I will always believe in the extraordinary power of... God to change all predicaments! Do you believe it? Just as God parted the Red Sea for the Israelites, He can also help us overcome all obstacles. For God’s power surpasses everything, and all things are in His hands. As long as we sincerely rely on God, we can receive His guidance and find the way out of our predicaments. God says: “The heavens and earth and all things are established and made complete by the words I utter, and with Me, anything can be accomplished.” “It is very simple now: Look upon Me with your heart, and your spirit will immediately grow strong. You will have a path to practice, and I will guide your every step. My word shall be revealed to you at all times and in all places. No matter where or when, or how adverse the environment is, I will make you see clearly, and My heart shall be revealed to you if you look to Me with yours; in this manner, you will run down the road ahead and never lose your way.” "show more

Laser treatment is a modern medical technique that can... reduce or even remove wound marks (scars) by carefully targeting the skin with concentrated light energy. It's commonly used in. When a laser is applied to a scar, it works in two main ways. First, it removes the damaged outer layer of skin, allowing fresh, healthier skin to grow in its place. Second, it stimulates the production of collagen-a protein that helps keep skin smooth and firm. Over time, this process can make scars appear lighter, flatter, and less noticeable. There are different types of lasers used depending on the scar. For example, ablative lasers remove thin layers of skin, while non-ablative lasers go deeper without damaging the surface. These treatments are often used for acne scars, surgical scars, and injury marks. However, complete removal is not always guaranteed-most treatments significantly improve the appearance rather than erase scars completely. The procedure is usually quick and done by a dermatologist, but it may require multiple sessions. Some redness, swelling, or mild discomfort can occur afterward, and proper aftercare is important for healing. In simple terms, laser treatment doesn't magically erase scars-it helps your skin repair itself in a more even and natural way.show more

Robots can now reconstruct 3D scenes in real time... from a single RGB camera. [📍 Projects page + paper] No depth sensor. No retraining. 30 FPS. Researchers at the Imperial College London introduced KV-Tracker, a training-free method that makes heavy models like π³ and Depth Anything 3 fast enough for real-time tracking. The idea is simple. These models use global self-attention, which is powerful but computationally expensive. KV-Tracker caches the key and value pairs from selected keyframes and reuses them for new frames. That cache becomes an implicit scene representation. Result: • Up to 30 FPS • 10 to 15x speedup • Accurate 6-DoF tracking on benchmarks like TUM RGB-D and 7-Scenes • Works with monocular RGB only It also supports object-level tracking with masks and allows saving the KV-cache for later reuse. For robotics, this reduces hardware constraints and moves real-time 3D perception closer to practical deployment.

Hills I will die on as someone who has... coached high school football for over 29 years: 1. If you are not PASSIONATE about blessing, serving, and empowering those you are blessed to coach, this profession is not for you. 2. As much as we need to know our trade, getting to know (and to love), our players is far more important. 3. This is an INTENSE game, and it’ll never be “just a game”, but it IS a game. Remember that when you’re with your team, and more importantly, remember that when you’re with your family. 4. Just as we teach our athletes to “leave things better than they found them”, we need to leave our athletes better than they were when they first entered into our program. Never let a day pass without pouring into each and every individual. 5. Life is complicated enough, let’s not complicate the game in such a way that we take the joy of it away from others. In other words… Keep it simple. 6. Our words carry little (or NO), value, if we don’t practice what we preach. WE as coaches should be learning and growing each and every day, just as we expect our athletes to. 7. As much as we all want to win those championship rings for our athletes, make sure you don’t lose your wedding ring in the process. 8. The athlete that may be “difficult to reach/teach” (the one who may get on your last nerve more than you could ever imagine), is someone’s EVERYTHING. Get to know them as human beings, find out what motivates them, and do everything you can to help them to thrive. 9. Be where your feet are. Don’t fall into the trap of chasing logos and thinking that a higher division, a bigger school, or going from HS to college, or even college to the pros, is going to be more rewarding or fulfilling. 10. The legacy you leave as a coach will never be determined by your wins and losses, but by the lives you were able to change for the better!show more

Is it just me or have American car companies... turned to absolute junk 💩 This is why we have Toyota, Subaru, and Honda in my household. The Japanese actually make really great cars and my favorite is Toyota. Toyota has earned its reputation as one of the best car companies in the world by doing something deceptively simple: building vehicles that keep working. While many manufacturers chase flashy technology, complicated drivetrains, and constant redesigns, Toyota has traditionally placed enormous emphasis on reliability, durability, and manufacturing quality. Engines and transmissions are often refined over many years rather than replaced simply for the sake of novelty. That conservative engineering philosophy is a major reason so many Toyotas routinely survive 200,000 or even 300,000 miles with basic maintenance. Toyota’s quality control is another major advantage. The company’s famous production system emphasizes consistency, identifying defects early, and continuously improving manufacturing processes. That attention to detail translates into vehicles that tend to age gracefully, with fewer catastrophic failures and strong resale values. Models like the Camry, Corolla, 4Runner, Tacoma, Land Cruiser, and Prius have built decades-long reputations for dependability. In many parts of the world, Toyotas are chosen for difficult conditions precisely because owners trust them to start every morning and keep going. Toyota is not always the fastest, most luxurious, or most exciting manufacturer. That is almost the point. A great car should not constantly demand your attention. It should quietly carry your family, commute every day, survive road trips, and still be running years after the payments are gone. Toyota’s greatest luxury is they actually freakin' work. Now can we please make the Hilux legal in the United States again?show more

So let's talk about what Rick Jackson really means... here, and why it shows he should not be governor. At a press event, Mr. Jackson said that “not having [health] insurance in Georgia does not mean you don’t have healthcare.” It is a common trope used by Republicans to avoid addressing our high uninsurance rates, particularly in Medicaid non-expansion states like ours. What he is likely referring to is EMTALA, a 1980s federal law that states patients who go to the emergency room must be seen and receive "stabilizing care" before discharge. If you show up at an ER bleeding to death, for example, the hospital needs to at least address the cause of the bleeding before sending you on your way. That is not "healthcare" in the sense that most people think of it. That is battlefield triage. EMTALA does not provide for maintenance healthcare--non-emergent treatment of hypertension, or diabetes, or heart disease. EMTALA does not require preventative care, like cancer screenings or annual physicals. EMTALA does not require coverage for medications, prenatal care, mental healthcare, outside of emergencies. EMTALA, essentially, puts into statute a principle that no one should need explained. If someone needs urgent care, you help them, regardless of their insurance status. But it does not cover the costs for that care. Nor does not provide a mechanism for hospitals and providers to recoup the expense of providing that care. What this means in a state like Georgia, with among the highest rates of health uninsurance in the country, is that more uninsured patients will put off preventative and maintenance care because they can't afford it. They will present to the ER only when they have to, sicker than they needed to be, incur the most expensive form of healthcare possible (catastrophic care through the ED), and then be unable to cover those costs out of pocket. Who ends up eating those costs? The providers. The hospitals. The state. The taxpayers. Rick Jackson, the multibillionaire healthcare staffing company CEO who is now running for governor, doesn't think this is a problem for the state he is trying to lead, even as state agencies are being told to tighten their belts and we anticipate revenue shortfalls. This putative healthcare business expert can't see the issue with insisting that he will refuse to expand Medicaid and avail patients of the coverage they need, funded by the federal tax dollars we’ve already been paying for more than a decade. And he wants to tell the rest of us who understand the issue that we're wrong. This man cannot be the next governor of Georgia. Our healthcare system could not survive a Governor Jackson.show more

Vector Database by Hand ✍️ Vector databases are revolutionizing... how we search and analyze complex data. They have become the backbone of Retrieval Augmented Generation (#RAG). How do vector databases work? [1] Given ↳ A dataset of three sentences, each has 3 words (or tokens) ↳ In practice, a dataset may contain millions or billions of sentences. The max number of tokens may be tens of thousands (e.g., 32,768 mistral-7b). Process "how are you" [2] 🟨 Word Embeddings ↳ For each word, look up corresponding word embedding vector from a table of 22 vectors, where 22 is the vocabulary size. ↳ In practice, the vocabulary size can be tens of thousands. The word embedding dimensions are in the thousands (e.g., 1024, 4096) [3] 🟩 Encoding ↳ Feed the sequence of word embeddings to an encoder to obtain a sequence of feature vectors, one per word. ↳ Here, the encoder is a simple one layer perceptron (linear layer + ReLU) ↳ In practice, the encoder is a transformer or one of its many variants. [4] 🟩 Mean Pooling ↳ Merge the sequence of feature vectors into a single vector using "mean pooling" which is to average across the columns. ↳ The result is a single vector. We often call it "text embeddings" or "sentence embeddings." ↳ Other pooling techniques are possible, such as CLS. But mean pooling is the most common. [5] 🟦 Indexing ↳ Reduce the dimensions of the text embedding vector by a projection matrix. The reduction rate is 50% (4->2). ↳ In practice, the values in this projection matrix is much more random. ↳ The purpose is similar to that of hashing, which is to obtain a short representation to allow faster comparison and retrieval. ↳ The resulting dimension-reduced index vector is saved in the vector storage. [6] Process "who are you" ↳ Repeat [2]-[5] [7] Process "who am I" ↳ Repeat [2]-[5] Now we have indexed our dataset in the vector database. [8] 🟥 Query: "am I you" ↳ Repeat [2]-[5] ↳ The result is a 2-d query vector. [9] 🟥 Dot Products ↳ Take dot product between the query vector and database vectors. They are all 2-d. ↳ The purpose is to use dot product to estimate similarity. ↳ By transposing the query vector, this step becomes a matrix multiplication. [10] 🟥 Nearest Neighbor ↳ Find the largest dot product by linear scan. ↳ The sentence with the highest dot product is "who am I" ↳ In practice, because scanning billions of vectors is slow, we use an Approximate Nearest Neighbor (ANN) algorithm like the Hierarchical Navigable Small Worlds (HNSW).show more

HTML Artifacts are a big part of how I... work with agents now. Artifacts can be more than just static files. When combined with agents, they can take action or help you take action. This unlocks all kinds of interesting ways to work with agents. This is clearly the future. Check out this writing and scheduler artifact I built in a few minutes. It uses a bit of HTML and JS. All the data is in markdown (Obsidian vaults), so the agent can access and modify it at any time. No DB needed. No sophisticated functionalities. The agent decides all that for me based on the skills, context, and memory it has access to. The best part about this simple stack is that all the important information stays with me. This has allowed me to build a recursive self-improving system and automations that can better tap into coding agents like Codex or Claude Code. I could have paid or built an entire app for scheduling posts, and there are so many of them out there. But I don't need to. I've realized a simple artifact does the job. And the simplicity of it is actually an advantage. Very little maintenance for very high returns on personalization, time, and efficiency. The other benefit of this is that I can add features as I please. That level of personalization feels magical, and we should all be pursuing more of it. All of this just keeps compounding. Of course, this example is just about writing. But I have similar artifacts for research, design, experimentation, evaluation, and so much more. And no, I didn't actually publish the post example I shared in the clip. It was just for demonstration purposes. I actually spend more time than this when writing together with agents. Lastly, having built my own agent orchestrator tool has made me realize that simplifying the tool stack is a superpower. If you are curious about how all this works, I will do a live session next week:show more

Today was my hardest workout before the Javelina 100—an... uphill treadmill supercompensation session accumulating 60 minutes of intervals at 10% grade, starting at threshold and ending harder. I think uphill treadmill threshold sessions can be magical for some athletes. Threshold work is classically defined as LT2 or easier, around what you could sustain for 1 hour. In practice, that feels relatively relaxed at first, and it only starts to get harder after you accumulate a substantial amount of volume. The rationale of threshold work is that it improves lactate shuttling, helping mitochondria be more efficient at processing and transporting lactate, preventing fatigue cascades even at harder efforts on other days (or at easier efforts in marathons or ultras). In other words, it’s primarily an aerobic stress. Faster is not better. The real-world obstacles with threshold work are twofold. First, for most of us, it’s pretty slow when done right, or way too hard when done wrong. A study on the training of elite athletes found that long intervals had the lowest correlation with long-term growth, and this conundrum is probably why—athletes do their long intervals too hard, breaking themselves down without the mechanical or aerobic stimulus to justify it. Second, outdoor threshold work can be an injury risk. If I tried this workout outdoors, it would wreck my calves and high hamstrings for days. The uphill treadmill can help athletes get around these hurdles. It’s slower by design, putting the emphasis squarely on the aerobic system. That helps athletes develop a much more precise understanding of threshold. But perhaps most significantly, the uphill treadmill reduces impact forces immensely. When I finish one of these—even a supercompensation session—I feel fine the next day, allowing me to absorb way more work (and more specific work to my goals). Particularly with age, I find that running training is about managing the efforts that are high impact to be limited and focused. While most of the uphill treadmill work I do is very controlled, it’s also ok to occasionally dig deeper. Today was about supercompensation. It’s not called The Pain Cave for nothing 🔥show more

MiniMax H3 Character Introduction Prompt: Use @[char ref] as... the sole character reference. Preserve the exact identity, face, body proportions, hairstyle, outfit, colors, materials and overall silhouette of the character throughout the entire video. Do not redesign, simplify or replace any defining visual features. Create a cinematic character introduction focused on presence, silhouette, attitude and controlled motion. 0–4s Begin with a close shot of a defining lower-body or detail element such as boots, shoes, feet, hands, clothing hem or an important accessory. The character enters frame or settles into position. The camera slowly tracks upward while hair, clothing and secondary elements move naturally in the wind or environment. 4–8s Reveal more of the body with a medium or medium-wide shot from the back, side or three-quarter angle. The character stands in a calm, composed way inside the environment. The camera makes a smooth orbit, arc or lateral move to gradually reveal the character’s face and silhouette. 8–12s Move into a tight cinematic portrait or upper-body shot. The character performs one subtle signature action that fits their personality, such as lifting the chin, turning the head, adjusting clothing, brushing hair aside, opening a hand, looking toward camera, or shifting posture. Keep the motion minimal and intentional. The expression should match the character’s vibe. 12–15s End with a strong full-body hero shot that clearly presents the entire design and silhouette. Use a low-angle, eye-level or slightly dramatic framing depending on the character’s personality. The character settles into a natural final pose and holds it confidently for a clean final reveal. VISUAL DIRECTION Premium cinematic presentation. Match the visual medium and rendering style of @[char ref]. Emphasize clean silhouette, elegant staging, subtle secondary motion, believable hair and cloth movement, strong composition, atmospheric depth and polished lighting. The scene should feel like a high-end anime, game or film character introduction. CAMERA Use a clear progression from detail reveal to partial reveal to face reveal to full-body hero reveal. Camera movement should be smooth, controlled and intentional. Avoid chaotic motion. ENVIRONMENT Place the character in a fitting environment that supports their identity and mood. The background should enhance the character without distracting from them.show more

🚨 SosoValue Season 2 Airdrop – Eligibility Criteria -Not... Eligible & Eligible 😤 Many users are confused after the latest official update, so here’s a simple and clear breakdown: First, completing 15% to 120% does NOT mean you’ll get more tokens just because you completed more. 👉 That percentage actually represents your “human probability score” — basically how likely you are considered as a real user. Higher % = Higher chance you are treated as a real human Lower % = Lower trust score So if you’ve completed 100% or more, your probability of being eligible is higher compared to others. Now the important part 👇 Total accounts: ~110 million 😳 Total tokens to distribute: 30 million This clearly means: 👉 Supply is very limited 👉 Users are extremely high Also, it’s estimated that 80–90% of accounts may be fake or low-quality. What does this mean for YOU? The more % you unlock, the better your chances But eligibility is NOT guaranteed ⚠️ Even users with 60%–100% completion may NOT qualify if competition is too high. Final takeaway: 👉 Your eligibility depends on: Your % (human probability score) Overall competition Token supply vs users So aim for the highest % possible, but understand that this is a probability-based system, not a guaranteed reward. If you want, tell me your % unlocked + EXP, and I can estimate your chances 👇 SoSoValue #Airdrop #CryptoAirdrop #SosoValue #CryptoNews #Web3 #CryptoUpdates #sosovalueeligivlecriteria #sosovalueairdorpupdateshow more

“A Mark Carney-led government will balance the OPERATING budget... in three years. at the same time, we will run a small deficit on CAPITAL spending.” -Mark Carney I want you to listen very carefully to what Finance Minister Champagne is saying in this video. He is talking about a balanced OPERATIONAL budget. An operational budget refers only to the expenses of running the country. It does not include incredibly expensive CAPITAL expenses. Instead, Minister Champagne refers to capital expenses as investments. THAT IS COMPLETE DISHONESTY. There is no G20 country that has this type of accounting practice. This is important to understand because Canada must go to the bond market to raise money. The bond market does not give a damn how you categorize your debt. Whether it's operational or capital spending, the deeper you get into debt the higher the rate of interest you will have to pay on that debt. In essence, both Carney and Champagne are grossly misleading the Canadian public by telling them that they will balance the operational budget. They're hoping that you don't understand how budgets work, and the truth is they will likely get away with it. Expect a massive increase in our national debt under a Carney government.

INTRODUCTION TO THE STOCK MARKET The stock market is... a place where individuals and institutions buy and sell ownership in companies (called shares or stocks). When you buy a share, you’re essentially buying a small piece of that company and participating in its growth, profits, and risks. People invest in the stock market to grow wealth over time, earn dividends, protect against inflation, and build long-term financial security. Unlike short-term trading, investing focuses on patience, discipline, and owning quality businesses. --- INTRODUCTION TO THE NIGERIAN STOCK MARKET (NGX) The Nigerian Exchange Group (NGX) is Nigeria’s official stock exchange, where publicly listed Nigerian companies trade their shares. It hosts banks, telecoms, industrial firms, consumer goods companies, oil & gas firms, and more. Through the NGX, everyday Nigerians can own parts of companies like banks, manufacturing firms, telecom operators, and other major businesses driving the economy. Returns come from: Capital appreciation (share price increases) Dividends (cash payouts from profits) The NGX is regulated, structured, and accessible to both local and foreign investors through licensed platforms. --- HOW TO GET STARTED INVESTING IN NGX (TWO SIMPLE WAYS) Today, you don’t need to walk into a stockbroking office. You can get started fully online using digital investment platforms. Below are two popular and easy options that I personally use; --- 1) GETTING STARTED WITH BAMBOO Bamboo Bamboo is a digital investment app that allows Nigerians to invest in Nigerian stocks (NGX) and foreign stocks. Steps to get started: 1. Download the Bamboo app from the App Store or Google Play. 2. Create an account with your email and phone number. 3.

A viral paper "Language Model Represents Space and Time"... recently claims that LLMs learn "world models". As much as I like Max Tegmark's works, I disagree with their definition of world model. World model is a core concept in AI agent and decision making. It is our mental simulation of how the world works given interventions (or lack thereof). A world model captures causality and intuitive physics, telling the agent what is likely and what is impossible. It can and should be used for counterfactual reasoning, i.e. "what ifs": what would happen if I knock over a cup of water? Where would I have been if I had not taken that bus? Yann LeCun Yann LeCun says it well in his position paper ( I quote: "Using such world models, animals can learn new skills with very few trials. They can predict the consequences of their actions, they can reason, plan, explore, and imagine new solutions to problems. Importantly, they can also avoid making dangerous mistakes when facing an unknown situation." The first use of the term World Model in deep policy learning is attributed to hardmaru & Jürgen Schmidhuber: In their seminal paper, an agent masters shooting skills in the popular game Doom (demo below) by learning in imagination, using an internal world model as a "physics simulator". To put in a simple Python math formula, world model learns a function F(s[0:t-1], a) -> s[t:], which takes as input the observed past and current action, and outputs plausible future states. Now the definition of World Model in Tegmark's paper seems to be about predicting GPS coordinates and time eras. I see this as just a classification task with no causal learning and simulation going on. You cannot make meaningful interventions against that model, nor can you optimize any decision making in a closed feedback loop. As for the "space & time neurons", I think they are most similar to the "sentiment neuron" that OpenAI published in 2017: Predicting GPS is conceptually no different from predicting sentiment in my opinion. I don't think their experimental results are wrong - just that their conclusion is on shaky grounds. I welcome any debate! Paper link:show more

Nobody’s perfect. This week I’ve been exploring attachment, a... deep emotional bond between infants and their parents. In prior posts we’ve discussed four different attachment styles, with an emphasis on the most desirable and healthy of them all: secure attachment. Yesterday I emphasized that attachment styles result not from how you interact with your child SOME of the time, but how you interact ALL of the time - by which I mean that the totality of your interactions and the consistent and predictable patterns you establish with your child are what determines these outcomes. For this reason, your default mode should be warm and responsive. But today I want to insert a small, but important, caveat. Or at least a little more nuance. Nobody’s perfect. Nobody. As a well-intentioned parent it’s easy to hold yourself to an impossibly high standard. And that’s a recipe for fueling your own anxiety and ill health. The truth is that you can’t be instantly responsive 24/7 to your child’s every possible need. This isn’t an excuse to slack off. But it is a reminder to be kind to yourself. Parents are human. And we all have our lesser moments. We can be moody, stressed, exhausted... Sometimes we’re upset. Or distracted. And sometimes you need to take a shower. Or answer a knock on the door. Life happens. And the last thing I want you to take away from this conversation is a sense that any missed opportunity - or even the occasional boneheaded mistake - will cause your child irreparable harm. Instead think of attachment kind of like a jury might in a civil trial: what does the preponderance of the evidence suggest? Are you ALMOST always meeting your mark? If so, take this post as a little peace of mind. Secure attachment doesn’t require a perfect report card. If it did, secure attachments likely wouldn’t exist. The late pediatrician Donald Winnicot is credited with the concept of “good enough parenting” - which I’ve always found to be a really useful frame. This same concept holds true for lots of other advice that I’ve offered, by the way. Do you want to plop your baby in front of a screen all day? Absolutely not. Is it realistic to think they’ll never be exposed to one? Also probably not. Parenting isn’t an all or nothing proposition. So aim high… but give yourself a little grace. As instructed in this video posted to IG by digitalmumincome, I’m sharing it to let you know you’re doing an amazing job. (If you read regularly you’ll know this child is actually in active sleep - which sometimes includes eye opening… and most likely smiling reflexively…but it’s cute and its other message fits today’s post. So just enjoy!)show more

🚨 THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE 🚨 🚨NOBODY UNDERSTANDS... WHAT THEY JUST TRIGGERED. 🚨 🚨 People always talk about Iranian oil in terms of barrels, but rarely about what’s actually inside them. That’s the key difference—and the reason Western refineries have quietly relied on back-channel networks through places like Dubai for years to keep getting it, even under sanctions. Crude oil isn’t all the same. It’s a mix of hydrocarbons with different molecular weights, and that mix determines how easily it can be turned into the fuels refineries actually sell—like gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and heating oil. The main measure here is API gravity. Higher API means lighter crude that’s easier and cheaper to refine, and it produces more of those high-value fuels. Lower API means heavier crude that takes more energy, more processing, and more expensive equipment, while producing more low-value leftovers. Iranian Light crude sits right in a sweet spot, with an API gravity around 33–36 and moderate sulfur levels. It’s light enough to produce a lot of gasoline and middle distillates without high costs, but not so light that it limits what refineries can make. In industry terms, it’s close to an ideal blend. Now look at the alternatives. Venezuela’s Merey crude is much heavier, with very low API gravity and high sulfur. Refining it profitably requires specialized, expensive equipment like cokers and hydrocrackers. Some refineries are built for that—but it’s not interchangeable with Iranian crude. It’s a completely different type of input. On the other end, US West Texas Intermediate is very light and low in sulfur. Sounds perfect in theory, but in practice it’s almost too light. Many refineries—especially in Europe and Asia—are designed for medium-grade crude, so they can’t just switch to WTI. They often have to blend it with heavier oils to make it work. That’s where Iranian crude stands out. It fits right into the middle of the system. It doesn’t need the heavy-duty processing of Venezuelan oil or the blending adjustments required for ultra-light US shale. That balance is why it’s consistently in demand and often priced at a premium. It also explains why countries like India kept buying it despite sanctions, and why those complex trading networks through Dubai existed in the first place. The Strait of Hormuz isn’t just a route for oil—it’s a route for this specific kind of oil that global refineries are optimized to process. If that flow gets disrupted, it’s not just about losing supply. It’s about losing the type of crude the system runs most efficiently on, forcing refineries to adapt with less suitable alternatives. That’s what’s really baked into oil prices like $82—not just how much oil is available, but what kind it is.show more

I'm Chesnyy—CKC high-point Rottweiler in rally obedience for the... last two years. 🏆🐾 But last season was ruff. Static from the wheelchair tires caused shocks when I heeled, and twice the floor mats caught in the castors and the entire floor started to chase me...I started getting suspicious any time we went in a ring. It didn't feel fun anymore. And there were a lot of other life changes last year so we were already dealing with stress. And trust me, us dogs can smell human stress a mile away and it does affect us. We took the fall and winter off from trials—no rings, no judges. Just my regular work days, treats, snoozes, and puppy adventures. Now we're back: we're easing our way in. Instead of going right back to Master level rounds, we're starting back at intermediate AND advanced rounds this weekend. This will make sure neither the human or I get too stressed. And yeah—we're the only wheelchair-handler team around so sometimes between travel, unloading, set-up, and dealing with accessibility challenges she's already running on empty before we hit the ring entrance. This practice 🎥? Tail doing happy waves, grin locked in. No zaps, no floor monsters—just happy paws and us owning it. If this makes you smile, hit like or share? Helps us keep rolling. (Bacon still welcome, though.) 💕 #RallyObedience #WheelchairTeam #CKCTopDog #RottieComebackshow more
