I hate to admit it

So.. it seems that no matter how little I eat or how much I work out, I can't lose weight unless I stop drinking wine. What is a girl to do? The prediction is ( from Mere and Newell) that without the wine, the weight will just fall off of me. Well, we'll see. I am going to give it a try. So.. just a warning.. I am not drinking wine, and I anticipate that I will be fabulous looking very soon, I may not be nice anymore, but I will look great. Stay tuned.

There Here

So.. today we welcomed 7 new Tanner babies. 3 boys and 4 girls. The momma is our Roxy who did a great job.. All day she panted and pushed and we encouraged. It all went so well and I am so happy. I can't remember the last time we had puppies here that were not born by c section. My faith in the dogs has been renewed and I now know that if you let mother nature takes its course, all will be well. I am now having a glass (or two ) of wine and off to bed. Georgeanne is spending the night, so she will sleep on the couch. I will have couch duty for the rest of the time.. YEA!!!

Watching the Temperature

So.. Roxy is due this weekend. We xrayed 8 babies. 7 are all in a row and one is off by himself. Hopefully not to cause us any trouble. I have started to take her temp and I think my thermometer is off. I have now taken it three times this morning and I have gotten 3 different temps. She seems fine, and ate all of her breakfast. Maybe I'll go and buy a new thermometer. Off to the dog show and hopefully not coming home to puppies.

Timing is Everything

So.. Frieda came into season 5 weeks early. Her boyfriend lives in Nebraska about a 20 hour drive for us. So... we are going to try the fresh chilled method. I have been progesterone testing and as of Monday she was still early. But looking back she usually breeds her 12-13 days which are Thursday and FRiday. Well, my vet is not available on Thursday and the boyfriend's vet is not available on Friday. What to do? What to do? So, without the number support I had them ship some fish for today.. and then some for Friday. Hopefully my instincts and Frieda's regularity will be enough. Timing is everything.

This was the worst blog ever

So how wonderful... First thing this morning.. Meredith calls to tell me that my last blog gets a grade F. Worst blog ever.. No effort.. Now not only is she the clothes, weight and hairdo police, she is the blog police as well. How do I live my life every day without her constant appraisal of me. I just don't know. Well,, I am trying my best. It may not be up to her standards, but I am trying. Off to the dog show.. No laptop so probably no blog this weekend. Sorry Meredith.

Here I am

Well, I guess I am back in business on the laptop. Maybe Andrew will help this weekend when I see him and show me how to post to the Ipad. Anyway.. Tanner was BOB both days so far in Fredericksburg and looks as good as he has.. He has puppies coming at the end of the month and all is well. Frieda is getting ready to have her fish flown in from Nebraska, we'll see how that goes.. I will keep you updated.

Where have you been?

So.. I have been getting a lot of flack about why I haven't been posting. Well, besides from having the flu and driving back and forth to Lexington KY... the biggest problem was this. I got a IPad for Christmas. It is the coolest thing. but... that means I don't spend as much time on the desk top and for some reason I can't blog from the IPad.. If one of my techy kids can change that for me, than I promise you will hear my endless and blathering thoughts daily.
