I think he likes her...and not just as a snack...now we need to work on making sure he will let her in the door unescorted.

As far as I know I have no big plans tonight, so I should be able to update tonight.

Love the shirt - that is super cute! Great job!

And so glad that your dog likes the intended dog sitter - that will make life so much easier.

AHHHHHHHHHH! GOOD!! Groupon! what a smart idea!!! Good Job!

The dog whisperer is coming over tonight and I have some things for the trip I am working on,

GOOD LUCK! can't wait to hear how it went!

That he does...no next step is to have her come in the house with him loose. Up to this point he has been secured in the back yard while she enters the house, and she is sitting down when he comes in the house. Then once that is done, it is onto her coming into the house with a key, while I am sitting down inside, then finally her going into the house with a key alone. Yes, we have a lot to accomplish in 20 days, but what we have had happen in the last two visits is a BIG milestone for him. Unfortunately he is not treat motivated, and if he is feeling stressed or threatened he will not take treats from ANYONE, but we will make sure she has them...plus the little one LOVES treats! (from anyone) LOL!

Love the shirt, its very cute. Can't wait to see what else she made. Sorry about your ADRs but you still have some good ones there and ADRs can really bog you down sometimes. I am disappointed to hear about the GoWalks. I have heard so much about them I just ordered my first pair which should come in next week but, I need a lot of arch support too.

You may love them! I need serious arch support for my knees and hips. I will say they are like walking on pillows...nice and soft. But for a long period of time my feet may be walking on clouds but my knees would be seriously screaming. So they may work for you. I will say, I have worn the Saucony's two days in a row. I am thinking that I may not need the inserts after all. So if the Sketchers don't work try some Saucony's!

So I lied. I ended up picking up a shift for job #2 last night so I did not get to update. I am dead tired tonight and I work again tomorrow, so it may be Monday before I update.

My computer has officially died! I am going to see if I can do an update from the ipad tonight. I will need to retake some pictures with my phone to see if I can load them. This is just not the time for it to do this. Matt (who is in IT, looked at it and said that it is probably not fixable). Great!

Have a good Monday everyone!

 

[Chicago Mo]

Oh NO on the computer!!!

pita's that they are.. and necessary!

My laptop is broke and I waiting for its return. I can relate. I hope it can be fixed. I also realized that I had written my last chapter for my own trip report on it and forgot to save it to Google Drive or a backup drive, so now I have to rewrite it.

20 days!!! holy cow it's right around the corner! you better get a move on!!!

19 days and counting!! WOW! it is almost here! I feel giddy for you! Great news about the dog sitter!

Well posting from the iPad right now. Never had a chance to do anything last night as I ended up in the ER. Was admitted and will be here through tonight. They are really not sure what is going on... Severe abdominal pain and fever...no appendix so not that and nothing showed up on ct scan. High white cell counts. On IV antibiotics and things are coming down so hopefully can go home tomorrow

Gosh Lynn!!! I hope you feel better soon! Sounds like Pancreatitis but I am pretty sure that shows up on a CT. I assume at the least they did the blood work to test for it? With a clear CT at least you know its not gall stones. Pixie Dust your way to feel better soon.

I cant believe I missed your pre-trip report before! HI Lynn and Matt! (It's Casey, from the May board). Lynn I hope you are okay! Keep us posted. I will catch up on this whole thread later tonight. I started my own PTR today too, starting with a bit for our May trip and then transitioning to our big trip this summer. Feel better soon, Lynn!

 

[Chicago Mo]

OH goodness!!! I hope your OK!!! Please keep us informed in how you are doing!!

Thanks everyone! I am home. Basically my white blood counts were three times higher than the high end of normal and my fever was at 102.7 on the tail end two extra strength Excedrine. I would have put money on kidney stones but apparently not. They did not see anything in any tests/cultures/scans to warrant the results. So since the numbers were trending down and pain went away, they sent me home. I have an apt with my regular doctor on Monday. I am very glad to be home! I was very worried about eating up PTO when I had this trip planned in two weeks!!!! You know I have my priorities right when I thought while waiting on the doc in the ER was what is the max days I can be here before I have to walk out of here so I can go to WDW!

Any how, welcome Casey! I will have to go check out your report. Matt is now back to working on a computer for me so hopefully I can get some real updating done before we leave!

 

[KathyM2]

So glad you are home and hopefully on the mend. Take care of yourself!
