13 yeeeeaaars later! Wow! I love ya, hun :D

Happy birthday hun :) :) love Lorri and your girls!

Now that I am all better and can't milk this whole "gee I had surgery and need to recuperate" thing, I have been sending out tons of resumes. I have an interview tomorrow, and a job test (for those computer skills I claimed to have LOL), so I need lots of luck! And lots of computer time while...

Andrew hasn't posted this yet, so I will :p We were at the school awards assembly this morning, and BOTH our daughters received awards! Oldest daughter (8.5, grade 3) received an Academic Excellence award (she got straight As this term!), the Citizenship Award and the Sportsmanship award...

Well today was my first official day of unemployment, since my last daycare boy finished up on Friday. And I have to say, although I know I will be bored out of my mind soon, it was nice! It was nice to sleep in until 7:30, have a relaxed morning with the girls before school, DRINK a HOT...

Okay, to make a long complicated story short....things have not been going well for me lately, culminating in an ambulance ride last Friday to emerg and now a relatively serious surgery at the end of March. (Andrew has been a HERO through all this too, I might add!) Sooooo, b/c of the long...

Andrew and I have just finished reading a book of the bestseller list called "Marley and Me. Life and love with the world's worst dog". It was a definite read for anyone who loves dogs (as i know you all do!). By the end of the book you really "know" Marley and can't help but learn some...

:( Now, keep in mind that before becoming a dog owner I was afraid of dogs.... I was out walking Jake yesterday, and was almost at the leash free zone in the park where I could let him run, when I hear this guy yelling at me. I looked up, and he told me "Get your dog over to the fence!"--I...

Oh my....picture this--big weather changes, so migraines for me and Andrew....he worked the late shift today so he's beat.... SO OF COURSE TODAY IS THE DAY OUR DAUGHTER BRINGS HOME SHEET MUSIC FOR HER RECORDER!! She's very new to this, and....ahem....still needs lots of practice--and poor...

Today while I was waiting to pick my dd up from school, I witnessed a parent backhand her child across the face :mad: This poor kid was terrorized by this woman--and there were a bunch of adults standing there! I stewed about it all afternoon, and I just couldn't get the image out of my...

Today Andrew was off work, and had his camera gear all packed up the night before, ready to take a nice relaxing day for himself. Well, my daycare kids arrived, and right away trouble started--the one boy who has been having a hell of a time adjusting spent the morning screaming, which set off...

Ever since we got him as a puppy, Jake has hated the vet. He needs to be muzzled for everyone's safety while he is there, and today (he was there all day) they didn't even take him out to pee b/c he behaves so aggressively/scared there. He seriously doesn't like people touching him...

What's your favourite thing about your SO/partner? I think for me, Andrew is my voice of reason--he always keeps me sane, and helps me see my way through chaos :) I also love the way he can still make me laugh, even though we've spent more than half our lives together. It's never boring...

Just testing new avatar/sig.

Ack! I was up for hours last night with my oldest daughter while she was sick, kept her home from school today only to hear "I'm boooorrrrrrreedddd" ALL FREAKING DAY :( She fought with my daycare girl that was here this afternoon, and is generally really grumpy today. HOW MANY HOURS TILL...

I run a home daycare, and my dog Jake is very nervous of adults, but happy with children. He loves the kids here, and gets really excited and playful when they are here. I started a new daycare boy today, and he is TERRIFIED of the dog. Not just nervous, but screaming/climbing me/punching...

My poor daycare mom showed up yesterday in tears, shaking and very upset. She was walking over here to pick up her daughter when a boxer (off his leash) jumped up on her, started grabbing her arm in his teeth and growling at her. The owner (who is deaf) was metres away tying his shoe and not...

Forgive my ignorance here, but I am just wondering (and not meaning to offend anyone!)--what makes someone a "backyard breeder" vs a good breeder? And is that different from a puppy mill? I'm new to dog ownership and all the issues this past week have made me realize that I don't really know...

I guess I should introduce myself....I am AndrewF's wife, and just joined this forum last night. I'm a first time dog owner, and before owning Jake I was afraid of dogs (but now I am a HUGE fan!). I look forward to learning lots from everyone here...you all seem so nice!
