Hair Mats???

Started saving all the beautiful fluffy fur my pups are blowing right now. Trying to figure out how to send it to this group for hair mats for the oil spill. Lots of brushing, lots of fur!

well.... this didn't work out, no one wanted my bags of hair.

Another 5K, today LOL

Tala and I did the Ararat River walk again. This time I wore my new walking shoes -yikes! they really give you a good workout! I could feel my muscles burning. Tala had fun too, it was pretty hot and she enjoyed the stops for quick drinks in the river, I had my water bottle but by the end I wanted to throw myself into that cold water! Tala had lots of people tell her she was pretty -so of course, it was another 5star day for my manatee-siberian! She is building a fan club, well, except for that one guy with the boxer.... 

Rich and Mukki Highway Hobo Training

Rich's employer, Southdata, sponsors the cleanup of a section of the roadway. Several of the employees go to clean up monthly... either Rich was trying to get Mukki to earn his keep again by picking up trash or they are just so in love they can not bear to be apart... LOL

Another Day, Another Walk

Rich and I went to the Ararat Riverside walk, the one I did Thursday and Friday. He was going to mush the boys and Lulu but she kept worming her way out of her harness. Rich took her off the gangline and handed her off to me, which I think she preferred. He wanted to go neckline-free, which would have been bad.

Rich said Quinn still needs to focus more on the path but it didn't help when a wild turkey strolled out onto the path ten feet in front of them! Rich said the turkey looked stunned and gobble-swaked something hat sounded like "Oh, Sh1t!" ha ha

3.5 miles and saw a fox!

Took Tala on a 3.5 mile walk along the Ararat River in Mt Airy this morning. It's a new walking path that is really lovely. On the way back, we saw a fox running on the bank across the river. Tala just plopped her fat butt down and tilted her head from side to side and sighed! Not sure whether she was tired to jump and bark at it or knew she was on a leash and not able to chase it!

We are going to try to do this walk daily -we need to lose weight!

OMG!!! Bad puppy!

So the bills are starting to roll in from Rich's lacerated kidney when Quinn jumped on his back whilst he was sleeping... looks to be over $7500.... that dog needs a job! I hope Blue Cross Blue Shield is gonna pay!

Quinn's List of Shame: PRICELESS

After this week and multiple visits to the doctor, Quinn has earned his own List of Shame. Rich was kidney punched by the flying nitwit who landed on Rich's back, his right kidney, in fact -point on! Rich apparently had a slight laceration but it's healed. I was relieved when he was put back on full duty since walking and caring for all 4 was a bit much... Until this morning, when Quinn body-slammed me as I was rushing down the stairs. Ankle swollen and my plans put off and now Rich has full dog duties... sigh.
