day 226

Sorry for the late post. I was tired last night after Ana's first shy/fearful of humans class. Her class went good. Meaning I got her harnessed, in the car and at the class and then home.

She just sat most of the class under my chair. She wasn't the only one sitting under the chairs of their owners. There was a huge German Shepherd trying to squeeze his way under the small chairs. The other one was a really small wiener dog.

The aggressive dogs were a huge huge great Dane dog (or horse) that wanted to attack the Chihuahua. Then there was a black lab that kept lunging at people.

This should be a very interesting class.

Also yesterday I found this new product called anti-stress calming spray for pets. I sprayed it on Ana's bed last night and she was out like a light and also on her bed downstairs now and she is just laying there like a perfect dog. This product really works...

I know I have mentioned this movie before but I can't stop watching it. The movie is P.S. I love You.

Since mid october when I finally got cable & HBO I have now watched it 5 times that includes 2 time this weekend. There are parts in it that make me laugh and others that I totally see my life in. At least now I can watch the whole movie with out being a total mess.

The strange thing is that each time I watch it I find or hear things I didn't before - that could be cause I'm not totally crying through the whole thing again. It is kind of like theropy I think.

Anyway my point is that if your ever in the mood to laugh and cry rent it and think of me.

Just know that we never had a fight before he died, I was never left alone to lay in bed but I did get to finally dance and sing around in my underwear not his and I'm 40 not 30.

day 223

So I'm not sure if I'm going to do the kitchen this year. I think I'm going to landscape my yard, I met with the designer yesterday and this is what she came up with.

day 222

I'm starting to sell Joe's biking stuff now. I got rid of the rims and brought the trainer to a bike shop to sell. Now I'm just working on the bikes. I guy is coming over tomorrow to see if he is interested in them.

Then I'm going to make this room my exercise room, and get the stuff out of my living room.

Next the motorcycles any one want to be a Harley Davidson 2001 sportster xl all upgraded and hardly any miles.

really!

You will never believe what Joe's parents did now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I need a blog where nobody knows me and I can just vent away - cause if you can believe this there are people out there that don't believe I thing I'm saying and say there is a reason for all the stuff they are doing.

REALLY?? and you say your a friend of Joe's. I watched ghost again this last weekend maybe they will be haunted like the bad friend was in the movie and be a believer.

enough said for today and I feel better thanks for reading.

train accident

I'm not sure if you heard about the crash in Brussels today but it was bad. One of my friends that I took french with lived in Halle and took this train to class. I hope that she wasn't on that train.

Sorry this is in french but this is the best video I found for you guys. There is one of all the people in Paris and Brussels stuck because the high speed trains are delayed till further notice.

day 216

Happy Valentines weekend or presidents weekend however you want to look at it. No much planned this weekend. I have never been a fan of Valentines day. The way I look at it is if you need one day a year to remind you to do do something nice or buy me something don't bother. I think you should be able to take me out to dinner, be nice and surprise me 365 days of the year not just one day of the year.

Joe never believe that I felt this way so would always give me good presents, not that I minded. My first Valentines day when we were dating he gave me a trip to New York City with him. I figured after a weekend alone with him we didn't irritate each other so we might be on to something here. :) Last year you might remember he got me my Leica camera.

I'm planning on watching this movie this weekend, I can't think of a better movie to watch this weekend Then sometime next week going to Valentines day movie in the theater which takes place in LA another good movie to see the week.

notice the top of the heart is the skyline of NYC.

about the movie:
A companion piece to Paris, je t'aime, this valentine to New York cleverly blends nearly a dozen love stories, each presented by a different filmmaker. From Central Park to Brooklyn and Queens, each tale features the Big Apple as a central character. The writer-directors include Natalie Portman and Brett Ratner, and the cast features Shia LaBeouf, James Caan, Julie Christie, Christina Ricci, Ethan Hawke and dozens more.

I did see Paris, je t'aime and liked it.

day 215

Saturday and Sunday I took the girls for a car ride. It went much better than the first time I took Ana. I really can't believe how much they like there dog seats. When I got Foxy's in LA I thought ohhh this is going to be a problem but she loves it.

Please don't take my photo

If you look at Ana's mouth she is sticking her tongue out at someone. I guess I need to start teaching manners.

I didn't notice this till I got home and looked at the photo on the computer. I guess she is starting to think she is better than other people and dogs now. Imagine what she would do if she could fit in Foxy's Gucci coat.

I don't know why she hates cameras it is really funny I start talking her picture and she turns away.

Foxy

I just dropped Foxy off at the U of M hospital. She has to get all but 3 teeth pulled. I told her if she see's "daddy" to run the other way not to him.

Joe never wanted her to go under to have her teeth cleaned - either did I but now her teeth are soo bad they need to be pulled. I guess she had her baby teeth and the adult teeth came in too so she had to many teeth for a small mouth and no other vet ever said anything about that.
