Molly, 13 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo - Molly has passed

Sharlene:
Sounds lime you had a good old time car shopping. The cost of new cars is just astronomical now. I hope you get something that you like to drive if you are going to keep it for a while. Good to hear Molly's foot is not acting up. Your work is going to give you grey hair!! Thank God for the weekend so you can unwind. I miss the corporate world sometimes, but it was very draining. The doggies just did their second walk and the sun is out and really nice. Have a good Sunday. Blessings

we have a Prius IV and I love those heated seats in the winter! Warms you up much quicker than the car heater.

I am about being a team player whatever is going on and I don't need someone trying to be a hero and messing things up by interfering when a team is working on an issue. I had to write an incident report on Friday for that very reason. It's my own fault in a way for not taking the management position when offered so I could just handle these things.
I miss the days of being home not worrying about working and happy bliss. Lol
I can't do that now as it is all about Molly's needs and those needs are speedy. So. No win. No work no money. Work money but a lot of stress too.
I'll survive it just has to be dealt with.

Oh new cars are very expensive. I like low miles used to get a better deal.

Sharlene:
I know what you mean, we had people like that at work too, and they are all about themselves. Hoping Molly is starting of the week well. Did you find a car yet? I am getting nervous about these storms coming, so I have to get something safe to give Tipper. Blessings

Hi Sharlene,
I agree, stress stinks!! Worry stinks too! Hate those nights where you wake up and can't shake the worrisome thoughts and stress related angst. :(

Hoping your work day was better today and whatever was going on there has settled down.
How's Molly doing today? She's not limping anymore, right? I hope not!

I love new cars! So exciting.

I have usually bought used in the past, but 2 years ago, I bought myself a brand new car, exactly what I wanted. I figured that if I was going to drive it for at least 10 years (or more!), I would get the exact one I wanted, and brand new. I still love it. And, it handles like a dream in the Alaskan winters.

Sharlene:
I hope a better day at work?? What's going on with the weather up there?? Tipper is on high alert!! There has to be a better way. Hope Molly's foot is still good. Blessings

We're expecting rains starting overnight tonight and its a system that isn't going to move out quickly but stall over us from what they said, so lots of rain. I'm a bit worried, remember last year guys?!! All that water. (if you don't know or hadn't heard about last years toronto floods, pics are posted in the albums)
I'm wondering if I should just stay home or what in case we get floods again. I might do that, right now they are saying 23 - 35mm, but that could be more, it just depends. I'll check weather in the morning and decide.

Renee, what kind of vehicle did you end up getting for the Alaskan winters?

No, nothing yet. Getting a vehicle is a slow process for us. Mainly because we can only go look on Saturdays due to work and time constraints. And if you are going to put down that kind of money, then we're going to be picky. Yea, we keep ours a long time too, so it best be right. LOL Currently we sort of know what we want and there aren't any used low miles 2013-2014 available. So, patience grasshopper!

Work, *sigh* LOL Today was like being in the Antarctica, with the big freeze. Sort of like working with a teenager. Gads. Hormonal still ya think? :) No worries though, I will deal with it. :)

So, molly is doing okay, no limping ,but she is more careful with it sometimes, weird, will stretch and stick it out in front of her. (would that be a ligament, tendon issue?)

Sharlene - I bought a Chevrolet Equinox. I don't live out in the country here, so I'm not battling serious snow storms that need a big truck, but we do get bad snow and icy weather for about 6 months out of the year. It handles the icy roads and snow very, very well.

I actually test drove a few vehicles, decided exactly what I wanted, then ordered the exact one with all the features and specs I wanted. When the car arrived, it had exactly 3 miles on it. It took a while to arrive, but it was worth waiting for the car I wanted. I am very, very patient and particular when making big purchases, so I never rush or settle. My last car, I had for 9 years before upgrading. I expect to get at least 10 out of this one.

My niece bought a chevrolet equinox down in LA. She Loves it!

hmmm..Maybe I'll take a look at those if it handles ice and snow well.

Thanks!
