Monday Morning Quickie

-
Hey everyone! Just a quick update before it is off to get another busy week rolling.

Two dog walks this weekend at the off-leash park, a big bull snake (about 5 footer) was spotted on Saturday, and then I saw one of the 5 tornado's that hit the area yesterday! Pretty scary, the bad weather moved right over the top of us moving west to east and built up quite fast.



I didn't get a shot of the twister.

Montana goes to the Vet this morning to get spayed, she doesn't understand why she isn't getting breakfast this morning.

We had the last of the graduation parties to go to. Skyler's friend since grade school, Michael, will be leaving at the end of summer to go to a school that specializes in acting back east.



Take care everyone, see you around the blogospere...

    Poor Montana. Make sure you get some pain meds for her on discharge. Some vets seem to ignore this and it makes me mad. Our poor cat, who has now endured four (4) visits to the vet for a necessary declaw (rampant infections), has been on decreasing amounts of pain meds and it has greatly helped in his recovery.

    You know you shouldn't be taping tornados, right? You should be in the basement blogging!

    Giggling @ Cora who thinks snakes are for snacking. ; )

    And this is why I prefer earthquakes to tornadoes.

    Man, that sucks that Skyler's friend is moving away. I hope his other friends fill in the gaps for him.

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
