I’ve got 99 problems, but #K9Kamp ain’t one

You have no idea how much I’m dying to change that “ain’t” to an “isn’t” – I’m feeling twitchy about it. Really twitchy. Anyway…

So, as you may have noticed, posts have slowed a bit around these parts. September and October have teamed up to kick my ass, but not in a useful, personal trainer way. Instead, they’ve just conspired to keep me from relaxing and having any free time to recharge and work on the blog. (Don’t get me wrong – some of the busy is fun or fun-adjacent. Some of it, however, is the opposite of that.)

In addition to September and October refusing to pack in a few more days so I can get things done, other forces have conspired to keep me from my gym, which is currently closed for the foreseeable future. I was finally in a routine, too. Le sigh. So, I’m basically a hot mess right now on all fronts.

Enter K9 Kamp.

This month’s challenge? Do more.

Um…

I’ll admit – my first instinct upon learning this month’s challenge was to turn off my laptop, put it in a box, put that box in the closet, secure that closet with a padlock, and swallow the key. (My second instinct was to return the padlock and key and purchase a combination lock instead. Why swallow a key – a key, people – when I could just tear up the paper with the combination?) The idea of somehow doing “more” this month seemed… daunting. (Heck, even this post is late.)

However, my crippling Internet addiction weighed against placing my laptop in quarantine, so here I am. Also, considering the gym embargo, I most certainly do need to be doing more. This month, K9 Kamp is encouraging its campers (kampers?) to get active with your dog, 30 to 40 minutes extra, three to four times per week. The theme is fitness fun and games. Bella was excited when tug appeared on that list, so I guess I have no choice but to go for it. I’m working on a plan to get moving…

Will you be joining us at Kamp? Head on over to Kol’s Notes and Peggy’s Pet Place to find out more about this session and to find out how you can win some great prizes, including some fabulous handmade jewelry from For Love of a Dog.

  1. I can totally relate to wanting a few more days each month, or to wanting to pack up the computer and lock it away (the internet addiction also holds me back).
    And when they say an ADDITIONAL 30 minutes….3 to 4 times per week….I can’t help but think that I’m lucky to be able to squeeze in the 30 original minutes that many days!
    But, again, like you, I’m going to try to do it…..fun and games sounds really good, right? 🙂

    • I hear you Jan! That “extra” is why we call it a challenge! But, I figure it’s only for 4 weeks and afterward, I alway remember that it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. I’m going to be sharing some ideas on Monday at Kol’s Notes on how to get sneaky with those extra minutes. I honestly barely even noticed them this week. It doesn’t have to be 30 minutes all at once!
