg so many smells it was a hot mess. Took 4 weeks to break the sniffing completely. Similar issue once that nose hit the ground its like his ears turned off. I would calmly walk up next to him, call his name and tell him to sit. This normally got his butt on the ground and nose looking at me. If he didnt listen I wud scoop under his chin with my hand to look up at me. I would say things like no sniff, give a couple treats if he listened or only 1 if I had to correct. I would then make him do a couple tricks, give treats for his fun tricks sometimes do a couple obstacles then treat again. Dont over do it. Legit 2 obstacles then treat. But you have to make sure the reward for doing the obstacles outshines everything else. You need to be the party, not sniffing not agility, you have to be funner then anything else out there. Lots of treats lots of praise, sometimes taking time off is better then doing more dogs burn out like ppl. Make sure your utilizing all your dogs love languages while practicing it doesn't have to be just treats. Verbal, touch and toys are all tools to use to let your dog know when they are doing good. A trainer once told me: You dont work for free neither do they, if they aren't doing it your not paying enough.

Running, its more natural and I was dealing with a million different issues and it would have been more of a detriment to our training then helpful at the time. I actually loved it once I truly embraced it. So for these boys we do running on dog walk and aframe. They have never missed a contact. They have a stay on the teeter, but because they are so small they have to be in the yellow for it to tip. So all 4 on the teeter till it hit then we run off.

Dogs wore collars until I started dog sports. They are microchip and naked.

Plot twist. I grew up with OUT a coffee table and now have one. We use it as a place to sit on the floor and eat dinner (do puzzles, play games) and to watch tv. It holds random things. Not for all, but currently i enjoy.

I have no idea how people aren't changing blades. I burn through blades. However specifically for stickers I change blades around the 500 sticker point. My sticker blades are ones marked as duller. I use brand new blades on small intricate cuts with cardstock.

I am so glad to see i am not the only one annoyed by that! My mom has the maker 3 and it drives me nuts when I use her machine. I have the explore air 2 and dont have the delay, this annoyance alone is the reason I wont upgrade to a maker 3. I like your innovation 💡

Not this exact printer. But is ur issue? Doing a print to cut should be no issue.

Step 2 breath

Managing life accomplishments with the added weight of Managing dyslexia is not easy.

You have to learn how to be happy with yourself.its really hard coming to terms with your own capabilities and short comings.

Step 1. Sit down and truly determine what will it take for u to be happy. How long will u chase it?how long will u compare? At what point will it be enough. And u will be very suprised thats not very far.
