And a very good morning to you all. My sweetheart returned last night about 9:00. After 4 days in Vegas she came back without a million dollars in gambling winnings, but only left them with $50.00 of her cash. Not bad, I can lose more than that in ten minutes at the lumber yard! Sorry to be so remiss in my postings. Didn't get to do any big jobs, just a few little ones. Keeping an eye on Immy did take a lot of doing. She chewed on DW's journal from her Italy trip, the leg off a Swedish horse, destroyed a lip balm tube, gnawed the handles on two grooming brushes, knocked a picture frame off the sofa table that was a good 18" away from the back of the sofa and "played" with a stuffed cat that used to be there, then chewed up and ate part of 3 pine cones (on 3 different times) then upchucked in the middle of the living-room carpet. While I was in the shop or on the computer she figured it was OK to indulge in her antics 'cause nobody was watching. On top of that the vacuum broke and all that was left was my big shop vac. Ever tried to vacume a house with a big shop vac trailing behind?? It 'aint fun. So, MAYBE today I can get us into town and pick up one of those Oreck machines. It sure is good to have her back. Trying to eat a whole carrot cake by yourself so it doesn't spoil isn't easy either. I could have used your help on that one Sarve. So now things are about normal, Immy will have another pair of eyes watching her, the little bit of snow has melted, weather is above freezing and mealtime will consist of more than carrot cake.

MG, Immy goes in on the 16th to be spayed. Argued about that with myself for some time. Did I want to show her in Conformation? did I want to breed her and have a litter of beautiful little puppies, or just have her as my best friend ? Dog Shows are very expensive, puppies are very time consuming till you find homes for them, and I really just wanted a couple of companions. Wish she didn't have to go through the surgery and healing process. Time to get ready for the journey into town for the vacuum. Here's the small portal panel so far.
