Pics are up in the alt.

Spent the last week dog-sitting an extra two dogs. Exhausted. Only got to sleep through the night once. So glad to be back down to my one, relatively well trained, not much of a barker.

Although she did take off after a squirrel the other day and wrench my shoulder good. Had to make an emergency massage appointment as I couldn't raise my arm over my shoulder or turn my head the next day.

Feeling mostly recovered now though.

(((everyone)))

YOW!!!! She tried to pull your arm out of the socket!!!! That must have been miserable. It kind of cracks me up when I see a dog take off after prey. Happens every day around here and I see the owner running like mad to catch them. I honestly don't know why they bother. They certainly can't catch the dog!!! LOL

Glad you're recovering well!

[MichelleLT]

Yeah...problem was I had a good grip on the leash. She didn't get away from me. But I also didn't realize what was going on because she saw the squirrel before I did. She's definitely part lab, strong chase instinct.

She will actually come back to me. I think. She came back to me when she took off after one of the other dogs last week when I opened the garage door without realizing the door from the backyard into the garage was propped open. The other dog didn't, but Kelsey did. I had to get the other dog to chase me into the back yard to get her corralled lol.

So...long time no post. Not much to post.

Work is work.

Kelsey is being a dog. The chewing has come to an end. The digging is mostly come to an end. Long Sunday dog walks with my mom have become pretty routine.

Roger is being a boyfriend. LOL His birthday is today. Taking him out to dinner here tonight.

Getting busy with summer plans. Got some stuff done around the house. The usual and normal and boring stuff. Probably gonna go walk at the river tomorrow. We tried to plan rafting, but the rental companies are holding all rentals because the river is running too high and fast.

Hope everyone is doing well!

That restaurant sounds really cool. Roger is a lucky man and don't let him forget it! Happy Birthday Roger!

Funny how normal doesn't stick out as good. I think after everything we have gone through, normal is great!

Hugs, kat

That place made my mouth water!

Happy birthday Roger!!!!

Kat, you took the words right out of my mouth. After being on such a crazy rollercoaster for so long it does seem strange for so much 'normalcy' to thrw us for a loop.

[MichelleLT]

I am definitely enjoying normal. It's nice to be able to worry about the little things instead of trying to deal with an overwhelming trauma.

Dinner was amazing. They gave us a half glass of bubbly for free as a birthday present. Roger ordered the fish special, which was sturgeon, and I had the rib-eye. Everything was delicious and pretty. For desert we got the summer fruit crostada to split, it was cherry, and the waiter put a candle in it. He claimed he can't sing, but that suited Roger just fine.

All in all a wonderful evening. Only thing that would have made it perfect is if we weren't too full and sleepy when we got home to do anything but go straight to sleep! LOL.

Oh well...cuddling up with a full belly isn't all bad. Did you at least make up for it in the morning??? LOL

All that sounds so good. What river is near you? I rafted the Guadalupe here in Texas with my dad and brothers last year. So fun!

[MichelleLT]

I am close to the Sacramento and American Rivers. The American is of course where all the good rafting is. North fork of the American is not dam controlled, only open part of the season, and the most fun. Middle fork is some good class 3 and 4s. South fork is good beginners rafting.
