You are having fun, you just don't know it yet:p:p:p:p:D:D:D:D:D
I LOVE MY PIX OF BAILEY, THANK YOU, THANK, YOU, THANK YOU
Hope your cold is better and your legs and foot are holding up with so many hours in the car.
Little Miss Bailey is counting the days until mom gets home.
Love,
Addy
Who would ever think you would enjoy Bailey's poop so much you would trade in a vacation...!!!:eek:
I hope all the walking is helping your foot and leg to keeping circulation up and running to heal them. :D
Enjoy as much as you can, of course with all the driving and museum time, you haven't had time to sweater shop--darn it! :p
Hi ladies-
I entered my response post twice last night and I see neither "took."
We are now in Niagara Falls......well.....not really in the falls....but I can see them out the window!!:D:D
It's been another long day of travel....hopefully the last marathon driving on this trip. We'll have all tomorrow to poke around here then drive to Corning, NY for our final stop.:)
I called and checked on Bailey today and she is doing well and still working on her pigs ear.
No sweaters yet. I asked about maple syrup, but that post got lost.
Sault Ste Marie was okay. It's not a place with much to see. The first day was one helluva lot of riding in the car....and since that followed the very long day of travel the day before, I was NOT happy:mad:.
Anyway-I survived so far. Today I told Bob no more skipping lunches.
I'll try not to fall in the falls. :eek: We're on the home leg now girls!:D
Love,
Susan
Hey Sus,
Not even funny cause I heard the other day a lady was lost at the falls and FREAKED for five minutes:D:D:eek::eek::eek:
Gotta run to work, sorry short post.
Love ya and have a great lunch!!!!!!!
Hugs,
Addy
Hi Susan,
I got to go to Niagara in '03 and had the best time! It is so beautiful there, especially on the Canadian side. Everyone else seems to prefer the Horseshoe Falls, but I stared in wonder at the American falls - they are so rugged and powerful. The flowers and gardens were breathtaking - all cared for by 40 horticulture students from around the world who came there to study. On the Am. side, there was a huge indoor winter garden that was so beautiful but it is gone now, I understand. :( We only had 4 days there and I wish we could have had 4 months at least! That is one place I dearly want to return to one of these days.
Enjoy your trip!
Hugs,
Leslie
Hi Leslie-
I know exactly how you feel. I was here about 7 years ago and found it to be so beautiful. :):) I've not been on the USA side, but I've been told it's not that great.:(
And hi-Addy, as well. We love the room so much we are spending a second night here.:) They have fireworks every Friday evening.:):D We should have a spectacular view from this room. :cool:
Bob and I just returned from the pathway by the falls. We are both drenched.:eek:
We spent today walking around Niagara-on-the-Lake. It's a cute little town with some interesting shops.
I was just looking out the window and this is so amazing. :cool::D:)
We're on the 14th floor of the Marriott and have a completely unobstructed view.
We're going to Tony Roma's for steak tonight then back to the room fore the fireworks and a then quick bedtime. :D
We need to leave early AM to get to Corning. Early so we miss the bridge backups into the US and so we get done with what we want to see and do at Corning and still get home Saturday night.:eek:
Hey Marie & Addy. .....I got you sweatshirts today. ;) One is brown and one is navy. You'll have to figure out who gets which color.:confused::confused: If you meet me at the truck stop, I'll give them to you then.:D
So far I have not fallen into the falls.:D
Love,
Sus, Susan, Mom, Bailey's Mom :D:D;);):):):cool::cool:
HEADS I GET THE BROWN ONE:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p
OMG Fireworks at the falls sounds so very lovely, it must be a beautiful sight:):):):):):) I was there just one time, long,long ago.
Steak at Tony Romas? Hope you brought a doggy bag, YUMMY, YUMMY GOOD:D:D:D:D:D
Hope they don't keep you at the border:D:D:D:D
Love ya,
Addy
Hello and welcome home!!!!!:)
WHEW!!!:D
Now I can start planning the NEXT vacation....one much more to my liking.:D:D
I enjoyed The Henry Ford and the Green Village. 2,200 miles.....that is NOT to my liking. :mad: The falls were just so gorgeous, especially from the wonderful room we had. I enjoyed very much going through the Corning Museum yesterday. I even got to blow a glass "sculpture." They have to finish it off, so I have to wait for it to arrive in the mail. That was cool. Had we had more time at a more casual pace, I would have tried all the hands on stuff. There is a lot of history there....pieces from 1 A.D. ...and forward. I didn't see anything earlier than that. I was disappointed in that I hoped to see more current stuff....although there sure was planty of that.
So .... yesterday we drove from Niagara Falls to Corning to home. We got in about 10:30 and that was with a 3-4 hour stop at the museum.
There really isn't much in Sault Ste Marie to see. I enjoyed the visit with our friends, but in November they will be right across the street and I would have preferred to wait for that. But now we have fulfilled our social obligation and that was good.
Little Miss Bailey did very well. We picked her up @9AM and she has not stopped running, chasing, etc. since then.....no exaggeration. I threw balls, etc for her for at least an hour. We went to visit neighbors and she was non-stop there for a couple of hours. Now we're back home and she has chased everything under the sun and is now playing with a Coke cap. She looks so cute with that red circle in her mouth. Don't worry-she won't swallow it.:eek:
We have had a bit of a regression on the biting, but I expect that to change back soon. It's amazing how puppies can ignore you when you have laryngitis! :confused:
I have let her run free out front two or three times and man she loves it! Huge circles. Front yard to back yard. She so loves to run.:):)
OK....Coke cap thrown away---she started chewing on it...I sure didn't want that to need to be removed from her stomach.:eek:
Just wanted to touch base and let you know all of us arrived home safely and all of us seem to have survived our experiences.:)
Happy Sunday y'all!!!:D
Love,
Susan
:Wow, HOME!!!!!! I bet Miss Bailey is so happy to have Mom back.
Susan, how cool you actually got to do a blown glass sculpture. What a great experience. I love watching them on TV. I love the Chihuly glass sculptures. We had a show at our art museum and his work just was unbelievable.
I decided to teach Zoe some more hand signals. She is so dang smart, she catches on right away. Five minutes of chicken and practicing walking down the street and we now have a "come here" hand signal, no words involved:D:D:D
And we are still taking walks in the morning and I still talk away to her.
Enjoy being home and I hope you do not need a vacation from your vacation. I hate it when that happens:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
Love,
Addy
Welcome Back MOM!!!!:D
I guess Addy beat me to the Brown one so I will take the navy one!!! Thank you for thinking of us!!!:p
You will get Bailey back on tract. Be the boss like Sas said with the boundaries and you first thru the doors, etc. I make Ella sit at the doors and gate and look at me before I release her to start thru the door and gate. Sometimes I make her sit once we are out the door so I can close and lock it. I also put Maddie's pincher choke collar on and what a difference it makes on the walks. If these are done right they do not hurt them. The choker can only go so far because there is a ring in the middle that is a stop mechanism. This one was made in Germany if that makes a difference--supposedly when we bought it from the trainer with Maddie there is a difference in quality and the way they work.
How does she do once she has done all the running around??? Does she settle down and will work with you? Ella seems like a little child the more you let her run and try to tire her out she is all wrond up--starts the barking/biting and then off to sleep. We are exhausted from trying to disapline her.:eek:
We will get them to the wonder dog stage eventually, but we just forget that it was a process the last time--we just want it sooner this time.
I hope you got rest so you will not have a relapse from you disease. Take care of yourself!!!!:)
Happy Week!!! :D
