Forty two years of wedded bliss

Ya right... it is really hard to believe we have been married 42 years... Feb 2... ground hog day...    We decided to go out for supper on Tuesday, and Merritt doesn't have anything exciting for a restaurant... so we went to Kamloops, I had to pick up my Christmas present, MY new sunglasses...and return a dog halter.. of course i didn't have the reciept for the halter so had to take a credit, which is fine, but i just didn't have time to look for something... i wanted a retracable leash for Levi, but theirs were way to expensive, they have the same type at Wally's world for half the price, so will save the credit for a toy for Yankee... Levi could pull out of the halter, and that is not what i wanted, so i bought another one, and he hasn't been able to pull out of it yet... he has such a square head and short nose... Then we went out for supper to "the Keg", a very nice restuarant... as we were celebrating our anniversary they gave us a nice dessert... but we were so full we couldn't eat it... Larry had scallops wrapped in bacon, and lobster and steak, and i had calamari and then Prime rib... (my favorite steak is rib steak, which is prime rib cut into steaks..) and as they didn't have rib steaks i went with the prime rib... it was really good.. could hardly eat it all... it was nice to spend some quiet time together and just chat about life..

Levi is doing really well with his agility, he is finally getting the idea that this is suppose to be fun... one of my agiltiy buddies was laughing at us last week, he wasnt going too fast, and i told him to hurry up, and she said he speeded right up..I have been practising "weave poles" and some jumps at home, and he is finally starting to bounce through the weave poles.. it is a front two footed bounce.. makes them go faster..I am really pleased with him... although as soon as we get to the class he won't do it... but as long as we keep practising he will learn that he has to do it all the time...I can hardly wait to take him to a trial...we are going to the earliest class on Saturday as we are playing cards early on Saturday..it should be interesting as these are dogs that he doesn't know... so he might get a bit snarky...so this is when the halter will work...

Weather has been nice, hardly freezing at night..it can stay this way till April for us...

One of the Shetlands hasn't been feeling to good this week... this is her taken this summer after she was sheared.. "Hay stack" is her name... i know a really weird name, but she was an orphan we bottle raised, and she always followed us around, and when we feed the sheep from the wheel barrow she was always under your feet, and kept getting hay all over her... so  "haystack" cause that is what she looked like... gave her some 'ketamalt' whick is like a good dose of cod liver oil, and she is feeling better.. don't ya love the horns... they make good handles..well better go do some laundry, wash the floor, vaccum the living room... too many damn animals in this place.... have a good one.
