Em & Kart Practice

Jul 3,2008 by Judi

It’s been forever and a day that we’ve all gone out to the track for a race day, let alone just to practice. Bob finally got things to all fall into place and we went out last week.

His cousin is going to race periodically too.. so they had 2 karts out there. After some minor mechanical issues, they finally got things going and got in some laps. They talked Em into giving it a go-around. After suiting up, off she drove.. the first time my baby girl (15) has really driven and she was there by herself, never stalled it, never spun it out.. did several laps, in 2 sessions.. the next day.. sore as ever!

But everyone had a good time. I even took Enzo with me to “socialize” him a bit, since lately he’s been so skittish with strangers (even people who aren’t so strange). He did really well, all things considered. But, it wasn’t the busy either.

The weather was lovely too..

My Space & My Dog Space

Jul 3,2008 by Judi

I’ve not been much into myspace.. not sure why not, but I just don’t do much with it. Don’t get me wrong.. I do have a myspace.. maybe I just don’t have enough friends to make me want to go. Oh well.. whatever. I’m there, been there.. a while.

So the other day, I was visiting a breed specific forum and someone there had a link to a dog place.. I followed the link, thought it was a neat idea and joined. Let me tell you.. this particular community site was so difficult.. if you have more than one dog, you have to register each dog and to register, you must log out, sign up again using a different email address. I have 4 dogs… so if I want to add each of my dogs, I need to enter 4 different emails (yeah, this is fun).. then, if I want to update something, I must log into each specific dog account. Way too much trouble for me.. and to top it off.. there is *no* search feature.. so I’m there to make friends with other dog people, so off my dogs, brag on others but I can’t even search for a specific breed, or people close to me in vicinity. Bleck.

Needless to say, I quickly forgot the name of that site and the next day did a quick google for dog space.. and what did I come across by a My Space for dogs (and they even have one for cats!).. and they are affiliated with MySpace. So.. if you have dogs (or cats) and want to create a nice little page for ALL your dogs.. search for others (many different criteria), make friends, vote on cuteness and so much more.. come check it out… and add your doggy (or kitty) profile to your myspace.

Here are my doggie profiles on MyDogSpace.com. You can view my doggie photos, blogs and much more. (I have an italian greyhound, australian shepherd and a whippet)

Here is the link:

(If you join and use my pal code, 10349PAWS , I get to earn doggie dollars for my dog!!)

Woof!

Crohns Flare Up & New IG

Jul 2,2008 by Judi

Boy did I go missing a bit, huh? Going on periodic “off internet” for chunks of time is not abnormal for me… but this time, my crohn’s disease got the better of me.. kicked my butt and landed me in the hospital to get this flare up under control. Feeling much better now. Though I am now back on 40 mg of prednisone… oh joy.

On a different note…..

 
Introducing.. little Ella… she’ll be joining our family later in July. She’s a fawn, italian greyhound…. it’s she adorable?
