There are two more weeks to puppy school. We have reached the main stretch and Yasir has come around magically from a beast to a quite civilized puppy. He has learned to sit, stay, go down, and today he learned come and leave it. The trainer was there with her 5-year-old dog today and she told us it was important to train our puppies for 10 minutes each day, twice a day. I asked her if they learn by repetition and she said, yes, that is how they learn. They think and can problem solve, but practice makes perfect, like in ballet.
I did not have a ballet class today but I did go for my swim after leaving my sunny apartment in the afternoon to head out into the icy cold. My hands felt cold today, really bad for a spring day. There were lots of swimmers at the gym today and the water was quite warm, so I plowed away, feeling a little weak at first, but I made myself do the "repetitions" and now I feel lighter and stronger again. I won't let the cold get me down, and it is supposed to get warm come April, so I must continue onward. I am persistent, if nothing else...
