Attention!! Attention!! 3 new pictures.
New pictures are GREAT:):):):):)
Are you enjoying your Thursday?D:D:D:D:D
I hope you are in the studio making beautiful stained glass:) What a wonderful way to create and nurture the soul. My easel has been packed away in the basement for too long. I never have the time to paint anymore.:rolleyes:
Back to the old grind:mad::mad::mad: I sure am glad tomorrow is Friday, it was hard leaving the pups to come back to work.:eek::eek:
How is the house painting coming? Did the painters ever show up?
Oops, phone ringing, back to work.
Hugs,
Addy
Hi Addy-
Not one word from the painter. I'm not pushing it because my idea was to do it in cooler weather anyway.....which we missed when we still did not have a final decision regarding color. So-maybe instead of the week following Memorial Day we can see that it gets done the first week or two in September.
Got a hair cut today.....or as Bob's area says......"Got my hairs cut today." It's always nice to get it shaped up.
Went to the foot doc. I am still having some problem with the left big toe, but he gave me some instructions and said I am to call him right away if it comes back. We have set up the right foot op for October 5th. I'm not entirely sure I want to do that then. We'll see. It's a toss up between having to go through all that again vs. getting the last anticipated surgery over with. He says this will be easier because the big toe is not involved. We'll see. He also told me before the first one that it was a 6 week recovery and it turned out to be 12. :(:mad::(:mad:
Well-we're off to doggie class. We still aren't doing our job regarding homework. Maybe my knuckles will get smacked with a ruler!:rolleyes:
Love,
Susan
Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!!

$29.00 for blood collection

Hi Addy-
I'm looking back at Palmer's records and this is what I find....
ACTH $125.37; exam $62; Cortrosyn injection-follow up (this was every time we had the ACTH)$114.50; IDEXXNSAID panel $64.38. That comes to $366. I don't guess that makes you feel any better (or less poor).
If we ever got out of there for less than $250, it was a "cheap" visit. They'd charge us $40 for taking blood pressure. They charged us for the staffer taking poop samples in. I guess the $ you spent makes me feel less bad about what I had to spend....they are not that much different.
By the way-Palmer's "date" is August 5th. I think it's going to be pretty heavy.:(
Well-the island is cleared and cleaned and ready for stained glass. I'll keep you posted if there's progress. I tend to try to hurry projects which takes all the fun out of it. I am hoping to be more relaxed about it. Did I ever tell you that I made a stained glass fireplace screen for Ryan? It is made of this really cool glass. The problem, I realized too late, is that there is no light behind a fireplace screen. The glass is not tempered so you can't leave it in place if you have a fire. We wound up buying some of those electric candles that are on timers. That works pretty well. The "next time" I would use opaque glass. That think really burned me out. It was one huge project.
Well-I'm told there are chips and salsa downstairs. I hope you're getting to enjoy your pool.
Take care.
love,
sus
Chips and Salsa sound good to me:D:D:D:D
Our grocery store just started making their own sweet potato "chips" with sea salt. YUMMY:D:D:D They make them right there in the store.
Free shaping. My version of it I learned when I took Zoe for clicker training which she did so well at and still does. Example, I take an empty box and sit in on the floor and wait. If Zoe looks at the box, i click and treat. If she goes toward the box, I click and treat. If she jumps in the box I give her a "jack pot" and praise the heck out of her. A jack pot is like 10 rapid fire tiny treats given to her which impress the heck out of them. Next time I bring out the box and put in on the floor, I don't say anything and Zoe runs and jumps in the box. Jackpot again. She has now learned a new trick she figured out on her own.
Another version we do is sit on the floor with the clicker and treats and wait for her to give me a behavior I like and then click and treat it. Same principle as the box. She learned on her own to drop to a down and count with her paw three times. She gave me that on her own, trying to figure out what she had to do to get me to click and treat.:D:D
Once you start it they give you all kinds of great behavior they think up on their own and you can fine tune it into a cool trick.
I LOVE IT. Zoe is much better at it than Koko but she had more clicker training. He had traditional training to start.
Have a great weekend!!!!!
Love,
Addy
Hi All,
Now I know what Free Shaping is. We have a clicker from a class my husband took with Maddie. That sounds like fun.
I love sweet potatoes beer batter french fries and chips also. What is a chip without salt especially like sea salt because I feel like it is better for you---haha!!!
Susan I hope the trip goes better than you plan. At least you won't be staying too long with those people. Haha!!! You will survive and it won't be forever. Just when you think you cannot stand anymore you are home!!!:p
Have a wonderful week!!!!
New pictures, laddies...........
Hey Marie!
How is it going with Miss Ella? I'm about ready to sell Bailey.....or pay to have her taken away.;) I have always been able to go out in the back yard, or at night in the front yard, without any kind of leash. She has always "hung around." No more. She is off never to return until trapped. She is so dang strong willed. :mad: She won't come when called. :mad:You can't catch her to discipline her. :mad: She still hasn't figured out to scratch or ring the bells to go outside. :mad:And now she has started crying and we can't figure out why. :confused:Our only guess is teething....and yet she takes kibble, which has been out for awhile and is hard as rocks, and eats it. I just don't get it. This is not the rose-y picture I had painted for myself. A guy in the neighborhood-the one with the springer spaniel, asked how old Bailey was now and then laughed and told me I had at least 6 more months of this stuff to go through.:(:(
She gets spayed one week from tomorrow. Gees-I thought it was two weeks away. I feel so bad. First they chop off her tail and now I'm getting her reproductive parts removed.
More when I'm in a better place.
Susan
