Prairie Dog Blog

Hello to all out there in blogland. Nice to see so many new posts. Lyn, thanks for the newsy one. Congrats on finishing that course. Good to hear about Adam's successes in Hockeyland. Congratulations to you, Adam. And Noni has a new beau. Way to go, girl.

Gary has also blogged. He feels in need of some time on a driving range. Get out there and hit that ball.

I took Suzie to the vet's this morning. She had a heartworm test and got her immunizations up to date. She gets stressed out any time we go to the vet, or even when she needs her claws clipped. She doesn't really bark, she howls. They muzzled her and she was calmer. She's sleeping on the couch once again. Too much stress for the poor little baby. She'll sleep for the rest of the day. Except when I get food out. She's always there for that. As soon as she hears plastic rustling she's at my heels, whining. You can tell by looking at her that I'm starving her. Sorry about the picture being sideways. That's how it was saved on my computer and I don't know how to turn it. Any suggestions, Gary? (It has been corrected - Gary)

I have made my travel plans for June. I fly to Vancouver on June 13 and fly back on June 20. I will be attending the Humanist Association of Canada conference and spend some time with Margot. I have a reservation at the Sylvia Hotel. I have been told it is just around the corner from Margot's place.

I went with my friend Jess to see a play at MTC, The Clean House. Well, we both found it pretty sad. One of the characters died of cancer. We both shed a few tears. She's the friend whose husband died the same day as Dennis. We went to Inferno's Bistro for dinner. It was good to talk to someone who is going through the same process. Her husband had a good sense of humor, too. They probably would have liked each other. She has two children and was off visiting her son in BC while I was in Oklahoma. Both of her children live in BC. Would it be funny if we both ended up there?

Only 50 more days till Margot arrives. Well, it's goodbye from me and it's goodbye from Suzie.

Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.
