So it's been awhile...

Mary Lou has undergone her first IV treatment, and for the most part it seems to have worked, although she apparently seems to have used up a lot of the energy pretty fast. That's something to keep in mind as we continue through the process.

Brandon has been dealing with a bad tooth, and is finally able to get it pulled... work schedules get in the way of that sort of thing sometimes.

Tyler has been promoted to associate trainer in dog class, and he's really happy with that honor.

All in all, things are going pretty well here.

So, it's a Tuesday night in mid-February, and tonight is a special night.

Tonight at service dog class, we're having another graduation, as a couple of the dogs and their handlers, who have been working hard for two years, graduate from the program and move on in life.

It's quite a big deal to everyone. This is what we work hard for, and it's a lot of fun to see them reach this goal. At the same time, though, it's a bit sad, because I get attached to some of the dogs, and become friends with people. We don't always see much of them after graduation, but sometimes we do. That's always fun.

So, tonight, it's DOG NIGHT!!  :o)

Cheers, or maybe...   WOOF!!

Super Bowl is over and done with... the world has survived the associated black-out, so let's move on...

Hockey season is picking up, lots to watch on TV. I've been reading more of my hockey books, so don't forget to check out my review at my other site. The link is on the right...

We're all having a pretty good time here. The weather is getting better, not so cold at night. Now, if I could just figure out how to actually sleep at night. Must be something in the air, I guess...

The dogs are keeping life interesting... especially keeping them entertained and trained.

Cheers for now!

Puppy Update!  He's got a name: Carmello, although we all just call him Mello... and he's very well named. He's got a very mellow personality. He went with us to the hockey game last night, and he was very well behaved. It was a very crowded game, over 9000 people in the MC, about 90% full, I'd guess... and Mello slept during a lot of it. He didn't seem to be terribly worried about all the noise from the crowd, or us.

Other than that, things are relatively quiet as we move into February. No one is watching the Super Bowl, and I'm not sure that anyone is even interested. Such is life some days... it does make for a quieter home though.

Looking forward, I don't see much on the calendar at this point, which means it should all come at once. (groan)

Cheers!
