We interrupt the Pacific Northwest updates for an important message

-
Today was the day that they close the Seacrest pool in Arvada, just a few miles south of us. As is their tradition, on the last day all dogs are welcome. Just pay 5 bucks per dog and they get to run and play with all the other dogs in the pool!

Today was the biggest turnout ever, as we were driving up the block to the pool, Kathy said "All these cars can't be here for the dog swim, can they?"

The answer was yes, they are all here. Yordi and Montana had a ball, and everyone gets along. It is too much doggie overload for fights.

Check it out!

    That looks like so much fun. I can't believe all those dogs in one place though. It must have been crazy!

    Chris, that is the coolest thing EVER! I wish that all swimming pools would do that on the last day.
    Loved the video. I think I'll probably come back to it from time to time. :)

    I bet that's not the first time Ryyan Seacrest has had dogs in his pool.

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
