Was raining and cold today. Lots of flood warnings. So I went down to get a latte from Jen-Bunny and pick up a gallon of milk. Took Bud & Bit with me. Bit did not see any of his dog friends in town because it was raining out.
I exercised 26 miles on my elliptical today!
Hubby worked in shop tonight.

Puyallup & Costco Run
Saturday Mar 10 & Sunday Mar 11, I spent at home by myself with the dogs. Hubby went to Puyallup, WA early Saturday morning at 4AM to the Annual 4x4 Auto Swap Meet. Dogs let me sleep until 7:00. Yippee.
I exercised 21 miles on Saturday & 20 miles on Sunday. Went to get a latte from Heather on Saturday morning.
Hubby did not make it home until early Monday Mar 12 morning at 5:30 as he & Kevin R had to take a detour due to Snoqualmie Pass being closed. He did not even have time to go to bed for any amount of time. I was exhausted as he had texted me almost every hour with the name of the town that they had just passed so I would not worry. On Monday I was horribly exhausted. Could not think...could not go back to bed.
When hubby came home Monday night, we both went to bed early. Tired. Tired. Tired.
Hubby got his bonus TPA on Tuesday. Paid some hospital bills. Whoopie.
Had to reschedule my nail appointment that I had on Tuesday Mar 13 due to diarrhea. Stomach problems from not sleeping enough. Met hubby in town at Costco around 4:00 to do our shopping. Then stopped at Petco to pick up a couple snails for the goldfish tank.
After getting cheeseburgers at Wendy's, Bud & Bit & I came home. Hubby was right behind us in his truck. He unloaded stuff & went down to the shop to meet "Chad is Bad" for a while.

Shopping at Big R
On Sunday after getting lattes from Heather at the espresso stand, we took the dogs for their walk in the park. They loved it. The weather was fairly nice; almost 50 degrees warm with sunshine. There was a little breeze as we briskly walked in the wild area. The dogs love it there.
Then we dropped off some of the dogs. Hubby took this time to trim his hair & beard. I had to clean his ears out. About 12:30 we took Bud & Bit with us to Sandpoint for shopping. Hubby wanted to go to Big R where we spent over an hour just browsing. Got new dog food. Bud loved getting huggies and attention from all the people there at the store.
Went to Super 1 to pick up apples and hamburger, then came home & unpacked everything. Hubby got busy making 4 different kinds of meatloaf.

Spokane or Bust!
So Bud, Bit and I ventured out into the blizzard Wednesday morning Leap Day to get a latte from town. I was severely cold after shoveling 7 inches of snow off the decks!
Not too many vehicles on the road at 7:00 in the morning, missed seeing hubby as he had left too early.
We got back and I exercised.
Did laundry.
Then hubby texted & told me that we had to go get a vehicle in Spokane. Needed to be ready at 5:00, dogs were going to go with us in the Dually. Hauled trailer behind us. But hubby had a slow time coming home. Finally left at 6:30. Got lattes on the way, as hubby had not eaten & he was cold. Then met people at Safeway in N Spokane at 7:15 (hubby had forgotten his phone and did not have the guy's phone number!).
Chatted with the people for quite a while. The nice lady had two cute little Dachshunds.
Then we left & hubby stopped to have a burrito at Go Go Burrito. Better than Taco Del Mar's burritos. Very fresh food even at 9:00 at night!
Drove home in another developing blizzard once we hit Idaho. 3 more inches of snow had fallen while we were gone. Hubby plowed drive while I shoveled decks. Hit the bed at 11:30.

Super Fast
Lots of exercising on the elliptical.
One mile in under 7minutes 18seconds! At full resistance on the elliptical setting.
Snowed over 8 inches starting early this morning. Shoveled decks and it took me over an hour to get them cleaned off. Wind is starting up now.
Hubby took my chocolate chip cookies into work with him yesterday. Said everybody loved them.
Black Kitty went back to the shop last night. He was in much better spirits. The house does not smell like cat & cat litter now.

Snow Snow & Sleet
It snowed and snowed and snowed this week/weekend. We got over 12 inches of snow.
Took the dogs for a walk in the park on Sunday. They had lots of fun. Wild dog walk as there was nobody else that ventured out into the weather!
I made chocolate chip cookies on Monday for hubby's work friends. He said Dave R came and kept him company in the shop on Monday night.

FOUND - Schipperke
Snowed quite a bit on Sunday night/Monday morning. Had about another 3 inches of snow on ground.
On his way home from work Monday night, Hubby found a Schipperke on the road wandering around. He thought it was our own Lil Bit at first, but then got closer to him & discovered that the dog had bug eyes. Hubby brought it home and we fed him. He was a nasty mean little dog that bit! Hubby has one finger that is bleeding & infected. I immediately put a FOUND dog advertisement on Craigslist, but nobody called.
I took the dog into our Vet early on Tuesday morning to scan for a microchip. Alas, no microchip. But the vet did go through his list of clients & found a woman that was missing her dog. If it indeed belonged to her, the dog had traveled about 8 miles from its home! I left the dog at the vet with our smallest kennel.
Went to get my nails done at 12:00 today. Took Bud & Lil Bit with me. Afterwards got burgers at McDonalds. Then stopped at grocery store for a kitty pooper scooper.
Barely got home in time to run Black Kat into the Vet for his shots & Feline Leukemia test. Also ran into an associate that I used to work with at the Verizon NOMC; Leslie D. She had taken her dog into vet to test it for Aspergers.
Got home in time to make dinner for hubby.

Black Kitty at House
Kids came to pick up Beebo. Heather dropped off KRN. Matt arrived shortly afterwards.
We had gotten 6 inches of snow overnight, so hubby and I had to clean that off the decks before we were able to go get him a latte in A-town.
Hubby plowed driveway. Brought Black kitty up from shop and put him in basement bathroom. We think he is sickly as he is skin & bones; also has a little infection in his eye. Neither he nor Grey kitty were friendly enough to get close to so that we could get them into the vet. They have finally come out of their shells enough that we could capture them & get them in the car. Cleaned Black kitty up with a wet towel and cut away the matted hair. Then I brushed him for over an hour. I will get him an appointment at the Vet's this week. Then we will have to do the same with Grey kitty. They both need shots.

Beebo Babysitting
Babysitting Beebo today. Matt brought him over about 4:30. Poor little guy has lots of antibiotics & cough medicine. Eyedrops, too.
Winter storm moved into the area. Went down to get hubby from shop at 7:00. Already 2 inches on ground by then.
Angus decided she was going to eat her food too fast (again) and threw up in several areas. I removed food from the dog bowls. They only get water tonight!

Great Dog
I love that song from the Westminster Kennel Show commercial Purina. GREAT. All my dogs are GREAT dogs.
Had to run Lil Bit into the vet on Thursday. He has been honking. All day Wednesday and into that night. By Thursday morning he was not better. Dr Mike said it was NOT kennel cough. KRN took Beebo into the vet also and her vet indicated that the poor dog was exposed to an Upper Respiratory infection. Probably from Archer, KRN's temporary dog. Dr Mike prescribed antibiotics and cough meds.
Bit improved a little, but by night he was honking again. Poor little guy. Talked to the vet and he said give him double the prescription.
Harriet started bleeding on her toe late in the afternoon so I had to bandage it up. She did not like that!
I am doing one mile in less than 8 minutes on the elliptical at full strength resistance. It seems like it should get easier if I am building muscle, but it is just as difficult as it was at the beginning when I first started exercising. Still on eating Rehab. No SUGAR. No PROCESSED FOOD. No CAFFEINE. My body feels better. Along with the melatonin, I am sleeping much better.

WEEKEND & VALENTINE'S
Hubby whined about going in to CDA on Saturday night for shopping. So we stayed home & went to bed early.
Sunday morning February 12 we got up extra early. Got everything packed & went to Albertson's grocery to pick up balloon, cheesecake, chocolates & gifts for KRN. Drove to Spokane to Edible Arrangements and picked up gift at 9:30. Walked Bud & Bit underneath the overpass where the bums congregate.
Got to KRN's at 10:00. Beebo was happy to see us. KRN opened her presents. Kids wanted to go out to eat for lunch at Outback. We left dogs at their house & drove in their Jeep to Northtown Outback. Was real good food, I got lobster & filet.
Drove past the espresso stand that KRN is thinking about buying. Needs lot of updates to it.
Then back to their place to talk for a while. Hubby and I left at 3:30 to return home. Hubby showed me the house in Post Falls by the water, we walked the dogs again, got burgers at Wendy's on the way home.
Dogs at home were overyjoyed to see us. House was cold. About 56 degrees. We had left door open so they could go out to potty.
On Monday February 13 morning I had to run to Spirit Lake to pick up baking supplies for cupcakes. Made cupcakes & frosting all day long.
Squirrelly made a visit to the dogs, he ate the apple pieces I put out for him.
Hubby had me go with him and we took all the dogs to pick up a truck on the trailer from Post Falls. The dogs were happy to ride in the Dually. Lots of room for them. We got back about 7:00 after getting more burgers for dogs at McDonalds in Rathdrum.
I frosted more cupcakes when we got home, then hubby went to shop to work. He was down there until 11:00. I was really tired by the time he got home.
TUESDAY VALENTINE'S DAY
Hubby brought home flowers. Made me dinner. Yum. Gourmet tomato soup. Garlic shrimp, Scallops, Tomato Cheese bread & pasta.

Cleaning Day & Shopping for Valentine's
Harriet got up this morning and we noticed that her back left leg was gimpy. She was limping around. Don't know what she did now...
Went to get latte for hubby & stopped at Bakery to see Gwen & Louise. Gave Gwen her belated birthday card and gave Louise a small Valentine's heart with candy.
Getting ready for Valentine's Day. Cleaned the house today including vacuuming, dusting & mopping floors. Dogs were not happy. They ran outside to get away from vacuum cleaner.
Washed Lil Bit because he had poop on his fur. Bad dog.
Need to go into CDA tonight to pick up Valentine's day gifts.
