It's been a long time since I've blogged. I got out of the routine of making myself write every night. There were many days I thought I had nothing to say, but in retrospect, there was quite a bit.
Most recently (yesterday, actually) it was Caprice's 4th birthday. We took the dogs to the park we used to walk at, and then to Starbuck's and Three Dog Bakery. A large pit bull mix was having a family birthday party and shared a piece with Caprice. His? sister was HUGE! Between the two and a tiny Yorkie, they ate the whole cake, and it wasn't a small one. Between that, and Canon harrassing her, that was enough for Caprice as far as celebrating.
Canon graduated from beginning novice obedience class last night. He'd be so great if he had a handler who would practice with him. We're going to continue with intermediate classes, as well as start a puppy agility class in April.
Going back a few days, to March 10, I commemorated Rondo's passing with Tibetan prayer flags hung in the backyard. It surprised me how hard it was to work on them, when I had planned this for so long. There were lots of tears in my eyes as I worked.
What else is notable this month? I started working with a trainer, Brandi, and actually went to the gym, which I hadn't visited since August. It would be nice to be stronger, more fit, and yes, to lose weight. I think my posture has suffered with my lack of fitness. It's hard to believe it's been about eight years since I seriously worked out.
Julie's next to last chemo was the end of this week. There is something to look forward to there.
Presbyterian Hospice Daffodil Days this weekend. I think hospice programs are a wonderful and needed service. The help (even though it wasn't Pres) meant so much to me when we were caring for my mother.
