Nice to go on up Thursday after work, as we got to have a boat
ride Friday and waters weren't so rough due to weekend boat
traffic. Also, not as crowded for Rusty & I to swim off the
boat launch dock. I have this foamy type raft that Rusty
learned to climb up on 2 yrs ago, when he was a tiny pup.
Everyone who is launching their boats think its the cutest
thing. When I'd lie on my stomach & swim out, he comes after
me & climb on my back.
Well...that was LAST year. This year, he climbs on by himself,
and if he stands in just the right part of the raft, he can balance
himself. Was pretty much doing it last year, but much better this
year. Will have to send a dig pic as soon as we get them on the puter.
Mel had sent me an e-mail from her sis's much earlier than when she
finally figured out to get on the board. She wanted me to report for
her why she was MIA. And MAE, she said to tell you she wants to "quit"
with you on Aug 4. She says the boys will be back in school then.
Boy, they sure do start early down there.
She was taking a nap back at home b4 work tonite, but talked to her
other 2 sisters. They are hoping the doc will put her Mom back in rehab
when they go see him tomorrow....this is buy them some time to find
an assisted living facility. Lots of decisions to make, as she MAY
go to another city/state. I'm must praying they can somehow maneuver
another 3 weeks in rehab. Her Mom is mobile on her walker, as she is
STILL sneaking out side for a smoke. AGGGGGKKKK!!
Am going to try to catch up a bit on the board.
Hil, I hope you are not too lonesome:), and Barb, I hope you are getting
a good R & R weekend at home.
xoxo to Hugs & Golly & everybuddy else.
Hey, H or G, can you see there is still an iv board "Caregiver's Support"?
I had it in my favs, but doesn't seem to still be there. Thought it might
be good to send to Mel's big sis. Thanks in advance for looking-I TRIED!

Your dog sounds like a case!!! wonder where he gets that from lol!! We had a mut once that used to dive into the swimming pool after rocks - not a lot of teeth left in the end! Send a picture I would love to see it on the web site.
Just joined the "working girls" at the gym. 5.45 a.m. class plus rode 10 kilometres on the bike uphill (took 24 minutes, not too bad). Kept up so that was good, left some of them behind as well. Yeah for us 50 year olds!!! Mind you at one stage my heart moved six higher in my chest!!
Oh no, starting to waffle......and you have a lot to catch up on. So, see ya! Hilary
Yes it was a weekend or R&R--a few turns around my garden to pick veggies--watering my container plants--catching up on the board--and some other internet stuff (paying bills etc.). So glad you had some good boating--sometimes I miss it--just don't miss the maintenance (my boat was wooden) LOL
Take care--enjoy your week!!!!
Barb

Hey, Hil, you could have made a million & put that dog on "Amazing Dog Tricks"
videos or somethin'!
Need to try to get Rusty to jump off the pier......my next mission. Our other dog,
Bo, would ALWAYS jump off the pier at a friend's lake, then climb up the 'people'
ladder It was great! Would do it every time I'd dive in.
But where we swim @ our place @ the marina....he can always 'walk' in, then swim
after me. Doesn't HAVE to jump off the pier. So..........this will be a challenge!

MAINTENANCE....the *key* word in why we DON'T have a boat...our 2 main friends at the
marina seem to have their boat in the shop more than not. What a headache! I just
have a little paddle boat...and always hope that I'll find someone who will take me
for a spin in a regular boat...preferably a pontoon boat ~~ I no longer need *speed*
on the waterways. I can just sit on my deck & WATCH those crazy fools out there w/
their jetskis and $50m boats.
Barb, so nice to see some 'relaxed' posts from you this weekend. Hope next week IS
better without the head honchos there:)

nothing like this one. No wonder I didn't linger there long. But...
perhaps it can be of help to my friend.
You're right...it WAS quiet here this weekend. Glad you, Golly & Barb
were around to keep our Hilary company
G'nite all. I'm *fixin'* (my fav southern expression) to crawl in bed
with my People magazine and call it an early night. Need to be rested
for work tomorrow...UGH UGH UGH!

**Sounds very cute, LOL .. Such a sight I imagine :)

**Sounds like a smart dog to me if he knows he doesn't *have* to jump but walk right in

**Yes very quiet .. not bad though ..
Wouldn't mind *one* more day of quiet
