Leaving Tomorrow!

Packing cleaning, packing , cleaning!  Leaving in the morning for Calgary where I will board my plane for California!! soooooo excited now!

I called my mom, we are good,  that takes a huge load off of me, we all want to please our moms.   I love my mom so much and hate when we don't see eye to eye.

About to call my sister as well, she is pretty sick this time around with her chemo treatments.  Soon she will loose all her hair as well, she will be most likely bald for her Wedding in May, I told her she should get a long blond wig!!

So this is my last post until I return at the end of the week!  Hoping for good weather and an easy flight!

Beginners Agility

Last Wednesday Lync graduated from his Beginners Level 1 Agility class.  I love going to classes, the barn is gorgeous, for a barn!, it is warm and clean, I do have trouble keeping Lync's nose off the ground however, he loves all the smells in the dirt :)

Beginners Level 2 starts this coming Wednesday but I will be in California picking up Ash so I will miss the first night, I am not too worried, Lync seems to pick up things quickly.

Here is a picture of our graduating class from the other night as well as the certificate we got  :)

Getting Excitied

Thank you everyone for all your kind comments and compliments on the dogs and I!  I am getting more excited all the time, thinking in just 3 days I will see my new baby!!!

I am slowly getting things organized in the house, I think I'm done, I have a crate in the bedroom for him to sleep in, and a crate in the livingroom if I just need to put him away for a bit & I can't watch him.

The rest of the stuff, like bowls, leashes, collars I already have a ton of.  

I moved the china cabinet to make room for the crate

The crate, the bed will not stay in there, it is Perkins old bed and I thought Ash would like to curl up in it :)

The blanket I made for Ash's crate in the bedroom, i just love this pattern!!!

The puppies got a bath today, Diana sent me a picture of them drying, Ash is curled up at the back of the picture

Surprise ??

I'm getting a puppy.....yup, just like that.  He is in California and I am flying there on Monday and bringing him back on Thursday.
His name is ASH, Brad picked it, his registered name will be Entais Storm Winds, I picked it :)

5 weeks
My mom is angry with me for getting him, she thinks it is too soon, I have put up with smart ass comments on Facebook about how nice it must be to be able to fly all over and travel like I do to dog shows, I felt attacked and it sucked the joy out of getting this puppy , but just for a day. 
I ended up taking down every post I had put up of him on Facebook, and every picture.  I am done with the people that feel they have the right to comment on your business from the safety of their homes.  I was hurt, I am super sensitive, it matters to me what people think.

I love my dogs, fully, completely, whole hardheartedly, I would die for my dogs.  I need them in my life,  I went 2 years without a dog once, bad move on my part,  Talk about depression.  If I didn't have a dog in my life I would stay in bed all day, honest I would.

My dogs are fed before I eat, if I only had 5 dollars, I would spend it on my dogs first.  They want for nothing, I do everything to make sure they are happy.  So why then do people, including my family, feel I cant handle another dog?? In my opinion it is way harder and more costly to have an old sick dog then a young puppy.

I know it's my fault, too much personal information on Facebook being shared, but no more, I will still post, but just generic everyday meaningless stuff.  No more personal things.

I said at one time that the Collies were too hard to keep up now for me, Flatcoats were my breed for sure.  I didnt lie, they are! But, so are Collies.  I think alot of that was my depression and anxiety talking.
 
At this point in our lives Brad and I felt it was better to have a Collie then another Flatcoat,  Lync is big and strong and all muscle,  He is also pushy and strong and wants whatever Kort has.
Kort is pretty sore these days, so one pushy boy is good for now,   I will have another Flatcoat, Lyncs son I hope,  But for now the Collie is a better fit.

So stay tuned for pictures because you will only see them here for awhile, not sure I will ever post any to Facebook, we'll see :)

Not Much going On

Reverse side
Cover for Kort's crate pad
Cover for Kort's orthopedic pad
Not too much happening over here, still doing a ton of sewing, I find the minute my mind isn't occupied then my anxiety returns :(  I hate it!!!

One good thing to come out of all my sewing , I got an order for a crate pad cover!! How fun is that!  I told my friend that it wont be perfect, I am not a seamstress , not even close!, but it will be cute lol!

There are also going to be some changes around my house soon, more to come on that topic later.

That's about it, sewing and walking the dogs, my life :)
