  • End of September already?

    Last week, someone said that they would see me at Christmas.  I was thinking it was still a ways away.  Not!  How could it be the end of September already?  I just went on vacation (back in May) and we just had the pig roast (back in June).  I know, I know.  Only an old […]

  • Happy 50th Birthday, Rich!

    Yesterday, the 10th, was Rich’s 50th birthday.  It was a quiet day.  No big partying here.  He did take the day off from work to enjoy some of his favorite things.  Early in the morning, his Busia called to wish him a happy birthday.  He wasn’t up yet.  We talked for a bit.  She was […]

  • Running with the big dogs

    Back on Feb 4, we went to the Chili Lunch and Sled Demo fundraiser for the Free Spirit Husky Rescue.  This is the group where we found Sascha.  She was Holly back then.  I like to support them when I can and it gives us a chance to let Sascha see her old friends.  I was […]

  • Sascha’s First Christmas with Us

    So Christmas was really nice.  Santa dropped by the house earlier and left some nice gifts.  I don’t think any of us did too badly this year.  Even Sascha had a good day. Rick got several Portal 2 items, which should make his year.  Rich got his usual beer t-shirts, a diamond plate mailbox, and […]

  • Who Almost Took Out Whom?

    On Thursday, Rich decided to let Sascha go for a run.  This is her favorite thing to do, after all, besides lay in someone’s lap.  To get her ready, Rich put on the flexible booties that are supposed to protect her feet.  One problem:  the booties won’t stay on.  We’ve tried a couple of different […]

  • Video Cam of Sascha

    Today was a beautiful day outside!  Sascha thought the weather was perfect since she spent most of the day out there.  She was watching for anything that might come into the yard.  Even though I tried to get her to come in several times, she remained on guard out by the trees.  I did catch […]

  • Yes! It’s off! And Sascha went scootering.

    Today finally came!  I had a doctor’s appointment to remove my cast at 9:20 this I got there early and was ready to go.  At 9:50, they finally called me back.  I was going crazy.  The doctor turned out to be very busy and his regular assistant was off today.  OMG, I wanted to scream.  […]

  • Rick and Sascha take a spin

    Yesterday morning, Sascha was all stretched out in the living room floor.  Rick just had to join her.  It was just a dog and her boy.  Ahh! So a little scootering today.  Finally.  I convinced Rick that he had to give it a try.  I think he was a little leery after I broke my […]

  • Definitely not a walk around the block

    So the dually scooter arrived at the house on Friday.  I call it that because it has dual wheels on the back for better stability, which I need.  It’s just like the pickup trucks withe dual set of wheels on the back.  Maybe it’s a redneck thing. Anyway, Rich put the scooter together on Saturday.  […]

  • Consequences

    So we went to the Urban Mushing class on Sunday.  The location and the people were very nice.  Julie and her team were very knowledgeable.  The attendees were varied in the breeds and theirs reasons for learning scootering.  Six people or teams were signed up for the class, so I felt lucky to be able […]
