Had a truly crappy summer, I hurt my knee the end of June, and hobbled around all summer..went to Dr and he did no good, so finally went to a massage therapist, and he did help, but still hurting as of today..am waiting for appt with a specialist..and of course because i am favoring my right leg,my left foot is screaming in pain.. Son Joe bought L and I tickets to the Yankee Mariner ball game end of July, so I hobbled all weekend... We stayed at Tulalip Casino, what a lovely place...didn't do any shopping at the Factory outlet stores near by..lucky I didn't have to walk too far at Safeco field..
Haven't done agility since June with the sore knee... Maureen was running Wynn for me, until one day she (Wynn) came up really lame... wasn't putting any weight on her right leg...both of us sure miss it... took her to a Holistic Vet on Thursday, and of course she wasn't limping much.. but Dr Mills did some chiropractic and acupuncture work on her... hope it works... she does seem better today..
we had a major tragedy end of October.. Levi died of a major blood disorder..what a shock...a dear friend of mine in Kelowna wrote a poem in memory of our boy..
Just a dog.... An Ode to Levi by Lisa Dennis
My devoted Levi, your spirit's passed
Now only memories, I'm left to clasp
An unloved mutt, who'd been kicked around
dumped like trash at a local pound.
You came to us, and taught us much
about patience, praise, and human touch
Who adopted whom? It's hard to say
But all our lives were changed that day
An agility star, you'd never be
too stubborn willed and fancy free
No dog sport wonder, "Just a dog"
our beloved pet and blanket hog
Yet for one who live so long alone
You completed us, made house a home
Now you've left our side and shall not be back
God's called this dog to complete His pack
Okay, now that i have cried my eyes out... and shared my heart ache... i will go and feed the chickens and get some laundry done....

Looks like a good time was had by all at Desert Mesa! Sorry about poor Levi. And your knee not getting better yet. Hope they find out what's wrong. Take care of yourself, hon'!
Bought damned time you started on that BLOG again!!! Sorry to hear about Levi - our animals are family just like any other!! And if that Vet fixes Wynn's limp, maybe you should get some of that treatment yourself!!! Doctor will probably give you the old "We are getting older" speech that mine tried one day. I offered to give him a good kick & let him feel the pain . . . Keep on moving - I will get back to the Retreat one of these days!!!
