Hi Gang
It's hard to believe that we're nearly done with February already. Where is this year going? We have glorious evening walks in the sunshine to look forward to again as the weather becomes warmer and, hopefully, drier.
I must admit, I am not a fan of the cold, wet months, especially since Twyla developed her broken wag, and the thought of nice warm, sunny walks is something I very much treasure.
Thankfully, she's not a fan of rain either, so she doesn't mind if we stay indoors and find other ways to entertain ourselves. She loves doing enrichment, and has recently become quite proficient in learning how to a few simple tricks by way of a method called “shaping”.
She also has quite a lot of rides in the car, and loves to watch the traffic go by from the back window.
Do you still walk in the wind and rain, or do you and your dog find something else to do instead?
Ai Cock-up of the week
This, according to DALL-E, is Twyla. To be far, they are not far wrong. Describe your dogs to an AI image generator and see what they come up with. The results will make you giggle. I think they have done a pretty good job this week of capturing her slightly screwball personality.
Fun Not Fear® Journal
This week has involved a lot more behind-the-scenes work as I get more and more of the school edited, updated, and added to the new website . Once there is enough of our resources there to use, I will start moving you all over there.
It is no small task, but I am really happy with how it is going so far! If you are curious about the club, do come and join us!
I am really happy to have set up our new weekly Wednesday zoom meeting link, and those of you who are in the Club can find the link in our Facebook Group in the “Featured” section, or by giving me a shout and I will send it to you.

My other posts - because I write about other stuff too!
This week marked the anniversary of the day I lost both my Nan and my dog within an hour or so of each other. I used to help look after my Nan, and Moo was my world, so it is an absolutely horrible day for me.
Writing is my therapy on many an occasion, including this one. If you are going through grief, it is important to know you are not alone and there are organisations you can reach out to, like the ones mentioned in this article.
Handy links.
Well, here’s to another week of waggy wonders and fun stuff!
Warm ‘n’ Fuzzies,
