I don't know...probably lurked for a while and assessed the board and people on it...but I am old enough, secure enough in myself and secure enough in my knoweledge of dogs after being owned by them for at least about 30 years to not care much what people think of me.
9. What do you do for a living?
full time job: Sexual Abuse Counselor for children whose cases have been founded through CPS or the courts..that doesn necessarily mean the perpetrator has gone to jail as too many go free. Part time perdiem job as a Psyciatric Crisis specialist or Psychiatric Assignment Officer in nearby hospital. Occasional Behavior Consultant for Dogs..really more the families and mismatches that have taken place. Occasional Puppy Apptitude Tester for litters of puppies as close to 7 weeks old as possible: all breeds. Still teach occasional obedience classes to prepare people for competition in the ring, i.e., teaching t hem the finer points that will make them lose the fewest points on their part and not interfer with their dogs...foot work, leash work, body language. Occasional teacher for conformation class. Constantly educating myself on the latest in all of my fields. Also grandma to 4 week old grandson and mother to his mother...and mother to daughter in Adminzona and grandmother to my 3 granddogs there...I am call she makes before she goes to the vet.
10. Do you show? I now show exclusively in conformation though I would like to get going with a bully in obedience and one in agility.
Need more time and less jobs!
11. Are you starting to think you look like your bulldog?
My son in law looks most like the bulldogs but I think I am next in line...I love to do the unexpected slightly crazy and off beat things too so I guess I am starting to act like them too...that is a good thing.
12. Do you do any sort of rally, obedience, or agilty with you bully?
I had Vickie trained in Obedience but she died in whelping sort of...Rosemarie, the 4 month old has been exposed to Agility equipment and is really driven to go up the frames like the A frame, the walk and the teeter toter...she thought the tunnels were funny so she may be a natural...she is afraid of nothing.
