A VERY EVENTFUL SUMMER THUS FAR......

Hi everyone!  Cant believe it has been awhile since I have come on my blog.  I guess I had been busy feeling sorry for myself!

I had been running for exercise and was actually getting pretty good at.  I had lost some weight and was able to run 5 miles at a time in 13 weeks.  I was really starting to feel and look great.....until this.....



Yes that's my leg and that's Rudy in the background pouting from lack of doggie walks for 3 weeks.

Anyway, in the process of trying to better myself I pushed myself too hard and now have a tibia fracture and of course they don't heal very fast!  It is awful wearing this thing in the heat we have been having and I'm miserable....My summer has actually been a waste to say the least!

One a happier note, there is a new member in our family.  He is a great Pyrenees/Aussie mix and he was shipped from Oklahoma to Wisconsin from a puppy mill to our humane society.  He had six brothers and sisters and I hope they have all found good homes too.  Yukon is a super smart dog and learns tricks easy...He is 9 weeks old and already knows how to sit and shake hands.  Hes not mine though...I'm just his gramma....but he comes to run with my six doggies often.

I have my 52nd birthday and my daughter, son in law and granddaughters surprised me with a small party...how exciting and thoughtful it was!



Yummy cake!

I also spent lots of time with my grand kids and doggies...just sitting around.


ahhhh...this is the life!

Hope everybody has had a great summer....I expect to have a great fall season as soon as my boot comes off.  We are already planning a hiking/camping trip in September....cant wait!

  1. Happy birthday! And so sad about the fracture. :(

    Seriously? An Aussie/Pyrenees? And from a puppy mill? Was there a mistake in the mix? Are the rest of the pups in Wisconsin, or still in Oklahoma? I'm in Tulsa and have Aussie mixes, but have been thinking of adding a Pyrenees. Hm.

  3. Oh dear, sorry to hear about the fracture! My Mum did two major fractures to her leg a few years back so understands your frustration - have you tried going to the pool? You can even run in the pool and it sure helps mentally as well as physically :)

    Congrats on your birthday, that cake looks yummy :)

    So happy to hear of your new family member Yukon :)

    Big Wags to all,

    Your pal Snoopy :)

  5. Welcome back, mom! It's been some time and we're glad you're back... Although, we're sorry about the tibia fracture thingy. We know how it feels to be immobile for a long time. It's frustrating.

    Belated happy 52nd Birthday!


    Huggies and Cheese,
