Hi Forward, how is renovation coming along?

The reno is going well, we keep adding more to it. I took all my electric appliances down to the basement , the only downside is I don't have a sink downstairs.

Wishing a Happy Easter to all the Owlettes! I've followed this board since last summer and am so thankful for the wisdom y'all have shared. I've learned so much here ~ most importantly Chevyboy's expert advice "leave enough room to fall" !
Prior to my suprise dx of stage iv breast to bone cancer I was a professional dog trainer with my own small business. I keep my license and certifications current hoping to one day be able to return to my "doggie work".
Loveroflife - you have done such wonders with Mitzy! Most Shepherds with her sad past would not have been able to adjust at all to life with a family. She is a special girl! Shepherds do have problems with properly metabilizing nutrients from their food. This leads to some of the skin problems they can have. Prozyme works wonders. It is an enzyme supplement in powder form that is mixed in with your dog's regular food. Your local pet store should have it. Amazon sells it as well. Dog food brands can be as touchy a subject as politics or religion.....I shall tread lightly and say that Eagle Pack Power Adult dry dog food has been what I've fed my German Shepherd for the past 12 years. It meets her need for higher protein and calories. Easy on her tummy and good for her skin and joints. And as you can see in my avatar, kitty approved :-)
JazzyJuneBug - My parents divorced when I was very young and my "father" was not a great parent/person. I only saw him sporatically during my childhood. The last time I saw him I was 22. He contacted me out of the blue on my 50th birthday five months ago. Very unexpected, no contact of any sort for almost 30 years. I don't know if I have any half siblings. I found your research into your father's past interesting. Have you decided on whether or not to contact your half sister? My mother also has very strong, negative feelings about my "father" ~ I guess I do too. I admire your tenacity in finding all your info and wish you a positive outcome whatever your decision.
Sas-Schatzi - Love all your glass pics! I am amazed at how you can examine each design and determine exactly when/where it was made. My husband and I are both "junkers"....well, he's a junker, I'm a treasure finder. Any trip we've ever taken has been preplanned to include new and favorite shops. Orlando and St. Petersburg have the BEST places. My husband's fave is Webster for the giant flea market on Monday mornings. Always great finds!
Hoping to come back and "play" if I may ...........

Lover: this hair thing! I got 'peremptory challenged' right out of the jury box last Tuesday, and Certain Husband said, with an absolutely straight face, "It was because of your hair." Hmph.

Hahahahaha....so was it the defense or prosecuting attorney who dismissed you?
Sensi, good you were able to get away. Tahoe is so beautiful. Did you by chance hike or ski? With the wet weather we were given, I bet the snow cap mountains wer majestic.

Shepkitty, WELCOME! Thank you for your kind suggestions. So you are kind of like a female version of the dog whisperer Cesar Millan? Hah! Too bad you live so far away. I can't believe you had been lurking for so long. I guess I can't really play a joke on you then
Talk about lurking....,hello Eeyore, Mema, HiHo (have not seen you for a long time), and I know I am forgetting someone...well you know who you are. Hug0 -
Welcome ShepKitty!

Lover, thanks for the shoot out.
To all my friends here, I was dx about 3 weeks ago with innumerable liver mets. I had one tx of Taxatere 2 weeks ago. Nasty stuff. My hair is ready to be shaved, falling out, scalp hurts.
Susan & Patty, my admiration for you both has always been there, but after the last 3 weeks it has grown. You both have been fantastic role models. Thanks for that.
Happy B-day Jazzy.....

Nice to see you here Shepkitty, we do love our animals. I have a question, my dog is fifteen and he wants to go for walks, but will only walk a few blocks and then turns around to go home, or I should say digs his feet in. He has a partial torn ligament now, but once it heals I would like him to get more exercise. Is it just aging?
Gingerbrew hope you are all moved in and feeling better

Holeinone sorry to hear you news

Thank you for the welcomes Loveroflife, Ginger and Lookforward!
Loveroflife, your "Mitzy pictures" were priceless ~ you could post them again and I could pretend they are really her ☺
Lookforward, 15 and able to walk blocks? Wow! My old girl and I are lucky to make it to the end of our short street and back! Age will certainly slow him down and the partially torn ligament would cause some discomfort. Is your guy on any meds for pain or inflammation? Ester-C is a really good natural supplement for inflammation. Swimming is the best PT if you have a place to take him. As his ligament heals I would hope your walks will become longer. Your pup is wise to realize his limitations!
Holeinone, sending thoughts of healing and comfort to you.

Holeinone. So sorry.

Lover: dismissed by the prosecuting attorney (our best bet was 'too educated")
Shepkitty: welcome to the refuge
Holeinone: Oh bleep. Keep us posted.

HiO, Sorry to hear your news. Hope that nasty T knocks them out. Are you still having winter there?

Sorry, HI1 on two counts....................
Hi Shepkitty, welcome here glad you joined us. On the dog food I have such mixed feelings. The dogs are trim. Coats luxurious. Little shedding since we started the food(since mid summer). No skin issues. No ear issues. They look great. They have both lost weight which each needed to do. The running varies daily between .8 to 2.4. Most routinely 1.6. The difference is whether their run one to three times a day and It's been that way for years and they each were overweight on the previous food. They are looking the best ever since starting on this food. But since the discussion started here, I've been doing some reading. This is a corn based food. Aldi's basically carries organic foods. I haven't got a bag here to look at the ingredients. But when I did look at them and what I was reading, my sense of it was maybe I wasn't doing right by them. Except when I look at them, it's right. They are very healthy looking and everything has improved since on the Aldi food. Coats, weight, and shedding. Part of me wants to just say it's successful forget about it. I'm good at worrying.
Sensi, did you know Ted & Nancy Schubert in Tahoe? Lovely place only saw it once when we went to Reno gwad in 1979(?).
Happy Easter everyone.

Dropping in to share something briefly. Heard a song this morning on my commute to work and the phrase that touched my heart was " hate divides and love heals". Have a blessed day.
Jazzy, hope you had a good get away and your lungs recover.

That is truly a great phrase.

Hey Owlettes! Happy post Easter. First Easter DH & I missed church in over 20 years. Did roast our leg of lamb, so nice dinner, but just couldn't make it to church. Haven't much moved out of my chair since our whirlwind Branson trip. Just can't seem to recover.
HIO, that's the pits. I hate taxotere, it never leaves. Leaky nose and eyes. But it's worth it if it works, right?
I mentioned a few pages back that I found a pattern for a knit owl swaddle, I went back and looked, I think these are the same pattern but different color schemes.
My Rose loved being swaddled when she was a pup.
MO tomorrow, DH is taking me. And the house is being overrun with ants. One just bit me. On my side. IN MY CHAIR
