Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! First week of advanced puppy classes went really well! Yay puppy class again lol puppy class and puppy training is my life lately. I will be glad when the intense basics are done, but that won’t be the end of it. Since my pups are destined to be my service dogs, and possibly therapy dogs to visit hospitals and old assisted living places (we have so many here). IMO that will be more fine tuning though less intense. Dean is still struggling with stay but he is improving, we love progress. His recall is not to be beat though. He even broke away from playing with his bestie Augie this week to run to mom when I called. Sammie well she had fun showing up literally every dog who even already passed the canine good citizen test and visited her class this week with her stay, lol. Little show off. Her loose leash walking is improving but still her weak spot too, again we love progress though. (this was last weeks teaser I didn’t see that WordPress didn’t post it as scheduled. sorry! So I will use it this week since Dean didnt end up having class anyways cause of Turkey day)

On to this weeks teaser…

“See, that’s the tragedy of the human condition. No one wants to be corrupted by power when they set out to get it. They have good, even noble reasons for doing whatever it is they do. They don’t want to misuse it, they don’t want to abuse it, and they don’t want to become vicious monsters. Good people, decent people, set out to take the high road, to pick up power without letting it change them or push them away from their ideals.
But it keeps happening anyway.
History is full of it. As a rule, people aren’t good at handling power. And the second you start to think you’re better at controlling your power than anyone else, you’ve already taken the first step.”

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! First week of advanced puppy classes went really well! Dean struggled with stay but he did aces at everything else on the list that day. He is a champ at stopping when I stop, loose leash walking, weaving, greeting properly etc. stay is his weak spot but we have been working on it and will keep working on it. Sammie well she aced everything this week and fell in love with her one classmate a Great Dane named Rocket. The feeling is mutual we all found it adorable how smitten they are with each other. I even heard her bark for the first time (she is more of a alerting with her whole body kinda girl) because she was sure a cardboard cut out of a cat was coming for Rocket when he wasn’t looking.

On to this weeks teaser…

“No one just starts giggling and wearing black and signs up to become a villainous monster. How the hell do you think it happens? It happens to people. Just people. They make questionable choices, for what might be very good reasons. They make choice after choice, and none of them is slaughtering roomfuls of saints, or murdering hundreds of baby seals, or rubber-room irrational. But it adds up. And then one day they look around and realized that they’re so far over the line that they can’t remember where it was.”

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone! So PetSmart changed things and the advanced classes that were going to be in Jan are now intermediate which we already did, LOL. SOOOO we start our new round of training this week. I am a little nervous because they will again be the youngest in class and I think the youngest by a lot. However, they are good dogs. Love training and love their trainer. I know he wants us to succeed and our goal is to pass the canine good citizen test on the first go. I have looked over the test and know where our weak spots are so I know what we need to work on. Downside for me is finding time outs..ide of class to work on the items that involve more people (walking around crowds, calmly being pet etc) I will find a way to make it work though. Most of what they do in that area is just puppy behavior anyways. More trips to Lowes in our future lol and the used bookstore that is pet friendly of course!

On to this weeks teaser…

“Souls,” I said. “I mean, you always wonder if they’re real. Even if you believe in them, you still have to wonder: Is my existence just this body? Is there really something more? Do I really have a soul?”

Uriel’s smile blossomed again. “You’ve got it backward, Harry,” he said. “You are a soul. You have a body.”

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone. Halloween was a hit here. Dean had training so I didn’t get to go as big as I wanted to do. It was okay still dressed up and still had fun. Dean loved class, sad this week is the last for now. Both Dean and Sammie have been invited to come to other classes as ambassadors between now and when they start advanced class in January. So we are going to do that for sure. Dean was not the only pup dressed up either which was fun.

On to this weeks teaser…

I always considered myself a loner.

I mean, not like a poor-me, Byron-esque, I-should-have-brought-a-swimming-buddy loner. I mean the sort of person who doesn’t feel too upset about the prospect of a weekend spent seeing no one, and reading good books on the couch. It wasn’t like I was a people hater or anything. I enjoyed activities and the company of friends. But they were a side dish. I always thought I would be happy without them.

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone. Dean has been doing really well on the supplements so I think they will work. He looks less like a bandit and his tummy hair has grown back in as well. Sammie has not stopped picking on him, haha but that is just the usual. They love each other, but they bicker. I am looking forward to their first Halloween.

On to this weeks teaser…

“It bothered me that he was right. Without Sir Stuart’s intervention, I’d have been dead again already.

That’s right–you heard me: dead again already.

I mean, come on. How screwed up is your life (after- or otherwise) when you find yourself needing phrases like that?”

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone. This week Dean has been dealing with some environmental allergies.Poor boy. Vet suggested a supplement before we go onto medications or shots. He has only been on them for a few days but they do seem to be helping, so fingers crossed.He has lost some hair around his eyes so looks like a backwards bandit. Sammie for her part is picking on him as usual LOL.

On to this weeks teaser…

“Jump into an open grave? What kind of idiot are you?” Butters replied. “I might as well put on a red shirt and volunteer for the away team. There’s snow and ice and slippery mud down there. That’s like asking for an ironically broken neck.”

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone. Training is still going great! Both pups are doing fantastic and Sammie is having fun bringing home new tricks to Dean since her class is so much smaller. She learned spin this week along with working on the other obedience training work. I really do love watching these two learn, they are so smart and such great little sponges.

On to this weeks teaser…

“Gandalf never had this kind of problem.
He had exactly this problem, actually, standing in front of the hidden Dwarf door to Moria. Remember when . . .
I sighed. Sometimes my inner monologue annoys even me. “Edro, edro,” I muttered. “Open.” I rubbed at the bridge of my nose and ventured, “Mellon.”
Nothing happened. The wards stayed. I guessed the Corpsetaker had never read Tolkien. Tasteless bitch.”

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone. Thank you for the well wishes, I thankfully was only sick for a couple of days. Monday and Tuesday were the worst. Thursday I was all better which was good because Dean started his next round of school. I masked and made sure to make sure everyone was okay with me being there as I had a cold so recently. They all appreciated that but said it was fine. Its a great new class, none of his old friends but we DID see one of the pet parents from his puppy class and he was so excited! Sammie started her class on Sunday and she was a star, I think she was showing off for the new (to her) trainer lol. Her class is also much smaller only two other dogs and one didn’t show this week. Made things very fun though we did some tricks as well as the regular commands. If we do the stool tricks again I have to try to get some pictures she was so good at it!

On to this weeks teaser…

“Courage is about learning how to function despite the fear, to put aside your instincts to run or give in completely to the anger born from fear. Courage is about using your brain and your heart when every cell of your body is screaming at your to fight or flee – and then following through on what you believe is the right thing to do.”

Ambrosia’s little note:

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone. I am here today. I think LOL. I am officially sick haha. Thankfully just a cold but a bad one and I admit I am being a bit of a baby about it. I had a good run with not being sick sick. Hopefully I can fight it off fast. I don’t want to miss Dean’s first intermediate class on Thursday. Thankfully I can rest today and tomorrow. So fingers crossed. Bless my Dean and Sammie they are being extra cuddly tonight. They can tell mama doesn’t feel good. At any rate…

On to this weeks teaser…

“Oh,” the girl said, shaking her head. “Don’t be so simple. People adore monsters. They fill their songs and stories with them. They define themselves in relation to them. You know what a monster is, young shade? Power. Power and choice. Monsters make choices. Monsters shape the world. Monsters force us to become stronger, smarter, better. They sift the weak from the strong and provide a forge for the steeling of souls. Even as we curse monsters, we admire them. Seek to become them, in some ways.” Her eyes became distant. “There are far, far worse things to be than a monster.”

Happy Teaser Tuesday everyone. Sorry about missing last week, no holiday excuse this time it was a fibro flare cause my schedule changed. Of course that happened. LOL to make up for it here is some cute grad pics of the puppies. Deans teacher didn’t do the hat thing that is okay though!

 

On to this weeks teaser…

“Star Trek?” I asked her. “Really?”
“What?” she demanded, bending unnaturally black eyebrows together.
“There are two kinds of people in the universe, Molly,” I said. “Star Trek fans and Star Wars fans. This is shocking.”
She sniffed. “This is the post-nerd-closet world, Harry. It’s okay to like both.”
“Blasphemy and lies,” I said.”
