The World Moves in Mysterious Ways

Those of you that follow Marks blog will know he lives his live by positive thinking. 


Here's an example of a chain of events that lead him to achieving something that he wants to do this year.


We arranged with Lauren last year to go and train at Devon Dogs this Sunday 25 March. Lauren planned a jump skills day for the Saturday 24 the day before. Perfect timing for Rhyme's stage of development. So I booked to go on it.


A few weeks ago we decided to book a Travel Lodge to avoid me having to go down to Okehampton and then back again (or rather avoid the van having to go back and forth). We dragged our heels a bit as Mark would then have to find something to do for the day. Mark being Mark did find something to do involving a long term project he's doing (that is another story and one to look out for on his blog). 


I was still a bit reluctant to book for some reason.


A couple of days later Lauren text as she had a once in a lifetime opportunity to go to Canada that meant she cancelled the jump skills day :(


I was very disappointed after all Rhyme's development is THE most important thing ever and his jump skills could suffer LOL.


Never disappointed for long we thought we could use the day instead to catch up with our nephew and niece (we've got part of a skeleton that Thomas would like) - but you've guessed it they were busy.


Meanwhile Mark happened to see that Rick Wakeman was doing an 'Evening with Rick Wakeman' in a cave in Cornwall on Saturday 24 March :) 
The Travelodge had been non-refundable so was sitting there all un-used so ...............Cornwall back to Devon and Devon Dogs the next day was definitely do-able so suddenly it all came together for us to go. 


Also we will get an afternoon on the beach for the dogs. 


Every one's a winner :)


PS Mark has given Rhyme some lessons and his jumping is coming on just fine.
