Happy Monday everyone!  These Mondays come by way too often!  Poor Spencer ripped off a toenail on Saturday and it's still bleeding and he won't walk on it so I'm dropping him off at the vets office this morning plus he's having hind end problems again.  What makes it all worse is that the nail that was ripped off is the back leg and he's very weak in his back legs so he has a lot of difficulty even walking.  Anyway - life with Spencer.

Let's check in with your name, dogs names, ages, breeds and location and let us know what you did over the weekend!

Donna here with Emmy, Airedale Terrier/Hound mix and Spencer, Greyhound both 9 y/o and Buzz, Greyhound, 8 y/o in Arizona.  It's finally cooling off here and we're supposed to get down to the 70's by Wed.  Oooohhhh sweater weather - LOL!  Sunday Buzz and I were at Petsmart for our monthly Greyhound meet 'n greet.  It was nice enough to be outside instead of inside so we got a lot more traffic.  Buzz as usual was whining and yelping and making a noisy nuisance of himself.  We always try and mention how quiet Greyhounds are and then there's Buzz calling us liars!  LOL!

Happy Monday, Donna!

It's me, Sue, in central Alabama. My hounds are Harriers:
      Comet (11)
      Joy (8)
      Sugar (6)
      Cheerful (5)
      Coda (4)
      Halle (2)
      Henry (2)
      Snickers (2)
      Chet (1)

and we also have Joey (1) a smooth-coat standard dachshund.

I spent the weekend working on several projects. I installed new bathroom faucets (they are oil-rubbed bronze -black) and new light fixtures over the
vanities (also oil-rubbed bronze) and painted the walls before I put the
fixtures up.

I also spent some time researching towns around Raleigh, NC. We will be moving to that area next year. A lot of the places have dog limits, which means they dictate how many dogs I am allowed to own. I am trying to find a place that meets several criteria: reasonable proximity to the office, a school system that offers good programs for autistic kids, and allows me to have my hounds ... all in our price range. It is exciting but daunting.

I ran out of paint for my bathroom, so I have to go out and get some more today so I can finish it. I also am masking off the foyer and plan to try to get it painted as well. I want to get some of these home-improvement tasks finished before my surgery later this week. I will have several weeks, post surgery, that won't allow me to lift more than 10 lbs or so. Then I have the holidays to get through. Gotta get this stuff done so we can list the house.

I can't believe how busy you have been with your home improvements!  I'm absolutely useless with stuff like that including painting!  So you're moving from Alabama to North Carolina?  That's a big move isn't it?  Do you know anyone in NC?

I'm Barbara in Grand Rapids, Michigan with greyhounds Jester, 9 and Lynn, 10.  I had a funeral to go to on Saturday and then we went to the Griffins hockey game downtown.  They won.  They are the feeder team for the Detroit Red Wings.  Many of the players on the Wings played in GR, so we get to watch these future stars skate here first.  It's a lot of fun.

Aside from that, I'm finishing up reading Dean Koontz Frankenstein trilogy.  Didn't get much of anything else done on this cold and rainy weekend!

B.

It will be a big move.

I have family all over NC. A brother in Ashville, my dad in Chapel Hill and my mom in Greensboro. I hope that's a good thing, we'll see!
