The Saga Continues

The Saga of the Good, Bad & the Ugly continues .....

Check out these little darlings within 2 hours of being born .... the "Extraordinary Eight".  To date there is 1 Black Tri Male, 1 Red Tri Male & 2 Red Tri Females available for Forever Home, all the other four have already been spoken for not even 24 hours in this World.  A healthy beautiful litter of Australian Shepherd puppies from our Bandit & Lexus.  They have once again done themselves proud.

Out & about today I was happy to learn we are not the only ones with a driveway in such a state.  This has to be the worse time of Year once the thaw had made its appearance and the mud took  over.  With the dogs it even seems worse some days more then others.

I had to make a visit that has been on my mind for the past few days.  With bad weather, a 3 week shut-down of facilities, and me being too busy more then naught, I just made up my mind to leave everything & go visit my Mother at the Nursing Home today.  I was happy to see the plant I had dropped off to her 2 weeks ago was still blooming & full of colour.  Mom has her Bears all in order and displayed so nicely.

I even stayed and had a wonderful Lunch with Mom.  When I go back to visit next it was decided by the two of us that it will be for an afternoon they have Bingo so I can join in.  It was great my Mom has invited me to Bingo !!!  we also had some good laughs between us which I enjoyed immensely, as I think she did as well.

Since I had also been in the neighbourhood I had decided to drop in to visit one of our Everything 8 2013 Puppies.  You would not believe "Rusty" went absolutely nuts when he seen me coming up the driveway & the kisses I was bestowed when I went through the door were something else !!!  Rusty's owners can not believe the reception he give me, as he never has given another.  I must have left a great impression with this guy before he left for his Forever Home I would think?  He is such a handsome smart boy, who does our love for our Australian Shepherds proud as well.

This afternoon I had to head over to Sauble Beach for a Chiropractor appt. for 3:30 pm.  Afterwards it was over to the Saugen Gas Bar in Southampton to get the van filled up.  I can not begin to explain the phone calls and messages I had dealt with about puppies throughout the day.  Between puppies and a couple Wiarton Chamber calls I was kept hopping.

My neighbour, Pari, had also gone along to keep me company this afternoon.  When we returned to Wiarton we had decided to call Rob to meet up with us downtown at Red Fish Blue Fish for Dinner.

This was the 2nd time we dined at this little nook, and were far from disappointed with the quality or quantity of the food we received. 

Back home after Dinner I had two more puppy phone calls to make.  I just finished up with the phone calls at 9 pm..  I can not see much break for me in the next upcoming days, and my head is spinning now.  I am happy to report I did manage to make my bed and do a few dishes up at some point today... *sigh*.  At least I got to sleep until 3:30 am this morning instead of 2 am instead the two previous days.

My nice clean washed hallway from two days ago?  PAW prints up and down it first thing this morning when Lexus decided she would have a gander throughout the upstairs of the house after having been out in the muck.

The BAD? all that mucky mud.  The GOOD? everything in between.  The UGLY? me if I don't get some sleep and housework done at some point, Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard.

Last evening ended with Rob bringing me home a Spring Bouquet of flowers for my Birthday today, as he wanted me to have them to wake up to this morning.  I also got a lovely Birthday Card from my oldest Sister in the mail today.  Thanks Jeanne ... xoxoxo

My brother, Alan, called me later today to wish me Happy Birthday, as well over 150 Facebook Friends !  and our Elizabeth send me a very "special" Card from all of them via email this morning that I hope shares okay on here.  You will probably have to copy & paste the following link into your browser, or highlight, right click and "go to",  but it is so worth seeing our Paul in piglets and the boys having had built their Volcanoes !

Rob had left this morning shortly after 6:00 am, and we never got to see each other again until after 4:00 pm.  Mind you we did lots of talking on the phone in-between the times of not seeing each other.  That is what best friends do, do they not?

Rob suggested we go out for my Birthday for Dinner.  Mind you I am pretty certain by now that the 4 lbs I lost in February I have gained back plus some (I promise I will get back on the Band Wagon tomorrow girls).  There is not too much open on a Tuesday evening in the way of Dining out, however we thought we would try the Blue Fish Red Fish downtown Wiarton, as we had only been there a long long time ago once.  It was open until 7 pm, so we headed down around 6 pm.

We ordered some heavy Birthday cocktails which we enjoyed while we took in the Menu up on the Chalkboard.  We both decided on the "special" which was 1 pc of Basa Fish with Chips for $8.45 per person.

Rob never fails to amuse me, and did not disappoint me for my Birthday.

The Basa was a very good choice, enjoyed by both Rob and I.

I hate to admit after having a full plate of food that I did to coming home to still eat a very large piece of Snickers Cake that Rob had also brought home to me last night ... shame for shame on me ! but it was only for today !!!

Before we went out for dinner I got to drool over the virtual dessert my Blogger friend, Lynn had made me over at her blog that you can also drool over too by going "HERE".  OMG, I am stuffed full and still drooling looking at that Lemon Tart ! thanks Lynn xxx

For those who were curious on what was in this package from my friend, Pari?  it was a foot spa, as she thinks I go way too much and deserve to relax and soak my feet doing it every evening.  I also got an M&M GC too !  I am blessed with such great family & good friends, I truly am.

I am tired to the bone, must be the extra year I am  (never mind the extra pounds I put on the past couple of days ...boohooo poor me)

.... to each and everyone who was kind enough to make my Birthday so special with all your kindness & Birthday Wishes. xxx

On that note, this double nickel gal is heading towards her bed for some R & R, "Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard.
