Party time!

PUPPY PARTY, that is! After our walk yesterday, we went to the doggie play day. Here are a few pics from it. (Sorry about the darkness of two of them, I'm not a great photographer)


I love this last picture...someone was having a bad day!

The dogs are hilarious and there are usually a few puppies that are so sweet and cuddly that you just want to hold them forever. The funniest thing, though, is the non-stop activity of the dogs. They are like drunk bumblebees. When B was younger, he would run and run until he was ready to collapse. Now that he’s older, he runs and runs but keeps an eye on me and after about an hour he’s ready to leave.

This morning, we went on "the big walk" with my friend and her two dogs K & O (the ones who stayed with us a few weeks ago). It was a great way to start the day. The rest of the day was the usual…eating breakfast, watching TV, grocery shopping. Right now I’m halfway watching Celebrity Apprentice…I wonder if the men will be able to make a comeback after getting their butts whooped by the women 3 weeks in a row?

This week I’ll be attending a class on the fire code…I know, please don’t be jealous that I get to spend the week doing something SOOO exciting! Lol I’ve spent over 25 years in my field so most of the material will be review, but these classes are always interesting as you can often glean something you never knew before. Lest you think I spend all my time at classes, this is the first time in 3 years that I’ve had the time to go to any training due to workload. Now that the economy (and thus development) is slowing a bit, so has my job and now it’s at least down to a manageable pace. I feel as if I’ve not kept up to the professional level that I should because for so long we were just trying to keep our heads above water. But the economic bubble has definitely burst, so I’m trying to take a positive approach by improving some of my long-neglected skills.

The down side will be again being out of my normal work routine, but I’m going to take my lunch again this week to try to stay away from fast food. I should also be getting home a bit earlier than usual and will be able to work out then…and since it is staying light longer, I may even be able to take B for a walk each evening!

I know I said I was going to discuss my therapy, and I really want to… but you know, whenever I start to write about it, I get kind of anxious. Maybe it’s too soon for me to be too open about it. I think if I give myself a few weeks to get comfortable, I’ll be able to write about it then…

I can't believe it...in the promo for the news, they are predicting snow tomorrow. Maybe it will just be in the higher elevations. Anyway, I hope everyone is looking forward to a good week. See you later!

  1. Definitely don't force yourself to write about anything. It will come when it is meant to, and that may be never. Thank you for you comment. Yes, for perhaps the first time ever, I didn't stuff my anger with food. However, I needed back to back workout sessions to combat that feeling. Maybe I'll just become addicted to exercise...I hear there are people like that too.

  2. Puppy play day looks like a lot of fun. I would be in my glory being surrounded by all the cute little dogs, big dogs too.

    It makes sense that you're struggling with discussing your therapy. There is always some intense discovery and it's hard to just open up with the world when you're just figuring it in your own head at this point.

    Big hugs!

  3. That's so cute - a play centre for dogs!

    Take your time and explore your sessions when you feel ready.

  4. Holy shit! I almost died from exictement over the thought of fire code! Woot!

    Ummm... how cute are those dogs!?!! I sometimes wish I had gone with smaller breeds...but there is a need for pitbull adoption more than small breeds (in Spokane). There are not any pitbull play groups... ha! I cannot even imagine. If it is not muddy outside I will take pictures of next Saturday's visit to the dog park when the herd of dane's are present.

    I support you in waiting on talking about your stuff. Just know that this is a great place to put shit out there- no one knows who you are, and cannot judge in that face to face way... and plus... just hop on over to my blog- I am crazy all the time!!
