ENOUGH!!!!!

Dear Weather,

If I wanted to experience winter in, let’s say, Buffalo or Minnesota, I would move there. This is New Jersey.

So enough already!

Enough!

ENOUGH!!!!!

No matter how much you wish they were normal at the beginning, every next day and every next year, you love them more for what they are.

Winter Weight Gain

By , January 12, 2010 9:29 am

Not me – nooo, the gastroenteritis diet (not recommended) cleared that up nicely for me, thank you very much.

Had Bryce to the vet for bloodwork yesterday only to find he’s gained almost a POUND!

Not that it’s a BAD weight for him – normally, I would be very happy with that weight. BUT here he is coming off a sore back with his first agility trial since last October (assuming his PT thinks it’s OK) coming up in less than 2 weeks and he weighs more than he has in the last TWO YEARS!

ARGH!!

Edit: 9/19/09 – The site seems to be responding much better this morning so rather than me reposting here, why not visit them yourself – http://www.agility-wm2009.at/OnlineResultate/

Congrats to the USA medium team – looks like they took the team Silver with only 5 faults total! Well done :) !

Congrats to Jayda’s young cousin Hex and Auntie Bernadette (Great Britain) for finishing 3rd at the European Open Individual Finals! They were beaten by another cousin, Unique (Denmark – also bred by Bernadette) who finished first! Results are posted here – I think they’re running team today.

Name That Puppy!

By , February 9, 2008 10:45 am

Now that I have “Raven”, I need a good full name to go with it. Here are some of my “possibles”

Toven Rave Review – Fits with both her callname and her Mom’s name (“Extra Extra”), but it’s been “done” a lot (and probably half of the dogs with that name are called “Raven”).

Toven Ravin’ Lunatic – Just kidding :) – Toni would kill me! (Not to mention its probably bad karma to give your dog a name with “lunatic” in it!)

Toven Light up the Night - My fave so far!

Toven Starlight at Night

Those last two both honor my Sally (who had “Amber Starlite” in her name). Raven was born exactly one week before what would have been Sally’s 16th birthday, and her puppy name “Cookie” was Sally’s nickname.
