Yay, I'm so happy! Today I became a dog instructor! And it wasn't just a weekend course or a couple of hours in an evening. The education started in August and we've had eight weekends (including this one, so once a month) with homework for every weekend. The exams went over the entire weekend. Yesterday we had to hold a lecture lasting between 40-60 minutes in subjects given to us, and today we had to instruct three unknown owners with dogs in a given subject, and also answer two randomly selected questions about anything from the curriculum.

And I passed! Got a diploma and everything. SO happy, been working with this for a year now!

And to make it even better, the school I was attending asked if I wanted to join in instructing in their courses this coming autumn - and they asked that a week ago, even before I had passed my exams! :

Well I finally got that Pokemon Go game on my phone... I've been really excited to try it.

I find it difficult to go outside often... (anxiety) and mostly I just go to appointments or go shopping and go straight home...

I went for a 4km walk last night, I was out for 1.5 hours... and I'm excited to do it again tonight! Me, excited about walk???

This could become a very healthy habit! I need the exercise

**Posted by besleybean** July 17, 2016 9:37 am

My daughter's really enjoying it and I'm quite enjoying going out hunting with her!

**Posted by poorannie13** July 20, 2016 5:43 pm

Oh this game... believe or not, i've never heard of it until last saturday when my brother showed it to me. Well it seemed fun, we were looking for these pokemons... and so the game is on my phone but i can't go outside since sunday. Got sick But the game seems fun, a nice way to make people get out of their houses and have a walk

**Posted by This Is The Phantom Lady** July 20, 2016 8:21 pm

Aw sorry to hear you got sick! Hope you feel better sooon!

I've been walking 3-6 km daily since I got the app, I actually have to 'hold myself back' since my sick spine and hip does have limits of how much I can walk around... It's pretty addictive!

**Posted by poorannie13** July 20, 2016 8:55 pm

Thanks, i think i'm getting better

Oh, is it really so addictive? I can't wait to try it again. I rarely go outside just for a walk myself, as well, now at least there's gonna be a reason
