Finally heading home tomorrow from my sisters in Buffalo. Makes me happy!! I love my sister, but we CAN NOT LIVE TOGETHER for extended periods of time. She has three dogs, I have three dogs and in a 1000 square foot house, that is too small for six dogs and two adults. We have been here a month. I am eager to get home, continue my therapy, see my ( Read more... )

My 'baby' boy turned three on December 12! Meggie also has a birthday sometime in November, she is eight now. I love them both so much, it is ridiculous. Tucker, the baby, is nine months now. He acts it and lets everyone know it as well. Think of any child you know on a sugar high with no 'OFF' button. At least the dog can't talk ( Read more... )

I had my 50th birthday back in May. Turning 50 didn't bother me, at first, but my summer has not been good and I'm thinking I should have stayed at 49.

Not as much color in the North Country as I was expecting. Still lots of green, and with the windy days we have coming, the leaves may fall before changing. Some pretty places. ( photos )

The concepts of some "reality" tv shows and the participants astound me. A Canadian show, Property Brothers, helps people find their "dream home". The first home that they show the client is the wish list home with all the bells and whistles on their list. It is ALWAYS out of budget. Then the people act all surprised that they can't afford this ( Read more... )

sucks! Dealing with a round of sinusitis this week. Making sleep nearly impossible, since every time I lay down, I start coughing. Harshly and painfully. I had a fit of coughing at work the other day and could not catch my breath. My coworkers thought I was choking and were ready to dial 911. You know when you cough so hard, you start to wheeze and ( Read more... )

Kodiak made it the 24 miles to training class tonight without being sick! YES! We had to stop twice for a few minutes, but he made it. He is getting a little better with his people shyness. I am so used to having gregarious, outgoing dogs, I am not used to this behavior. We're working on it ( Read more... )
