Singing in the rain

I have to say that this year April's weather was reaččy April-like after a long time. The last 2, 3 years we rarely had to cancel our training because of the rain (but we had to do so in June, July, September…), but this year April was true to itself and served us a great ammount of it already.

I had to cancel two trainings so far – and I rather don't even count how many mud-baths and prolonged braking distances we had on our soaked training place. At least I make good use of the bad weather and teach Sambo stuff and do some studying myself. One exam down, erm, well, 'n' to go (but it still feels good), and Sambo is mastering two new tricks.

During the week we go for walks, herd our friend Klark, click and the weekends are doggie style, what else. Gregor and I seized the opportunity and went to an exotic animal expo one weekend in April, where we made friends with a 3 m long python. One weekend we went for a short hike to the mountains and last weekend was really doggie style as there was an international show in Celje. There I worked as a ring steward the first day and showed my friend's Dobermann the second day. And again after a bunch of dogs I petted I returned to the most beautiful of all :).

The Black Death is feeling like a million bucks, the ants are flying off his pants and once again he's spending more time in the air than on the ground as he spends most of his waking hours skipping around like spring bucks, the gazelles that show off in front of the lions with spectacular jumps. Most of the time the thing is quite amusing, but the other day I didn't feel like smiling at all for a moment cause the little monster dedicated me a biiiiiiig smile 'up, close and personal' – he ran past me and thought it was a good idea if he made me a nice display of his smile right by my face, so that his teeth snapped a cm or two from my left cheek. I wonder what would the lions' reaction be if the spring bucks would start showing their teeth besides prancing around them…
