Mindless Chatter - Tues

Another dreary,cold day here. Got all the christmas cards done yesterday and in the mail today. Later I have to take Maizy and Sammy to the vet for their shots . I think I'll have them try and cut Maizy's nails---that should be a real joy.   Well, besides watching the grandkids and 5 dogs, my father-in-law may be moving in with us soon,as his memory is going----like mine's any better.  Oh God,give me strength!     

It was SO cold here yesterday. The wind was vicious, I applaud you Jewlieee going out in that last night. I had a hard enough time staying outside to let Belle relieve herself at agility class. I am not ready for this (though I doubt I will ever be). I need to get started on my holiday stuff. There are not enough hours in a day or days of the week. This year is going to be tough. I need to figure out what to do for my sister and BIL (combo gift) her suggestions are BORING!!! We just had a fire alarm at work. Here we are all standing around trying to decide if it is real or what. Then an annoucement comes over the PA "Code F in the Towsley Center Dow Auditorium!" Code F = Fire So now I am like WOW just then maintenance comes from the Dow area and says "it's ok I think we stirred up some dust". We had a blood drive going in our dining room, we were glad to hear we didn't need to evacuate. That fire alarm is LOUD and annoying. I suppose that is what it is supposed to be.

Oh, it was COLD last night. That wind was killer. I was dressed for the artic though. I had on my ski pants, hiking boots plus a cami, a smart wool shirt with a thick fleece on top of that plus my goose down jacket on top of all that!  I am sick of this cold already, but I do get some relief. Every time I go out in the cold with the dogs for a while, I follow it up with a soak in the hot tub :) There's nothing like a 104 degree soak after an hour + in 15 degree weather!

Gosh, I feel more and more like a wimp for complaining about the weather in los angeles! It's actually about 70 degrees and sunny here, I'm on my way to the dog park in an hour for a training session with otto. We are working on hand signals from a distance. Well I should say I am, Otto doesn't seem to like this part as much as the rest ;) I am kinda bummed though because I had surgery yesterday and I can't take any pain meds today because I have to drive there. Oh well, I guess I'll have to suck it up for two hours ;) I have to say, it is wierd to get operated on by your friends! They did treat me like royalty though, people thought I must have been a celebrity LOL.

Oh, I hear ya!  It finally started to rain a bit here and the cloud cover raises the  temp about 10 degrees so it just "looks" a lot colder than it really is ... but I'm freezing anyway.  I don't think I'd survive a midwest or east coast winter.

Ottoluv - Hope you are feeling well after your surgery!

I went to watch an agility class at another facility near where I live last night, and it's not going to be a good fit for us. The people were really nice, and they teach handling class for conformation, so I think I will start doing those, but I am sticking with my agility trainer.

I really wish I could find one facility that teaches agility, obedience and conformation handling. Oh well, maybe someday when I am a trainer I will have that facility... there certainly is a niche open in the local market!

Yeah yeah, rub it in how you are going to the dog park and its 70 degrees out! Sure!

oops, and here I was about to say that I'm taking Gracie to the brand new dog park that is a one block walk from my house (across the street, practically), and that it's 79 degrees here - no worries about heat, though, the park is shaded with new trees and has great grass for G to roll in.  She's been waiting all day while I cleaned and prepped some stuff for the post office. In the coming months it will be too hot for daytime trips to the park, so we're taking advantage while we can!!!  I am bringing my camera to take pics to rub it in,... er, I mean, share!

Lol, I love it.

Here, it's more of the same freezing temperatures that everyone else is reporting.  However, it's snowing fairly heavily!  I'm hoping for at least 6 inches, but we'll see.  The good news is that Honor's finally excited about the snow!!!  For those who don't know, Honor DETESTED snow last week.  Tried to avoid it like the plague, and when forced to touch it, picked up her paws 6 feet in the air.  But no longer!  Tonight, DH and I brought toys outside, and she was playing in it like crazy!  She looked marvelous, like a true miniature sled dog.  I was so proud.  

Anyways, just finished watching the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (mostly because I work there), and it was really fun to watch!  It's always neat to see how the products look on glamazons.

haha! Yes, please post pics. Make my day ;p

 

Glad to hear that Honor has finally accepted the snow!
