It’s 4 AM
and here I am, needing to be alert for the drive to work in a couple of hours,
which is probably the exact time I COULD sleep. The house is quiet; my little
Miko and her parents are on holiday in Japan; my youngest son and his rugrats spend
most of their time with his new lady friend at her house now; that leaves my
three doggies, my son’s two kitties, and me. I do miss the family, but this comfortable
silence is also very welcome.
Both the
office at work and at home are sky high with papers, stuff all to be done
yesterday. I plow through so much of it during the day and most evenings, only
taking timeout to watch hockey, but never seem to get ahead. I don’t even dare peek
at what needs to be done for house cleaning except the bare minimum. When I
have a brain freeze I pop into Facebook or Blogit to relax it a bit, a mental
breathing through the nose.
My Mommy (the
first pit rescue) has been having problems. She’s suffering from separation anxiety,
badly. She ate through 3 of my walls, right down to the wiring and struts, even
with my DIL trying to calm her down. I have been bringing her to work with me
while waiting on the trainer to come back from vacation. We’re not sure what
set it off, but when we take in rescues there is always the possibility of former
trauma rearing its head. I tried a
crate, but she pulled a Houdini and escaped, hurting herself while doing so. She’s
fine as long as I am with her or she can hear me close by, but goes into frenzy
when I’m not around. The trainer I have chosen is young and cheerful and, from
what I’ve seen so far, quite competent. Hopefully we’ll bring Mommy back to the
confident, sweet girl she was up to a couple of months ago.
My health
problems are resolved for the most part, and for that I am very grateful. No
surgery required for the moment. The specialist was surprised when I hugged
him, LOL! I came out of his office with the biggest SMILE!
That SMILE
is still on my face, and I’m sharing it with y’all!
Luv from the
Bush in Quebec.
