Starting off 2011

Well, it's been a good start so far, I think. I've not been exercising like I should...or at all...but otherwise, good!

Staying incredibly busy with the pet sitting business. I have an adorable new training client, "Ruth" who is a Jack Russell Terrier. Probably picking up a standard poodle puppy next week, as well. I dare say it seems to be picking up steam...don't want to jinx myself, though!

Robby & I are both back in school. I'm taking 18 hours this semester (spread out over two sessions...so 9 hours each 8 weeks.) Let me tell you, it's a mess! It seems I just finish one paper and I'm off to write another. I keep telling myself I only have one year to go...better not stop now (again!) Robby is only taking 3 hours right now just to finish his associates. He'll enroll at UCO for the summer or fall semester to start finishing up his Bachelor's.

Dogs are all doing well - Daisy is a little fireball of energy sometimes, but then she just cuddles up and is oh-so-cute! Skye & Cloud take turns chasing birds (and airplanes). Lexi went through a week long mopey period. She was sure fussy! V is well, old, nothing new on her. She likes laying out in the sun when the weather is nice, otherwise she's at the door barking to come back inside, whether she has her jacket on or not.

The bull horns we got for Christmas have yet to be hung. We've made two failed attempts. Back to the drawing board...They're currently sitting on the floor in the nursery. Maybe we should just hang them over the crib? naah....

Oh, and "Snowball" the dwarf hamster we got during the winter olympics last year is still doing good. He's so fat! Looks like a little grey & white roly poly, haha. But, he runs on his wheel every night. He has the funniest little tunnels going to his houses from the wheel and the food bowl.

I renewed my CGC evaluator certification, so I'm good to go for another 2 years. I have fun doing them, and they just started allowing harnesses again, so that'll help some people out...especially the bracheo breeds (pugs, bostons, etc....short noses!) It's so hard for them to wear a collar and still breath good!

And as far as renewals go -- we also renewed our zoo membership. I'm hoping to spend more time out there this year, especially when the elephants make their way back out.

Guess that's all for now!
