Dr Couto
It’s been a busy few days but I am finally getting back to writing a little something here.
On Saturday, we went to the Dr Couto event. Although we have been at the same events as him a few times, this was the first time that we were actually able to hear his talk. He is an excellent speaker, very entertaining, and very interesting. If you ever have the opportunity to hear him speak, don’t miss out on the chance.
Dr Couto is conducting intensive research into canine cancer (specifically in greyhounds although the results will benefit all dogs and people). He spoke about the research they are doing, the results, what they have found so far and published information about, and what they hope to achieve. It was all very interesting and we remain hopeful that his research will be successful.
Organic Eco-friendly Pet Plushie
Take a look at these dog toys! They are fabulous!
Three out of our five dogs love to play with stuffies. These are chemical-free and safe for your dog - what a “treat” that would be. A safe dog toy! And they are super cute too…
These are greyt!
Virus?
I have been in pain (nothing major) for the past week or so. I have had a sinus headache and neck/backache for the past week (give or take a few days). It has to be some sort of virus that I can’t seem to shake. Needless to say, I haven’t got much work done this past week and I’ve been sleeping alot which is unusual for me. I really wish this would go away…I can’t wait until I am feeling better again.
The only good thing from this is that I have been working on an updated home page for Greyt Inspirations. It needs better navigation and to be easier to read so I thought I would take these “off” days and work on that. I am thinking it will be ready within the next few days so watch for that update…
Meet Osita!
Osita is a a 6 year old Black Russian Terrier mix that was finally bailed from the West LA Shelter. She is a very healthy girl who loves to go on walks and rides in the car.
She is house broken after all this time in the shelter and has had some basic training- her favorite thing to do is “Sit” on command and stare up at you with her sweet puppy eyes. She loves to play with other doggies and has a very calm and serene disposition. Osita sounds like such a good pup, you’ll never need tracking for her!
Oh the joys of Ontario weather
Approximately 3 weeks ago, we had a major snowstorm. The last 2 weeks we were in t-shirts and sandals. This morning I woke up to rain mixed with snow.
I want the warmth and sunshine back! Our dogs do too…they love to lay out on the deck in the sunshine for hours on end. We leave the patio door open so that they can come and go as they please (at least until the flies and mosquitos start) and they love every minute of it. I don’t blame them one bit after the winter we had. I would love to be able to laze around in the sunshine all day long too.
Keeping Busy
I’ve been very busy the past few days which is probably a good thing considering the bad news I had 2 days ago. Keeping busy keeps me from falling into a “funk” after having lost a good friend and my sister being very sick with cancer.
I have been busy with business inventory, trying to get my income tax finished for 2007, my out of the home job, filling orders, laundry, cleaning up the yard from the winter months, trying to keep the house somewhat clean - this is a very difficult one with 5 dogs and all the dirt in the backyard as the grass is just now starting to grow back and much more…
At the same time, I have been seriously thinking about the future and trying to make some very important decisions. Needless to say, my mind is racing and I need some down-time without any thoughts.
What would you do?
Yesterday, a friend of our passed away suddenly. Her husband travels for his job so they have to find new homes for all their animals. It’s terribly sad that this has happened to such a wonderful person and we’ll miss her dearly. Her husband is understandably devestated and on top of all that has happened, he has to rehome all their dearly beloved pets. Luckily, she has a large circle of friends so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find good homes…
It has got us to thinking, do you have plans for your pets should something happen to you? We don’t, but we will! This is something that I need to do right away. I can’t stand the thought that our dogs may not have somewhere "suitable" and a loving environment to go to. My preference is that they would be able to go to our friends. We’ll be working on those plans right away…
Yesterday was a horribly sad day! It’ll take awhile to get over this shock - she was a good friend. I feel so sad.
