Am I a lucky girl!!!

Wow!!!  I was selected by Sasha AND Frankie and Ernie for prizes for the Welcome!!!!!  How lucky can one girl be?  Again, Sarge and mom you really did a great job and I hope to see you at some other activities.  BTW Sarge -- hope the crabby girls are doing ok -- haven't heard anything about/from them recently!!!!!

Well, I went for my training.  Ms. Phyllis brought me a "Gentle Leader" cos I have a tendency to pull on the leash.  Really wasn't too bad.  Ms Phyllis reminded me that we will only do our training till the end of June, partly cos she is gonna be away and mostly because the ground will be too too hot!  Mum has to have service on her wheelchair and, fortunately the service man called that he can come here rather than mum having to go there!!!  She still has to go to the store -- maybe later in the day.  Mum takes care when she goes out in the heat -- she wears a shady hat and always has a cold drink with her, and usually stops at Starbarks to get an iced drink for the way home.  Store is only about a mile away -- but this time of day it is tooooo hot for me.  The booties that mum got for me are not gonna work -- they are made of latex (like latex gloves) but then my tootsies cant sweat; also it is hard for mum to get them on and off me -- her hands bother her a lot.  She has had several operations on her right hand and one on her left -- she says she is lucky that she can even type -- hence all the typos -- DOL.  She spent many, many years as a legal secretary/word processor so used to type ALL day (sometimes 18-20 hours a day).  A LOT of this was before personal computers, and word processors used to be like typing on a IBM Selectric typewriter!!!!  This, combined with the muscle disease she has has really caused problems with her hands (and every other muscle!!).

Oh well, she says that she is happy that I had such a good day yesterday.  Again, Higgins was the perfect date!!!  Hope I have more dates with him, lol.

Luvs to all

    You ARE a lucky girl Cookie - not least to have the caring and loving mum that you do. Tell Mum that YAMster also used to type on IBMs and when she started in the computing world, she worked on punch card machines!!!

    You both take lots of care, hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  4. Hi Cookie
    Hot sidewalks and sand is the worst! Check out Woodrow Wear for some awesome socks that will keep your feet cool. Miss Lorraine, the developers and owner of Woodrow Wear is really nice and will work with you to make sure the socks fit. They are awesome - I have some because I tend to drag my knuckles when I walk. Weird, huh? Anyways - check them out at www.woodrowwear.com. I swear by them.
    The Dance was so awesome! We sure know how to celebrate in Blogville, huh?
    Love Noodles
    PeeEss - is you are in the Southbay be sure to let me know the deets. Then we can arrange a play date. HINT- I will likely play more with your Mum than you!
