an adult rated Christmas song
I found this last year and it cracks me up just thinking about it. Language is not suitable for all viewers. Thanks Scotty... yet again it made my day.
Dogs
It is cold here right now. I have city dogs, never slept a day outside dogs, never grown winter hair dogs... who love to go outside. At the moment they want all day to go out, and then their little feet freeze and they have a hard time walking... yet they never ever want to stay in. Wish I had that much enthusiasm.
Rory had a bad day yesterday with two major and two minor seizures on a roughly 45 minute period. So he got extra meds and Doug got to experience shooting valium up a dogs butt. These episodes make him uncoordinated and restless so he really did not sleep all day, when what he really needed to do was sleep. So phone call to the vet to let him know what has happened. Now back to the vets to do blood tests on his phenobarb levels. He has just been increased since the levels were low on his first test after being medicated. So does he need to be increased, does his body absorb it too fast... many questions. The vet is not happy that these big seizures occurred already... basically he should be holding steady. So we have to figure out why not. Some dogs get medicated and stay at a level of basic drugs forever, others require more of the phenobarb, reach a point at which anymore would poison them and then have to start taking a cocktail of meds. i am hoping that this is not the case. Financially it would be more of an issue and as he is a young dog, increased dosages and cocktails of drugs have of course there own side effects.

Winter
We finally got our first major dump of snow. And are now locked into cold weather. But it is sunny and clear... I can live with the cold. My bah humbugs have been put somewhat on the backburner. Blue skies and snow...
I have in the last months been spending lots of time reading. Until summer rolled around it was rather intermitent, which is not usual for me. I started with JA Jance, discovered James Rollins and books by douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. I reread Memoirs of A Geisha, A History Of Salt, and A Swiss Family Robinson. I will admit mostly escapist reading, nothing to strenous or anything. Also started the music playing again, classic rock to jazz, country to classical. My musical tastes run all over the place.
Yet despite all this and my foray into much Christmas baking, which I do enjoy, I have been rather ho-hum about Christmas. I usually decorate early but so far have only managed to put lights on the tree (and that was really Doug). the ornaments are on the floor beside the tree. I actually do like this season a lot... perhaps too much work over the week of Christmas, which is usual, meaning I am tired and not enjoying. Mom is gone for a month, which in a way relieves some of the stress of the holidays... trying to fit in everyone and find a way to make some of our own traditions. Doug's Mom is ill and we of course want to spend as much time there as we can, and fit in my Dad's family to. Too many things to do, when all I would love to do is shut the door and stay at home. But perhaps I stay at home a little too much the rest of the time...
But on the other side of the holidays we are going to Vegas for 4 days. not long but its four days out of here. far away from here. we are going with friends and I am looking forward to spending this time with them. P, I have known in some fashion or another since elementary school and began spending time with as adults when he and Doug worked together. He and is wife are really great people and B and I are getting excited planning things for us to do when away. She also thinks that gettign married (re-married in both our cases) while there would be a hoot... shenanigans may occur... and remember what happens in Vegas, ends up getting posted on facebook.

Christmas Once Again
Once again it has been a long time since I have posted anything. Fall has come and is almost gone. 6 more days and it will officially be winter. Fall was filled with work for both D and I, he was getting called in on a fairly good basis for a while. Then a long time between calls... three the week he was too sick to go. Doug's family had a reunion on his Dad's side the Thanksgiving weekend. Celebrating 60 years since the Revel's left Northern Ireland and landed in Mara/Enderby. It was great to spend time with everyone, although we had managed to see a number of them at the lake over the summer.
In the pet department, our youngest dog, was diagnosed with epilepsy after a period of seizures spread over a month and a half. It is common in Springer Spaniels but is scary to watch. So he is now on meds for life. luckily his seizures are intermitent and not really harsh. our cat Pounce disapeared Oct 20, right when Rory started seizuring more (stress is a major trigger just like people). I snuggled him in the morning and that was the last we saw of him. I had lost lots of cats growing up in the country and was not overly upset... until we found out from people in the apartment by us that our neighbor had been seen with a trapped cat that same weekend. He of course denies this... so there is nothing we can do. We are not sure if he just killed him or dumped him or what. SPCA cannot do anything since it is legal to trap, but they are supposed to release, return, or take the animals to the SPCA. ... there is more than that man doing this in our area as all the strays are gone and lots of people are missing there pets. One did turn up and was returned to our area from Enderby... so we are hoping that our cat has found someone to take him in.

Summertime
wow it has been a while since I have been on here. hmm lets see. We have been getting out to the cabin on a number of overnight stays with the dogs. That has been great, I love it out there and have actually had some time to relax as have been working 6 day weeks up till the last two weeks. Water has been nice and it has been good visiting family. The dogs also love it and have a great time swimming.
We managed to get out and see a few movies: Prince Caspian, Indiana Jones, Sex and the City, momma mia. D threw a bday party for me and we had a great evening visiting. S and S came up from Victoria and we had a really nice day with them out at the lake.
Reilly got sick and spent the night at the vet on IV and antibiotics. He was sick enough to not care the vet was poking and proding him but got his back by getting out of his cage and running around the clinic setting off the alarm and bringing the police down to investigate. He is now on the mend.

my life goes to the dogs
seriously though, my spare time activities are mostly dog related. Training, walking, competing... this coming weekend we are being venders at an all day dog event in town at Haney house. We are also working the dogs in three demos and I may be running Mom's dog in an agility demo as well. That is my day off before working 7 days.
I am also currently researching BARF (or raw feeding) for the dogs and info on vaccinations (whether needed or not). I am also debating whether or not to take a correspondance diploma in canine nutrition as well as some other courses.

may long weekend
So the may long weekend is over and it turned out to great weather although it is now raining quite hard. D and I took three days off to go to Vancouver for a friends wedding. I have known her since we were 5 and started kindergarten together. Lots of school, memories and moves later we are still friends. She works for the UN right now and is married to a British fellow who is winding down a 22 years of service in HMA. They have a house in England where they will live.
We went down after work on wednesday and got in late. We spent a sunny day walking downtown and shopping. We went down to Granville Island and meandered thru the market and sampled some beer at the brewery. I died about 530 though leaving Doug to wander around on his own for the evening. Friday morning we got ready and indulged in Starbucks. We headed to the park early and found the spot fairly easily. The park does not look as bad as I thought it could be after the big wind storm. I know so many people are moaning about the loss of trees but it is a natural cycle. We met lots of the family, old friends, and some new people. It was sunny and beautiful, we all got sunburned during pictures. We had a great dinner; most of our table had salmon. Afterwards we all headed down to the beach and the kids had a swim. Afterwards we went downtown with a friend; he found a room in our hotel. We had a great dinner at an indian restaurant and then some drinks at the Fog N Suds.
Saturday we went to a lunch at the brides cousins and then headed to visit some of D's family before heading back.

A sunny day off
Yesterday afternoon I got off of work and when I got home our neighbor invited us to a BBQ that evening. So we went and got some drinks (non-alchoholic) and some meat for the grill and went over. There were a number of people there I have seen around and a few that I know. I went home a bit early to relax in the tub and have a good read in my book. Ahhhhhhhhhh after a busy week it was great.
Work has been busy with spring cleaning and painting and finding things to have done by a girl working off her dogs stay. Problem is it really just made more work for me having to clean up after her and keep an eye on her. Copuldn\t really trust her to do a good enough job on anything. And we have been under staffed although they have finally hired someone. I am hoping like mad it will work out. But they did know in February that the other girl only wants to work as a secondary person when we are busy as she is back to full time at her other job. On the plus side I am full time again and they have hired someone to work around my days off. So I have said I want sunday and mondays off so now I can go to Church once again. I am sure they all think there that I have dropped off the edge of the earth.
Had a good run up at the gravel pit with the dogs and Dad today. He is home laid off for a week or so. So he has sprung Mom's dogs from the joint for a bit. They are happy to be home and have their servant around for a bit. Had lunch and dinner out. I have been scrapbooking D's Japan pictures. I have moved them in the past from a dumpy bad to a box in our closet but was tired of them being there and needed a project to work on. I figured that after seven years he probably was not ever going to actually get around to doing anything with them. So that has kept me entertained for a bit. Now the next project hmmm...
We are headed down to Vancouver the may long weekend for a friends wedding. I am looking forward to a few days away and then a couple days off when I get back. It will be great to see the other people I know there. I have been semi trying to loose weight for that weekend so that I look good. Vain yes but that's ok once in a while. But I have lost 21 pounds and am looking to loose about 9 more.

Life keeps ticking along
Well I am on a day off. I got to sleep in and then we took the dogs for a run on the mountain in Canoe. Then downtown for some errands and lunch then off to the vet clinic with Rory and Reagan. Rory to get his physical and shots updated and Reagan for a follow up exam for her earlier illness. Both were very good for our new vet. He is new to the clinic and recently finished school so he is thorough and actually listens to our concerns.
My weekly plan to clean the house and bake cookies has fallen by the wayside again this week. But that is OK. Doug is back oncall for the school district now that spring break is over. And is busy with BBD as they have no employees right now. I am hoping that changes soon as M will start having weekends away with his swim team and Doug cannot run with only him on the weekend. I can help some but am fulltime at the kennel so I am not keen to do much.
we are in the process of buying a new couch. we went and picked one out and then I picked out the colors. We did both like the one in the store and copuld have taken that one but i went with a different combo. It may have been better to go with the instore one as it was lighter colors which may have been better as the house is kinda dark. however, i picked out a nice green for the couch and back of the cushions and then a floral pattern with burgundy, teal, and some other colors for the cushion fronts. It should look quite nice when it gets here in 6-8 weeks. And then I can do a bit of painting as the colors in the sofa have suggested Bengamin Moore matching paint. oh boy.
Otherwise I am busy training with rory for our upcoming rally trial and am very excited that one of the ladies I train with is starting to get into skijoring and I am very keen to get Rory going on the commands so we can try some skiing in the winter with him. Fun fun.
gotta go do some deliveries with Doug and then make dinner. Spinach salad and tuna cakes today.

Sunny Days
The last few days have been so sunny and beautiful. Clear blue sky and all the white snow still around. The only problem is that now the snow is melting and making it very icy.
The last week and a half were stressful as my dog was sick. I came home on a friday night after working at the kennel and then also for D's business. My older ESS had a large swelling on her throat and a hard mass inside that. So we headed off to the vet on an emergency call. She was so out of it and was very patient for the hour and a half that the ver spent on her. As she was so placid we were able to a needle biopsy of the mass with her awake and me just holding her. The vet was quite thorough and was honest in that he really did not have an idea what was wrong. so we put her on a course of strong antibiotic and prednisone. After a long weekend of worrying the test results came back, The good news was that it was her lymph node and that it showed the proper things in her body to be fighting an infection. The bad news is that they have no idea why her body is having bacterial infection or what the cause is. The last year and a bit she has had varied reactions and things that all seem to be tied in together. Now she is better but still not feeling well and we have to wait for the next outbreak to try different tests.
D is busy working at his CEA job and with the delivery business. I am trying to decide whether or not to pursue my dog toy business. I may get a web site set up and go from there. I am starting some training with my younger ESS to get ready for a CARO trial in april. I am nervous and excited. he is so much more eager to work than the other.
The may long weekend I am headed to Vancouver for a friends wedding. It is going to be such a good weekend. I am very happy for her and her fiance. they seem very happy together. My mom is headed off to see my sister and her family for a month again. She is really looking forward to that.

Sometimes you have to wonder
Why is it that things happen I wonder. a cousin is going blind and cannot get any help or her CPP because the welfare people say she has too much money still, although she has maybe a months bills left. So she is, someone who has paid CPP etc since starting work at 16, not poor enough for welfare. How many people do I know rip off welfare or have never worked a day in their life because they are on welfare and just figure why bother? But there are of course lots of good people on it due to circumstances. She is also not able to get CPP she has paid into since 16 because although she cannot see in one eye and can only see shadow in the other she apparently is still able to work and therefore doesn't need her CPP. She can't train for anything until she gets disability which she cannot get until she gets welfare. Hmmmmm something is very wrong when hard working people cannot get help.
A fellow we recently met, as an employee in BBD, is trying very hard to find work and get some pay cheques to support his fiance and baby on the way in a few weeks. He needed a vehicle and sunk all he had into a truck that was not a deal at all. He found two jobs, that he needs the truck for. It dies and now he slid off the road in the snow and it is likely kaput. So now he has lost one job no doubt since he never shows up and while good at the other job needs the truck so he is being replaced with someone more reliable. Now he is in the hospital with an abseced tooth and needing a cat scan so cannot work anyway. Needless to say things are not going well at all for this couple. He has had problems in the past and overcome that so we are hoping that all this does not send him back down those paths.
While I did not really want to bring up Heath Ledger, young seemingly healthy people die. A family in our town I did not know other than by name as she was in the dog cicuit had a loss this holiday season. She was 32, a mother of 5, doing well with her dogs in show etc. She and her husband went to Alberta as his father was dying and not She went to sleep and didn't wake up. When found it was too late. They kept her alive on life support so the young boy left here with family friends could be driven there.
All this makes you think. Why do these things happen? Lots of people would say that it is proof that being religious is not the way to go. For me it makes me think harder about my faith. I am comforted by the fact that I do and have seen God's grace in my life and the lives of those around me. It makes me look harder at how I am living and if I am doing what I am called to do. am I living the life that I should be? Truthfully, not as much as I should be. But I am striving to do it. I thank God for the blessings in my life, both small and large. Live, laugh, love.

A Countrified Soul
January 12 I had tickets to a Big & Rich show. D was supposed to go with me but the employee broke his ankle in a very questionable way in my eyes. First why were you peeing in your buddy's yard and why by the road. I am not so sure I beleive someone drove by in a car and threw a brick at him. Or I am thinking not randomnly. But perhaps I am being cynical. So I asked my cousin C, who is going thru a hard time and certainly needed a night out. I was thankful that the roads were good both there and back and that despite not getting there super early that I got a spot in the parcade. Our seats were at the back of the arena fairly high up but I would prefer to sit there, where you can see instead of on the floor where all you see is the heads in front of you. Emerson Drive, from Grande Prarie AB, started out the show with a great set. They were followed by Terri Clark, a Medicine Hat AB native, who also did a good show. after a second intermission Cowboy Troy came out and did a few songs. Sadly could not actually make out most of the words. Then the main attraction, the reason all these fans were there Big Kenny and John Rich... the MuzicMafia. They did a good show. At one point John stopped to say that in the fan line backstage a fellow proposed to his girlfriend and that she said yes. So they were brought onstage and Big & Rich dedicated Lost In This Moment With You to them. Wow, he will never be able to top that... poor sucker. Then three teenagers got pulled up onstage and were given guitars. rrrrrrrr those front seaters. They also got all the shirts and stuff thrown from the stage and the money that was thrown out during the show. Ahh that's OK.
I am encouraged seeing that Big Kenny only started performing as a musician in his 30s. There is hope. I must get on that guitar practice with a vengence.
