Nighly Walk with Matilda

Just got back from my nightly walk with Matilda. I am trying to train her to NOT be the pack leader. I am afraid Robb and I have created a monster in the form of a pack leader. She gets the exact opposite of what the Dog Whisperer recommends...He says, exercise, discipline and then affection. She gets too much affection, a little discipline, and some exercise. So I am working on the commands we learned in Dog Training class and I am not sure it is working. I did manage to get a treat from a kind neighbor who leaves treats out for the taking. So I used the power of food to rehearse the commands and she is getting back in the swing of things, but it will be a slow process.

Joined the DailyMile.com tonight for some help with the new fitness regime I hope to get to in the New Year. Also bought a calendar to schedule my exercise time. Much to my disappointment I found out the group fitness classes at the gym won't resume till January 4th. So I will have to put some effort into working out at home, on the treadmills or on the roads.

Well that about does it for today. Another 2 days of work and then another 4 day weekend. I am looking forward to it. Some more time to catch up on things and start the new year off right.

Night all.
