Day One - A Walk on the Beach
Arrived late last night (1 am NY time) cranky and exhausted. Woke up this morning to a magnificent day – sun shining, not a cloud in the sky, 65 - 70 degrees. Birds were singing and flowers blooming – just beautiful!! Went for a walk on the beach - low tide – miles of beach – surfers surfing, kayakers kayaking, divers diving. Not much in the way of wildlife today – no pelicans, porpoises or seals – just humans playing in the sun enjoying life………no thoughts of politics, war or the economy……LIFE IS GOOD!

Popular Dog Magazine
Hi everyone...just thought I'd let you know that I did speak to a freelance writer regarding Mini-Schnauzers and dog therapy. I also sent her a bunch of pictures of Kinsey in action. The article will be in a magazine called Popular Dog. They also publish Dog Fancy. I believe the issue is dedicated to schnauzers and the therapy part is just one item. I also know that this won't be about Kinsey only. There were many other mini-schnauzers nationwide who are therapy dogs too..so hopefully Kinsey will be mentioned and there will be a picture. It sounded like we will be included because she's going to have a copy sent to us. The magazine will be out in May. The editors will decided which pictures to use...so we'll see!
Kinsey is shinning her paws in anticipation of having to "sign" copies of the article.
On a different note, you week dayers will see me more often in the next couple of months. I have vacation time from 2007 that I need to use up.
And I can't wait to use them...this week we had a fight outside the clinic, complete with a knife and police! See you on Saturday.......(2/9/08 - which is Eagle watch day)

Guns & Ammo!
When I saw the image on this page it reminded me of this mural painted on the wall of the former U.S. embassy in Teheran.
Perhaps the Iranians have a point, and we actually are gun-toting homicidal maniacs...

Sunday 1.20.08
The temperature this AM was 20 degrees or pretty near it, with wind, though it wasn't quite a wind storm. Judy had on her new, warmest coat ever, parka on....and for the first time, in this type of weather, Judy actually said she was sweating!
And speaking of Judy....she also let me know that at the bottom of each post is a comment link, where we can just comment on that particular subject.....
For some of you who only saw Josh's "wildlife" photos, please take a look at the photos of our pups in action. They are GREAT shots and he added a few more. Just go to his post, look at the first sentence and there's a link right in there for the dam photos!
I'm thrilled to have a three day weekend, so I'll see you all tomorrow. And Welcome to Gilly who is now a registered member of our blog!

The non snow day
Imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning, not setting my alarm, thinking I'd have the day off, to a dusting of snow on the grass only! And I saved my laundry to do for today! And worse, I told the "girls" that I'd be off today! But here I am, at work.
I would have taken today off if I wasn't going to be at a three day training in Middleton NY on Tuesday, Wed. and Thursday. As one of my counselors suggested..why don't I take Friday off and then have a nice long weekend (Monday is Martin Luther Kings Day)...which I am seriously thinking about doing...which means you may see us on Friday.....even though they are predicting messy weather....by so much for their validity!!!!!!!

Sunday before the snow
Hi everyone...first, I'd like to say, if you haven't looked at Josh's photos, please do so...they are simply fantastic! I'm also impressed that Josh could set up a link on the blog......You'll have to teach us that Josh.
Actually, I know I said, first, I'd like to say...but I don't think there is a second! Since we were all together today. Linda is going over to Ethel's now to do that warping thing at her house as we speak......
Depending on the snow tomorrow, I might see you all, but probably not! Not with my short legged pups......
be safe out there tomorrow.....JATC at Thompson. OK, what do you think that stands for??
Scroll down.......
