My but how things change. I have to admit it has been a long time since I posted, and to anyone interested in following me, I apologize.

Much has changed. My son married a lovely lady and they are expecting their first child. Lektor and Belle crossed the rainbow bridge. Orex got his IPO 1, AD, BH, and the first leg of his Korung. Unfortunately, He was permanently injured and retired at 7 years old. Reiza has joined the family and is testing to operational status. My dogs are house dogs and live together. I will get another male puppy to train for IPO, but the timing isn’t right. Orex is dominate and I don’t want him to bully a puppy so for right now, working dogs has a lower priority.

Instead I am focusing on work and actually writing. I am please to announce “Profit is Not a Four Letter Word”, “Turn”, and “Go Find” all went Amazon best-seller. Since then I have also released “Bark Alert” and the start of my clean romance series for grownups “Search the North Country”. “Sophie’s Search” is out and available with “Out if the Storm” out for final edits. In the mean time I have added doing ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 quality management audits to my schedule.

The Problem

A friend with a new puppy that had the runs came to visit me and asked the question, “How do you live with three German Shepherds?” The truth of the matter is the more training they have the easier they are to live with.

I was getting frustrated that I was not accomplishing the things I wanted to with a quality I felt was acceptable. After some truly encouraging words from a friend I decided to come up with a plan and schedule my days. The goal is to be at my computer by 9 AM. Right now I am missing that goal more than meeting it but maybe with a plan this will get better. I hope hearing what is and isn’t working for me might help you, if you are feeling this way.
