Nite All

Hey Mama, that is two for me, better catch up!

Good morning all! Gloomy and rainy here. Winter is trying to hang on.

So said that Natasha Richardson has died. It's incredible that such a simple fall could cause such damage. A real tragedy.

Broni, thank you for letting us know about Mo's loss.

Good Morning Stella, it appears I missed you this morning.

I also was shocked when I read the details of Natasha Richardson's accident, and how a simple fall that she walked away from lead to fatal brain damage.

Hi all. Were having difficulties getting that puppy from the shelter. They say they want to try to adopt him out themselves. They also have him listed as a mix and he's obviously a purebred. 10 weeks old.

On the radio this morning, they were saying that they think she must have had an underlying brain problem already, because a small blow on the head like she got was not sufficient to cause fatal brain damage. They are doing an autopsy.

Heidi, I thought the same when I read that, some undiagnosed condition plus that small jarring combined were the cause.

What will your rescue group do about the puppy now? Just follow it and see if they can find it a home? I remember what a 10 week old collie looks like. Our family pup, received at Christmas, was just a ball of curls and energy! She was about that old when we had to go back to school and she was left alone for her first time. She put scratches on the wall beside the door. With 4 children home, she had not been alone for the entire 2 week Christmas holiday.

DUH, I got off on a tangent and lost my train of thought. Remembering how adorable a 10 week old collie is, I would think they would have little problem finding it a home.

I may head out there later today and adopt him myself. That is, if we cannot negotiate his release.

Here's a link to see the puppy.

Hi everybody. I have an empty house so guess where I am? Here of course. Spring break here this week and next but because Amber was sick we are working through it. She has been working very hard so I let her go with Dad to Kelowna. I suppose I should do some krowesuoh. My spell check thinks I spelled that wrong. I hope everyone is well and safe.

Heidi, he's a cute little thing. How could anyone not want him?

Morning all!
Gail, so glad Wendy is feeling better, and that the doc was thoughtful about where he put the incision. Your son's scar sounds okay too, though it would be better if he hadn't been hurt at all!

Broni, I think I want to borrow your boarder...

Heidi, I'm sure the puppy will find a loving home.

Rena, has Amber caught up to where she 'should' be? It's probably a year since you mentioned that the school had let her down and she was behind so my memory could be all cuffuddled...

Broni, thanks for letting us know about Mo. I didn't get to do the puzzles yesterday - life got in the way.

Just to let everyone know that I had my procedure this morning, and everything went well.

My head is still not to clear so I am going back to bed to rest. Thanks for all the good wishes.

Great news Bobbi! Thank you for dropping in!

Good Morning SA8.
My 6yo puppy is sitting beside me chewing up the local newspaper.
Happy to hear everything went well Bobbi.
Hi Rena, great to see you around again.

Morning all,
Good news Bobbie,
nice to see Mamacita able to drop in for a chat.
Sorry about Bonnie Heidi, but after all your rehabilitation she may now have a home where she is Top Dog instead of one of many.
I lost a post yesterday and now I have forgotten what else I had to say. No time to go back and read it all again.

Now my 30kg 6yo puppy is playing with her squeeky toy in the house and it is not even 7am.
Morning June.

Heidi, cute pup sure he will find a home, would be a great playmate for Bella. Must get a video of Bella and Moo out on their walks.
Finished my cuppa so off to get ready for another dreary with D&D.

Morning Broni.
I cannot find my silly cat. She was in the garden on Wednesday morning but will not come in when Laura is here. The food I have put out has been eaten but I suspect by another neighbourhood cat. My cat is probably getting her food elsewhere. I just hope she has not got herself locked under someones house. Normally she does not venture very far. I have had her go missing for a day or two before.

hello all. so much going on here. i wish i could just clean my house and sit on the computer all day, but no such luck. i'm sure i have missed birhtdays, anniversaries, good and bad times. i really hope that everyone is well.

'the house" has been kicked into a higher gear, kids sports are emptying my tank and wallet, and family responsibilities are ever present. i know many of you totally relate to my issues right now which is one reason i wish i could spent more time here- misery/joy loves company! see you around!

Good morning lovely SA8 people -
Bobbi - pleased to hear all went well with your procedure.
Heidi - such a cute dog.
Broni - get that puppy to drop the local newspaper - if all the dogs eat that no-one will see Col's Mowing ad!
June - hope you find your cat.

Hi Mariana, wish you had more time to chat too.

June, I hope your cat shows up. At least for a visit!

Broni, your pup sounds so cute!

Hi Cyn!!

Newstory for the day - thieves get robbed!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7953421.stm

Well that's it for me for now. Big day ahead and have to get going...

Have a great day everyone!

Mother/daughter day today. Every second Friday Karin and I spend the day together without kids. We're just shopping today. Might try to see if DIL will meet us. I want to get the kids something small for Easter (like clothes - maybe pyjamas) because I only buy them one egg. They get far too many as it is.

Hi to you as well Suzy - have a nice day.

Too late Broni, I have already updated it...and I hate it! No probs as yet, what is going wrong for you?

Heidi, I want to adopt that puppy, but hubby just shrugged!

So Sad about Houpette, but I suspected as much.

Hubby and I are going to grab a roll for lunch and go for a walk around Emerald Lake, in the town next to us.
It's a beautiful day and I couldn't think of a nicer place to spend it.

Catch you later.

Bobbie, happy to see you back after your probing by the doctors. I hope report is good and all is well. the older we get the more procedures and tests and such the docs think up for us, YUCK!

Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder MizT.

Thanks for dropping in to let us know you are ok after your procedure Bobbi. You will feel a lot more with it after a rest.
Take care,

Really gone now!

Morning everybody..
Heidi...I shouldn't encourage you but I think it would be wonderful to adopt that gorgeous pup...
Tricia I am so glad you knew where to lay your hands on 'Rainbow Ridge' for Mo.
I hadn't heard they were doing an autopsy on Natasha..I suspected an aneurysm..

Have a good one everybody.

Does anyone know when Vici was to return from her trip? Yoo Hoo Vici, time to report back in young lady!

Gail, did you get to see Puffing Billy? Did you wave when it did? Park looks lovely, as you said a nice place to go for a walk. Thanks for showing us the photos on the site.

Mariana, do you have an expected finish date on the house? Did you ever get all the different stains picked?

Heidi, just why does your collie rescue group want the little puppy away from the shelter that has him? Are they less capable of selecting a good home for him? seems to me that you do not think he is in good hands there.

June, hope your cat returns home soon. I know how I worry if mine stay gone for long. They might stay out all day some days but I do see them about the yard, or napping on the back porch and know they are OK.

Cyn, how long did it take hubby to get finished with his "5 hours into a 3 hour job" the other night? It is a bit hard to see to finish a job after dark.

Bean, aneurysm was on my short list of possibilities also. I have not read in the news either about autopsy, but seems the thing to do.

YES, I do keep a copy of Rainbow Bridge on hand. I have printed many copies for local friends, and sent many via internet, I still cry when I read it.
