I'll share some good news... puppy time!
8 years ago
I shared a few weeks ago the story of our dog who died from lymphedema. We lost 2 dogs almost exactly a year apart.
Normally I'd want to wait a while before getting another but the house seemed lonely... we have 2 other dogs and one is a 4 year old who has a lot of anxiety issues and is scared of everything including some other dogs. So while we really wanted to adopt an adult dog who was already house broken, we decided a puppy would be a better match for our situation.
So... here she is
Yes, she's as ornery as she looks! She's a shepherd husky mix. 11 weeks old and full of mischief! She has brought so much laughter back into our lives already. She and her new brother are getting along great!

Comments (5)I never heard of a Lee Valley store so I looked it up. GGG is right, YOU ARE SO LUCKY! I fell in love with the old time kids toys and books. How to make paper airplanes and create hand shadows. I linked the website for future peeking. I'll trade a Home Depot for a Lee Valley any day.

Comments (9)Your sign says "coffee time" - do you actually have your coffee pot out on the counter all the time? (although you could be like me and just zap water for instant). If so, could you switch the microwave and the coffeepot and make this a real coffee centre. Put up more mugs, a pretty sugar bowl etc, and then paint the cabinet a dark blue or a blue that will tie in the blues that you have in your sign and in the counter. Make it a go-to place for making tea and coffee - a little place in the kitchen with an extra splash of personality. The blue would look neat against your wall colour. (Although you could do the same thing even if you use the microwave for zapping hot water for coffee/tea.)...See MoreBest time to bring home new puppy?
Comments (17)Saltidawg, I am sorry you feel that way. I have a breed that was on the verge of extinction. I have flown over to Europe multiple times and brought pups back with me on the plane. Lovingly tucked into the seat beside me. How do you think most of the purebreeds got here to the USA to begin with? As there are only a handful that are native to the USA they have to get here somehow. I have buyers fly and drive to my home from states away in order to pick up their pups. A fabulous breed that was about to go by the wayside while people spend three times as much for a designer hybrid with no history , no health tests, no working or conformation tests. I consult with the president of the breed club in the native country on a regular basis to determine best breeding pairs, how to promote the best practices with regards to achieving genetic diversity. I participate in activities that my breed was bred for in order to make sure that my dogs are mentally and physically stimulated and are still up to performing the tasks they are intended for. I am also a breeder who will always take back any dog from my breeding. And am involved with breed rescue when needed. Personally I’m pretty thrilled that you and I have nothing to discuss. Unless your breed is a native to your country, you are relying on someone before you to have somehow gotten your breed into your hands. Or did they teleport? The ends justify the means?...See MoreTime for some good news...
Comments (49)I'm sure that your basic good health made you a good candidate for the treatment. I'm too old for stem cell to treat my multiple myeloma, but not having any of the underlying problems is a plus. With MM, I will require chemo in remission. It would be monthly instead of the current weekly regime of 40 mg dexamethasone plus a $4000 shot of Velcade. It's working! My IgG started at 6000 in May. This week I'm at 1920. Normal is 700 - 1600. X-rays show no changes/resolution of the bone lesions though, and the scarring causes some pain....See More- 8 years ago
