Aisling:

I forgot your baby was sick at the get go, makes sense to not take him out with that. Sorry.

I hope the ideas work for ya

Just wanted to say hi and bye....

Willie and I are going to DISNEYLAND for his bday tomorrow.

We fly out of San Jose at 7:15 am to Santa Ana arrive at 8:30am

We taxi to Dland and play all day (Willie gets in free since it's his bday)

Then we fly home at 8:30pm

Should be a totally fun day. Just me and my boy

 

[Aisling]

Wow how cool! Happy happy birthday to Wilson. You're both going to have a fantastic time.

I am so glad my tips may help you Aisling...

I read alot and watch shows like the English dog expert lady. The papers toward the door is her idea, the habit points are from living with 3 dogs now in our last ten years.

 

[Aisling]

Hi kids,
Nan, how was your DL trip?

Anjelica, I received the Photopass CD today! Thank you!!!

 

[Aisling]

Well, my puppy is having his neutering surgery right now. I know he'll be ok, but I just wish I could have stayed with him to be there when he wakes up. I pick him up tonight at 7. To make thinhs hard for me, my lovely dear mother called to say that I was castrating my dog, that it's a terrible thing to do, that he'll be a "different dog" when he comes home yada yada yada. This is from a woman who never owned a dog in her life. Then I call my dad (they're divorced), and he made me feel better by laughing and saying that Brian is going to be a cone-head for a few days, having to wear that lampshade thing to keep him from licking his stitches. It's crazy how much I love that dog.

Edited to add: my dad also said the way they neutered their dogs way back when was to tie a string around the dog's privates!!

You know better than to listen to your Mom!

Penny went for her follow up today. Her hernia may have popped thru

She has another appt set for next month to see if it is fluid or a hernia complication. The doc wants to spay her when she goes back in. Either way, the doc has to operatebecause Penny has hip displasia which means her hip bones are not in the sockets where they belong. The doc wants to fix that and it is better that it be done now while she is young.

 

[CADZNYCHC]

Checkin in to see how everyone is doing????? AISLING...OMG - YES come visit!!! we'll find some FUN things to do...between Nan, Chel & Rus & myself -we'll keep you busy...

we're all at seascape WAITING for Nan & Elizabeth -they are SO SOOOOOOO LATE...just hope they are okay & only got hung up with traffic or something silly

 

[Aisling]

Tig, I'm sending my love to sweet little Penny. When both of our poochies are better, we have to set them up for a playdate. They may fall in love, and then you and I will be in-laws! But we won't have any "grandpuppies" out of them!

Brian is home from the vets and is well, He's still a bit loopy from the anesthesia, but he was able to eat a little bit, so I'm happy. I can't believe the concern Mel is showing for Brian; it's not like him to be like that. But I guess it goes to show he does have a mushy heart under that stone cold veneer. I even heard thru the grapevine that he talks about Brian at work! So all I need to do is grow a long tail and a pair of floppy ears and he'll want to take me on a second honeymoon!

I'm out in the car waiting for Jesse. He's out with friends and I'm not comfortable with him taking the subway late at night, even though I have to admit the subways have been really safe from nuts the last few years. Well, more than the last few years...this city has really changed for the better when Guiliani was our mayor, and thankfully it had continued.

Tomorrow Chad and Louise are going away for the weekend to Howe Caverns in upstate NY. Jesse has his Dope photoshoot, Mel will be at the tennis club with my brother (Cory's daddy), and his wife, my SIL and best friend is coming over to see Brian.

Oh, good news, Jesse's going to be in Harper's Bazaar fashion magazine. I don't know when it comes out, but I'll send a copy to anyone who'd like to have one so you won't have to buy one if you wouid like to see it.

Tig, how far are you from Wildwood? Chad's in his first Mixed Martial Arts fight there next month. Maybe you can grab your kids and meet us there. I'll give you more details as he tells me.

There's Jesse, si I gotta go.

I wish you all a great weekend, and Brenda, Rus, Debbie, and Nan, I'll let you know if I'm going to make that solo trip out west!

Luv you all!

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Yes Aisling! I want to see Jesse's magazine shoot!

Wildwood is about two and a half hours south for me. NY is actually closer. Next time I come will probably be after I get the muffler replaced on my explorer. I want to drive up and that will also make it possible to bring Penny along for a puppy playdate

Here's my baby with the cone collar on. I feel so bad for him, but when I took it off out of pity, he immediately began to lick and chew at his stitches, so it went right back on. Infection is worse than a few more days of frustration for him. He's back to his normal active self, except when he gets his pain med, which makes him sleepy. But that's good...he can't focus on the collar while in Dreamland.

How are you kids enjoying your weekend?

 

[CADZNYCHC]

Hi Aisling....having a great time here on the coast...having fun with Facebook more than cropping
Brian looks cute with his collar....

Nan & I both definitely want the Harpers with Jesse's photo shoot....

 

[tiggerwannabe]

Brenda, you are hooked on the games over there, arent you?

Aisling, you seem like the type that might enjoy a good Mafia war

I use mine to talk...most of my Disney friends live nowhere near me. With facebook, I talk all over the world. Literally! Masayo and her hubby live in Japan!

 

[CADZNYCHC]

It's all Rus & Nan's FAULT....they got me hooked on the Mafia Wars AND now even the Pathwords - a good fill in while my "energy" recharges......LOL!!!

Totally loving how facebook has put in touch with all my HS friends...and have found that some of them have even moved out here to Cali - had NO idea so many had left Iowa....

also love staying up with what all of you are doing too & facebook keeps us all updated

 

[tiggerwannabe]

I am on too many forums to keep up with the games

Is Disunc your friend over there yet? He likes the games, Chad's Louise does too

 

[artman]

Oh, good news, Jesse's going to be in Harper's Bazaar fashion magazine. I don't know when it comes out,

Keep us posted on the release date, we will be sure to pick up a copy so we can see our celeb friend.

We have a cruise booked for this Christmas, but we are going to push the date ahead a year. After a bunch of searching I found us three flights to California (LAX) from Dec 21 - 31 using my aeroplan points. Our plan is to do Disneyland and Universal for a few days then on to San Diego.

Miss you all.

 

[Marla Hellwig]

morning all

been crazy around here - can't seem to keep caught up

Hopefully everyone's 4 footed friends are healing or healed

We are running away to WDW 03/27 - 04/04 - I am going to WDW for my birthday

Then home and unless something comes up - we are home until our cruise July 2010

Our plans so far - getting rid of all the clutter and crap around the house and painiting and carpeting and maybe some new furniture

Our backyard is a total mess with lots of overgrown what ever - but going to hire someone to do that and need a new fence gate

have a good one everyone

 

[Aisling]

Aisling, you seem like the type that might enjoy a good Mafia war

That sounds really tempting.

Got anything else?

Artie, so you have two trips to plan for...my idea of fantastic. Will you be staying in one of the DL onsite hotels?

OMG I'm seriously in need of a Disney trip! Marla, good for you to take advantage of the free birthday admission. It's getting close. Any ADRs and/or other plans to share with us?

 

[Aisling]

So Brenda, tell the truth, does Nan really scrap??
