Another one bites the dust...............

Got a call from the pound and I decided to not adopt the bulldog we saw.  The woman from the pound was very negative about him, and after listening to her for a while I stopped her talking and said "you are being very negative?"  She explained that she didn't want anyone to be under any illusion what they would be taking on.

This bulldog had allergies (like we don't know anything about allergies in a dog!), and had just had an eye operation, so would need lotion put on his eye twice a day for the rest of his life.  Then she thought he would need an operation on his knees and hips, despite the fact the vet had found NO problems with them.  On and on it went.  She figured he would need $250 spent on him per month.

She also said there were 17 other people wanting to adopt this dog, so I said fine let one of them adopt him.  I feel so sorry for this poor bulldog if he only has this very negative woman advocating for him.  So dh has said we should just forget about looking for another dog for a while, and I agree.

Pleased with myself as I managed to take down the snow fences one handed on Tuesday.  Dh just has to take down the posts and put the snow fences away, they were too heavy for me.  So I have decided there will be no more snow this season!!!!!

Computer problems, Best In Show and another Happy Birthday.....

Our desktop computer is playing up, and when I say playing up, it is having a real temper tantrum.  I am using it at the moment, but it is very unstable..........like most of us I guess!!  So I need to back everything up and then take everything off of it and start afresh.  One little problem with that, I have no clue how to do it.  So will have to wait until dh has some time so he can do it.


Meanwhile it's fingers crossed that nothing else happens.  Luckily I do have my laptop and that seems to be working fine at the moment.

I watched the Westminster Kennel Club 2011 Dog Show on tv last night.  There were some weird looking dogs, actually it was just the way they were groomed.  I was surprised at the dog that won, a Scottish Deerhound. Can't say I am familiar with the breed, are you?  Here is a photo of the winner:

Another birthday today, my mother's.  Poor thing is as sick as a dog with this rotten cold that is going around.  Pleased to say I can't be blamed for it, as I live on the other side of the pond; my brother gave it to her!!!  Here's hoping she has a lovely day!

Ended up finishing off this post on my laptop as the desktop keeps freezing!! 

***Edited to add the dog show was on TSN***
