Have you thought about taki...And how is foot doing?<br />Have you thought about takig Kid to Doggy Bootcamp? I took Tank (he weighs about 185 pounds) and it worked miracles with him. Class was twice a week for an hour and then i worked him about an hour a day. He is hand trained now...I give hi hand signals and he obeys like a sheep herding dog. He does tricks (not fancy ones ut he will wait, stay, roll over, you know, just normal doggy tricks). He loves being so smart. ANd he did learn how to stay IN MY YARD. He would go to the very edge of the yard and bark like a wild thing, but would not step a foot over the grass. IT only took him six weeks to figure that out. And working with him helped my shoulder recover.<br />Just a thought..and it might not help at all. I did ask my physical therapist what he thought before I started off. He's a dog person, so he gave me the okay but told me to take some tylenol and put on heat pads when I was done. One of the the first thengs Tank learned was "No Pulling!!!" <br />I got a chain collar at Pet Smart ..not a choke chair but another kind that helps to remind dogs to obey. Can't remember what it's called but the Pet Smart peole know what it's called. It's has metal chains but is NOT a choke collar. Works like a charm. Doesn't hurt him...or you.<br /><br />Is it spring there yet? I'm getting pots for my container garden on payday. I miss my garden the most of everything. I'm going to use plain terra cotta pots.<br /><br />Did i mention that I bought a large big=rd cage (parrot sized) and some white fan tail dove? I just like the sound on the veranda.<br />We have a local Facebook page called "Gently used Reasonably Priced No drama"...it's for local yard sale kind of stuff...you post the photo, name your price and voila! it's sold. Usually within a couple of days. (You could start one and start yardselling your stuff and not have to drag everything out into the yard)<br /><br />Larry could go/be with you (Mike goes with me ALWAYS) and you meet such nice people. I met a gal who can't afford to quilt but she does quilts on order...she goes fabric shopping with her clients so she doesn't get stuck making something hideous and helps pick out the pattern (so she doesn't get stuck with some God awful impossible pattern) and then quilts in front of the television. Her husband is very ill and this gives her something to do that she really loves. We're going to my next quilt club meeting (I'm not a quilter but a lot of my fiends are). I mainly do the tied quilts we make for the police and Highway Patrol guys take in their cars in case kids have to be removed from their homes. Oh, I've met some men who are total horses asses...why is it always the men who are like that and the women are so nice?<br /><br />Anyway, it is late and time for me to stop yapping. Hope the weather is getting nicer and your foot is giving you less bad weather trouble.Chloehttp://chloeknits.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23517854.post-42059197525404729212012-03-06T17:18:46.500-08:002012-03-06T17:18:46.500-08:00I totally get you about having dreams that just ar...I totally get you about having dreams that just aren't going to happen. Part of it is that my dreams weren't realistic and part of it is that the world has a way of grinding those dreams to fit reality.<br /><br />Your life sounds like it works and is peaceful and calm...three things that are in short supply in reality!Chloehttp://chloeknits.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
