So, today I managed to get out of the getting up early thing, which made me very happy! Of course today we had to go and try out the new toy Randy got at the Gun Show yesterday. We took a couple other guns too. I shot the AK47 for the 1st time, which was pretty fun. I thought it would have a lot more kick than it did, but my favorite is still the Ruger 22 Pistol. It's small and light and A LOT quieter! It was really cold out today or I would have wanted to stay out there longer but it started snowing and I was done! That was pretty much the excitement of the day...came home and watched TV. I'm hoping to get to Idaho at the end of the week. Hopefully the dogs cooperate with me this week and both stay well! Not much else today...hope everyone remembered to set their clocks forward last night!

Nothing real exciting happened today. Ellie is back to herself in full force! She thinks she is starving all the time, which she probably is...she lost a lot of weight. She is supposed to be on a special diet...small amounts of special food 3 or 4 times a day. So far we have stuck to it but had to add a little more or else she's trying to get into the trash because she's so hungry. We didn't do much today, Randy got up early to go cougar hunting but came home around 9:30 and hadn't got anything. He said he saw all kinds of other animals and wants to take me out there tomorrow EARLY in the morning. I'm not a morning person so I don't know how well that is going to go over...we'll see. I would love to take some pictures but not at the expense of my nice warm bed! We went to the Gun Show today and somehow I came home with a $10 jar of jam and he came home with a gun and LOTS of ammo! I'm not sure exactly how that worked! Oh well...it makes him happy and then when I want to spend money he can't say much HAHA! Tonight he made dinner, which he cooked ONE of the many steelhead in the freezer. It was hard keeping Ellie away from it, she really wanted some! I don't know if I ever put on here what exactly made her sick...it was Salmon Poisoning! Dogs are the only animals that can get it and it is from eating raw salmon, steelead and couple other things. It is an micro organism that gets into a parasite that gets into the fish and the if the dog eats it, the dog gets it and it wreaks havoc on them. Crazy! So don't feed your dogs raw steelhead or salmon...we learned the hard way! Not much else to say except that I'm glad we're setting the clocks forward because that means it won't get dark so early and since it decided to snow again tonight I'm REALLY looking forward to more sunshine!!!

ELLIE IS HOME! She is totally back to her normal HIGH ENERGY self so far! I was hoping just a little of that would have went away but I'm just glad she's well. So tonight I've been working on a new layout. I'm going to submit it for a contest on a digital scrapbooking website (acherryontop.com). The theme was pets so I used this picture AGAIN because I think it's cute and I love it. Let me know what you think!

I'm excited...we get to take Ellie home today. The doctor called this morning and said she's kept all of her food down and has twice the energy she's had. So, I get to go get her in a couple hours! She has to have a couple different pills when she comes home and lots of water and just take it easy for a few days. I'm so glad she's ok...I'm sure it won't be long and she'll be her naughty self again :o)

Ok...so I've become addicted to this digital scrapbooking. I'm pretty new at it so I'm still learning but it is so much fun and A LOT less messy then conventional scrapbooking. I just finished this layout and wanted to post it! You will notice...I also take A LOT of pictures of myself and of course my dogs...because there's not much else when I'm just sitting around!

Well...I haven't had too much to blog about the last few days, other than worrying about Ellie, She is still at the Vet's. She didn't have a temp today so that was good, but since she couldn't keep food down yesterday they had to withhold it again until today and give her more meds. Today they gave her some food at 3pm and she kept it down and when I went back around 5:30 she had kept it down and they had tried some more. I'm hoping she can keep it down tonight so she can come home tomorrow. Poor little dog...today she didn't want to go back in her cage at all when I left both times and when I left the 2nd time she whined. I'll be glad when she gets home and feels better and is back to her naughty self :o).

So that has been what has consumed my last couple days. I had planned on going to Idaho for the week but that put a damper on that. Now it's snowing so the roads won't be good. Maybe next weekend...we'll see. I miss my friends in Nampa! Now, I've just been messing around doing some more digital scrapbooking. Here are a few more pages I've done while worrying about Ellie.
