Woah, HOW long has it been?

Long.

Wow.

So, what's been going on?

Got another new puppy last Christmastime. Sammi aka Harmony House Lady Samantha. Kind of in honor of Ken's mom, "Hold, it, Sam!" and also for the Elton John song. Which only a true fan would know.

We are showing both Rowdy, and Sammi. Rowdy is being shown by our breeder, Stan Zielinsky. I have known the Zelinsky's since I was about...ten or so. Back when my dad was showing Gypsy, and my parents were involved with the Saint Bernard Club. I have a vague memory of my mom being secretary????? Maybe not, LOL.

Sammi and Rowdy also both got obedience titles in Rally Novice. We are taking a little vacation from obedience while we are showing in conformation, but Mr. Bucket (Rowdy) and SamIAm need some long line work (don't think "come" means "run away faster") and work on long sit-stays and down-stays. Eventually I hope to title them both in Rally Excellent, and get the advanced CD's for them.

Haven't been writing much. No time.

Haven't been playing World of Warcraft much. Also, no time.

Still doing my tarot-deck-a-day project. New finish date is sometime in 2011, but I think this one will stick. I am not buying as many decks.

Both Ken's niece and nephew are getting married next year - it's going to be really fun. Especially if they can make peace with each other. Life is TOO SHORT to get upset about things that don't really matter in the long run. My thought is, in 20 years, what are you REALLY going to feel bad about?

Bought a motor home. I used to sneer at them when we were young and tent camping. But, it will come in really handy when we are going to far-away dog shows. No more worrying about if a hotel takes dogs, or leaving the dogs outside.

What else....who knows.
