Rpodyssey

I have been a dog trainer, artist, performer and firefighter for most of my life. I strongly believe in weighing odds, and taking adventures, being kind to animals and people, and having faith in one's own abilities. I believe Canadians are the luckiest people on earth, in spite of some baffling governments we have had and aside from the winters, which actually aren't so bad if we learn to dress for and embrace the weather. I still love catching air on my mountain bike. And I still hate hitting the ground hard. I love dogs. No I mean, I really love them. I have trained dogs professionally since 1995, and have devoted my life to making their lives better and creating pathways to understanding between humans and dogs. I also love art. And most people, if they love dogs.

Pandemonium

About that pandemic: It’s been about 2 months of social distancing and isolation and waiting in long lines to get into stores on weekly grocery trips. A lot of otherwise intelligent people are starting to take conspiracy theories about Covid 19 seriously after watching a really shady, but professionally produced documentary called “Plandemic”.
