Here’s To Tennis Weather!

The Redwood Shores Tennis Club’s tennis season is underway — at last! Rainy days are behind us (fingers crossed.) April Team Tennis was a sweet delight. It felt so good to get some exercise, see some friends, meet new members, and knock a fuzzy little ball around. Either we were ALL ‘that good’ or none of us were really trying that hard but all 4 teams ended up very close in scores and 2 of the teams tied for first place. The prizes were Girl Scout Cookies (Girl Scouts turned 100 this year!) There was some horse trading afterwards so that everyone could get their preferred flavor.

Due to a temporary brain lapse, we scheduled our May tournament for the Memorial Day Weekend.

We’d love socializing and good food — try us out. For more information, visit www.rstc.org

Fashion Forward: Toss, Tweak or Keep?

Posted on by

Here’s a little checklist to help you decide which pieces of clothing in your closet are wardrobe-worthy. Be honest…

Does it fit you NOW or will it take 6 months of dieting before it does? Are you going to lose the weight? Will it even be in style by the time you do? If you think it will work for you, keep and tweak. If not – toss.

Does it flatter your figure NOW? Let’s face it – our bodies change over time. What looked good 10 or even 5 years ago may be a lot less flattering now. Get rid of what doesn’t work for you.

Does it make me feel sexy, attractive or confident? If yes, you’ve got a keeper on your hands. Make sure it’s in regular use or else get rid of it.

Does it bring out my favorite qualities and/or what image I want to project? Is your closet full of clothes that represent things you used to do, but don’t anymore? Make sure your clothes represent the image of who you are NOW. Let the past go and start dressing for the present.

Has it lost its luster? White (and black) tees frequently fall into this category, but there may be other items that are just too “tired” to be worn in public in longer. Toss them and get fresh replacements if they’re something you love.

Would I buy it again? If the answer is no, let it go. If the answer is yes and you love this piece but don’t know how to wear it, it’s time to call your image consultant.

Greeting Other Dogs on the Trail

Posted on by
Reply

When your dog barks at other dogs you pass on the trail, he may be giving the other dog an invitation to play. Dogs are social creatures; and since so many of them live in one-dog households, the chance to interact with other dogs is very exciting. Some dogs bark to say, “Hey, I want to meet or play with you. NOW! NOW! NOW!” Puppy barking frequently falls into this category. These barks are generally high pitched, and are often accompanied by wagging “propeller tails,” loose or wiggly body language, play bows and jumping.

Ask those dog owners who would like to interact with your dog to wait for calm, quiet behavior from your dog before greeting to avoid reinforcing the behavior. If your dog strains at the leash when you pass other dogs and barks non-stop at the dog, you are probably pulling the leash taut and transferring your tension, stress and fear down the leash to the dog. Now the dog feels he is the pack leader and has to defend both of you. The barking ramps up even more; and soon you find yourself dreading walking or meeting other dogs. A dog who knows you are the pack leader and who walks beside you — not in front will be less likely to have fear or defensive barking at other dogs.

You need to train your dog to look at you with the “watch me” command to distract your dog as you approach another dog. First encounters with a friendly dog should just be “walk-bys” several times with the emphasis on getting your dog to look at you and away from the other dog with a treat lure and sounds. Once you consistently have your dog’s attention, you can advance to having your dog sit quietly at your side as the dog passes. After this stage you can allow your dog to sniff and greet the other dog while keeping the leash loose.

Enjoy a well-mannered dog that is an asset to your family. Invest in training to transform your dog into the best friend you have always wanted.

Call Jean Cary for an evaluation and a customized training program for your dog.

Stealing 3rd is a zany, fun loving six-piece lineup that brings the power of a modern rock-n-roll band to a club near you.  Featuring our sensational showman Craig Nieves and funky rhythm section, we are “Rockin’ Dads” with way too much 80‘s influence.  We present an entertaining show that keeps everyone engaged and singing late into the night!

More info about Stealing 3rd can be found on the official website: http://www.stealing3rd.net/

So bring along a lounge chair or blanket, your friends and family, and a hearty appetite!
