    Good morning. Doggone it's cold out. I'm back to wearing jeans now.

    Heading to Olive Garden tonight with my childhood bf.

    We get the granddog tonight for 8 nights. The kids are going to London, France and Ireland. I'm watching a pup and paying for her daycare. I might ask for a reimbursement for that. ha

    Stay warm. Have fun on all your adventures today.

    Mornin' BBB

    Yep, its cold in Terre Haute where the National Amateur Championship Springer Spaniel Field Trial is starting today. 104 entries. Could have been 105 if Lucy hadn't been so late coming into heat and having puppies.

    Carrie needs to do confidence work with Tucker to show that she doesn't need him to be protective in normal situations, and that often works best under the scrutiny of a dog trainer. Its a Carrie problem, not a Tucker problem. He is reacting to her lack of confidence.

    Yep, all the pups go running to anyone who will pick them up and pet them. A couple need a bit more encouragement than the rest, but Dana and her son have done a phenomenal job with socializing the wee fellas. There really is no wall flower in the bunch. I honestly believe every one of the pups would probably make a decent trial competitor based on their breeding, plus I know they all have good vision and good conformation and mobility, but obviously I want the creme de la creme.

    Your knowledge and skills selling and shipping that equipment really amaze me, Mary. Good luck on a big sale.

    Going into clinic today to see a me only client with 3 dogs in spite of me not really supposed to be there. New partner doc also requested my assist on a dental surgery. The farewell tour for Doc Lee continues…

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Planned to go for a hike today, but a very poor night's sleep has me staying home and looking forward to a nice nap.

    G'Morning,

    Late start.

    Got the Jeep back with the all the cool gadgets installed.

    Thx, Lee. We have a trainer, I'll give them a call.

    2nd that shoutout on internatational sales……you're an ace with those logistics, Mary!

    IFYKYK….boss is treating us (four couples) to the Inn at Little Washington tonight for a Chef's Table experience. This will be my first experience at a Michelin-rated venue. I hope I don't spill something exotic in my lap.

    Cheers,

    Good morning BBB Friends.

    • I'm trying to figure out training for Hannah. Just the basics for a well behaved pet. I think she's turned into a 'teenager' with an attitude.
    • The farewell tour for the prodigal Doc Lee. Bittersweet, isn't it?
    • I've been to a Michelin rated restaurant before. They wouldn't let me in, but I've been there.
    • Busy week, but it's mostly good stuff so I march on.
    • Prayers for your DBIL and DS Kelly.
    • Keep on selling Mary.
    • Lou is on a big boat ride.

    Good Morning !

    Im sure the right pup will speak to you Lee. Does M get a vote?

    Dogs are like kids, they can be a handful, challenging, expensive, but so cherished!

    Worked half day, picked up lil T, and he and I are waiting for school bus to drop off my K4 great nephew. This should be a fun play date at his house! PBJ, carrots, apples and pretzels for lunch, yummm lol.

    Hope surgery in IN helps your bil Kelly. Going to be a long road for him and ds & fam, I bet. Do they have kids? How is your Mom doing these days?

    Skip do you like working at home or in office better?

    Rest up Dave!

    How's Lou and Steph doing in their travels?

    Hope Sam and dw recovered from their housefull ! How's dmil Sam?

    Be Well BBB

    M is allowed some input, but I make the final decision.

    Knee replacement. Been there done that.
