Ky Woolfest

We had a great time visiting the Woolfest in Falmouth, KY yesterday. No pet dogs allowed, but lots of sheep and farm animals for view and petting. One lone border collie to manage and I think he probably did a demo at some point.
Lots of crafts and a beautiful day!

Alex gets BOW and 3 pt major in Lexington

WOW!
I am so happy! Alex got his 2nd major in Lexington Sunday - BOW!

It was over 90 degrees and our good friends Sue and Karrie showed him to his best advantage. 3 pt major under Judge Jon Cole.
Must have helped that my cousins were there to cheer him on and take this photo!
Way to go!!

"Largest snow storm of the year"

 
 

The snow is back, with a vengeance! Supposed to get 6-12 inches by noon tomorrow. There was NADA at 7:30 and by noon the neighbor was SKIING!
Alex made a quick run round the back yard, but he was too fast to catch him on camera today. Ok, I was too slow....

Graduation, back to shoes

 
 
 

Finally, graduated back to regular pants and shoes! Yahoo!!
It is a bit crowded in the shoe, with this brace, but so far, so good. A friend with a bad leg/knee injury said her PT told her to use ice three times a day to keep swelling down. I will have to try that!

Now, to learn to NOT walk like a Duck!!

Alex will like this. Part of my therapy will be to walk him, if it ever stops raining!

watching Alex & Kit play

One of the fun things about this enforced layoff is watching Alex and Kit play - they always do some at night, but now I know they get into play on some level at least 3-4 times a day. Alex cleans Kit's ears and Kit cleans Alex's face. They play tag - and you would not guess who is usually running in front! TAG! Kit is it!!! If I call Alex to me, Kit runs behind and waits for him to finish reporting so they can get back to it. Way funny!

I will miss them when I go back to work - normally a 9-10 hour (gone) day.

ankle progress - 2 mos

It has been two months since I broke my ankle and I am now in an aircast. I took these today after I bathed and cleaned my wounds. I have to redress them daily. Back to the Dr tomorrow to gauge my healing and progress.
Alex has been remarkably patient with me, so today he was rewarded with his first walk since New Year's Day. It was only a slow and short one around the block, but I know he was happy. And I am glad I went early - it all hurts now. Too tired!
I also finally got the Christmas stuff put away in the basement and gathered 3 large bags of trash for the garbage man tomorrow. May as well catch up on something. No driving, so basement sorting is as good as anything.
I will know I am really bored when I finish my taxes!! ;-)

I found this great blog of other folks who have broken their ankle. I will have lots more questions for the Dr tomorrow!
Take care...

41 and sunny today

It is 41 and sunny this afternoon. Alex is napping and I am soon to follow. Still lugging around the cast for my broken ankle ... more on this next week. Most of the snow is gone, especially in the sunnier hillside spots. We are supposed to be over 50 and rain tomorrow. That should cancel the rest of the snow so we can start FRESH with new snow on Monday.
Still have the 2000 Passat for sale - posted on autotrader.com.
Have a great day, all!

2000 Passat GLX wagon for sale

The surgery on my ankle is over, the cast is on (large and purple). Time to move forward ............ and that means selling our old Passat so we can drive the new one, when I can drive again.

Somerset Herding Conformation results

Alex took a point and WD at Somerset - handled and groomed by Sue Young. Sue is a great friend and took Alex during my surgury and immediate recovery. I understand they all had a great time!
 

broke my ankle, January 2

What a way to start the New Year! We had a beautiful, powdery snow and I worked from home to save the highways and be safe. There is some irony there!
I let Alex out about 3:30 and he started fence barking with the dog visiting next door. Could have just let them wear themselves out, but no. I went up the hill to corrall him and after dropping on my butt a couple times, I heard the fateful CRACK!

I boot-scooted down the hill, across the stone patio area, down the steps, across the deck to the back porch. This is the area that Alex has previously been known to FLY across in 3 landings or less! Did I mention it is 10 degrees and I have no jacket on?

I acheived the kitchen floor and the neighbors came through the front door. In short order, we called the Cinti firemen who put my leg/ankle in a splint and carried me down to the car.
Fast foward to 1/8 - surgery. So painful I slept through all of it and most of the day. Stayed overnight in the hospital and then came home to the street. My cast was caving in the back, which gave us cause for another visit and a chance to take this gorgeous photo of what used to be a "fairly turned ankle."

I am home recuperating now. Alex is spending some quality time with club member and friend, Sue Young. What a blessing friends are! They have taken care of both Alex and I over the past two weeks and I know we will need them constantly in the next two months. A big furry kiss and hug to each of them!

Now, about airline travel - think I need a note from my doctor about extra metal in my ankle! Oh well....................
I hope you have a safe and wonderful new year!

Merry Christmas!

 

Merry Christmas from Alex, Pat and Cincinnati!

Alex enjoys our first real daytime snow

 
 
 

The snow started about 9:45 am. You can see the big wet flakes landing on Alex and me! The camera needed a rain coat!
Then, a few hours later, we had LOTS! 2'-3". Still WET! Now it is 1:30 and mostly rain, but some is freezing. We visited a neighbor earlier, but my plan now? Stay warm and dry!

Tennessee Valley Kennel Club

 

Alex and I attended the Tennessee Valley Kennel Club, Knoxville Show this past weekend. He took Reserve Winners Dog under Judge John Studebaker. We had a great time and met lots of Belgian folks!

Splash got her RN this weekend, too! Yeah!! Splash!!

Happy Halloween!

 
 

Finally, the weather cooled off! We went to Libbye's to take photos of Tervs and sheep. Alex got to play with STAR, his latest conquest. Hope this finds you all Safe this Halloween!
Booooooooooo!
