Quick (sorta long) Note

Just a quick note to say thank you all for voting. The poll will be up for a week to give everyone a chance to vote. I'm looking forward to working with Jackal on his new trick.

Also an update on my husband's back. The doctor thinks he should be good to go back to work at the end of November. He's able to do more around the house and he has an appointment on the twenty first to get his steroid injections so hopefully he'll feel even better after that. They want him to do physical therapy to get him back to work faster and safer. Hopefully we can prevent this from ever happening again. Oh and good news is he didn't have any bad discs in his upper back (we finally got the second MRI), so it's just the two herniated discs in the lower back that we're dealing with.

So I hope everyone is having a good week and doing well. I'll try to get pictures up tomorrow of the dogs playing on the lease land a few days ago. I got some cute ones! :)

Jackal Must Learn! - Please vote!

Jackal has become a total couch potato and I'm completely unmotivated. We are a sight! So here's an idea I had. Every month I'm going to put up a poll giving you a choice of four tricks. I want you guys to pick which one I should teach. Then I'll have three weeks to make as much progress as we can. I'll try to do weekly updates and try to make a video of the finished product. I'm starting out with some really easy ones because we haven't learned anything new in like a year! So please vote. You have a week. Also if you think of any tricks you can leave a comment with them and I'll add them to the list. Then they might make it to the poll next time. I'm hoping this will get me motivated to start training again. As I get back into it I might even do it with Storm too!!

Enjoyed my day off . . .

I very much enjoyed my long overdue day off. :) I slept in. My assistant manager called to ask if I would like to pick up a shift today and I told him honestly that I haven't had a day off in ten days and I'm completely exhausted. He's said that's completely fine and to enjoy my day off. :) Did I mention I really like my new asst. manager? So I went back to bed hehe.

When I finally dragged my lazy self out of bed my husband cooked pancakes, eggs and bacon (while I fed the critters). It was delicious!! I had all sorts of aspirations to get outdoors and do something productive, but I guess I was more tired than I thought lol. I basically cleaned house and spent the rest of the day kicked back enjoying my relaxing time. :) Hopefully tomorrow I'll actually get something done. :D
