Diane's Diary-ah

It was a beautiful day out today compared to yesterday and it was tough to be in the work mood this afternoon. I played fetch with Molly for a little while out back and enjoyed it for a bit. She really loves to chase a ball and bring it back to me. She always drops it then runs ahead to try to be close to it and catch it on the first bounce in the air! She'd probably be good at agility but I don't know the first thing about finding out how to do it, where to go, etc. Not to mention the fact that she is not very social with other dogs.  She really can be aggressive with the snipping and barking.  In fact yesterday when we were walking the dogs a dog we had never seen came barreling up to us and Stacey noticed.  I didn't know if it was going to be friendly or not so I picked up Molly mostly to protect her.  Turns out the dog did not attack but didn't walk away right away either. S/he wanted to say hi to my dogs and visit but Molly was barking and scratching me to death.  We got the other dog to actually 'stay' - should have thought of that sooner and then I put Molly down.  She really scratched up my neck, arm and stomach with all her flailing!   So she wouldn't be socialized enough to even do agility.  I know I could take an obedience class with her although she CAN SIT and stay for a while as she has done that many times, but it is just the money and the time element, neither of which I have much to spare right now.

Thankfully I have OT I can work this weekend.  The store was slow this week and although I'm going in tomorrow with hub and hope we sell something, it'd be nice if things picked up a little bit more. Still doing okay considering we just opened April 1st and have more advertising in the works. 

Well the folks are coming out here Wednesday to look into getting a home near us. That will be really nice for them to be close by in case they need me and my mom can finally get away from the cold winters!  I think they will like it here.

My brother's birthday was today and I did remember as I always do and sent him an E-card.  He is 53 today. Time does seem to get away from us...
