blog reboot

I started this blog about six months after Maya came home.  At the time, I was awfully fond of Maya, but also often very frustrated and unhappy.  In a nutshell: Maya has a lot of issues, and life with her has not always been easy.  When the negativity and misery got too much, I quit writing; I just didn't have much to say. 

Things are better now, although often still challenging.  I wish I were a better dog trainer, and I wish Maya found life in the human world easier.  But most of the time, we are happy and we love being together.

Tomorrow, Maya turns 2 years old.  I am hoping that this is a year full of great adventures, unfolding potential, and simple fun, for both of us.  In that spirit, and because I know I'll appreciate having written some of the journey down, I am re-starting this blog. 

Happy birthday, sweet dog.
