I want him to be as happy and confident in competition as he is in training, but I know that this might be an impossible task. I think I need to continue trying to be more aware of when he is mentally struggling. I also need to learn how to accept that knowledge, to recover and move on from the frustration and disappointment it often carries.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/kayanem\/8164220432\/\" title=\"Play by kayanem, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8487\/8164220432_3d71634d5d.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"309\" alt=\"Play\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>For Rio, I&#8217;d like her to be happy and confident when she starts competing. I don&#8217;t want to pile expectations on her, especially during this first year. That&#8217;s as much as I&#8217;ll say, because otherwise I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll say something to jinx her or inadvertantly add a bit more pressure. I just want to have fun, and since that&#8217;s Rio&#8217;s outlook on life as well, I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;ll go far wrong.<\/p>\n<p>The old ladies are sadly ever older. Kim is always chipper, she likes sleeping and lounging and barking (always always barking). Her body maybe isn&#8217;t what it was but it can still do everything she wants it to, and her mind is as sharp as it ever was. Mollie isn&#8217;t feeling well right now, which is worrying for all of us, and I will blog about that when I know more.<\/p>\n<p>Onwards to 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I didn&#8217;t have any goals for 2012, but it was an interesting year.
