Where is Snooks?

[tigerlily46514]

Ey, where is Snooks? I'm only in here now and then, I overdose on the site when i get a chance to, and then i'm gone for a while again....

but i haven't noticed Snooks just lately. What, is she off on vacation, in some hammock in the caribbean or what?

[tx_cowgirl]

I'm not sure. I've been really busy lately and haven't been on much so I haven't noticed who's active and who isn't, but now that I've been picking back up here she hasn't been on much and Dave's been more active. Lol. ^^

[Jean]

Yeah, we haven't seen her in a while. I will e-mail her see how she is doing.

She had shoulder surgery, so is a little handicapped right now, but doing ok. Hopefully won't be out of commission for too, too long :-) j.

[Jean]

Thanks for letting us know.

** I wish you a prompt recovery snooks! I hope everything turns out well with the surgery and that you are more healthy than ever! **

OH MY, TELL SNOOKS WE ALL MISS HER AND WISH HER A SPEEDY RECOVERY!!

Oh that's right, forgot about her surgery. Hope she's back soon.

Thanks so very much everyone. Sorry I dropped off the face of the earth. I can't pick up my laptop or type very well so it's like having an e-gag. I got on today forced to renew my virus software and saw the notes. 4-5 more weeks and i can move my right arm. aack. Both of my dogs have discovered i'm a little slow and I swear they are laughing at me.

I recruited a fit 13 year old neighbor with a good tennis ball arm and she's been slinging tennis balls for me. tired dog is indeed a happy dog and a happy mom too.

Thanks for the well wishes, they are surely welcome. The pups' new trick is bring mom the pillow off the other end of the couch so she can rest her sling on it.

I've had some day help in and they've taught puppy that keep away with tomatoes and apples is great fun. puppy has a new best friend among my helpers and she's so playing up to that. corrective training about keep away (mostly for humans) is under way.

Puppy learned with some good practice in the last few weeks to pick up silverware and remotes with less slobber. the $$ digital clicker suffered a fatal crunch.

My sense of humor has fortunately remained undiminished "so far." My dignity, I gave up on long ago when puppy pulled my onto my backside into the snow in front of the entire neighborhood whilst loading the schoolbus. Due to this the current slobber and peanut butter on my clean pants every day doesn't phase me.

carribean hammock....don't i wish...can you order me a pina colada too??

[tigerlily46514]

I'D BUY YOU ONE!!! HOPE YOU ARE GETTING BETTER SOON!!! Poor thing! Cute notes about your pups!

[tx_cowgirl]

Lol nice to have you here Snooks. I think a bunch of us regulars have been out and about away from DTA....

Wishing you a speedy recovery from myself, Mud, and the boys.

[tigerlily46514]

Ya know, Tx, you are right, seems like DTA kinda slows a bit in the summer months, doesn't it? Wow, in the winter, it is bam! bam! Lotsa postings in the winter, but must be that summer sun calling us away from the computer more..

Well, i'll have that rush of nonstop postings to look fwd to, get me through that brutal northern Indiana winter then!!
IN the meantime, if i get hungry for some good "dog talk" ha ha---i am catching up on reading stuff in old threads, some stuff Buddy does is already covered in old threads..

[Jean]

Welcome back snooks!

We missed you! We were all wondering .. 'hmm, where's snooks?'!

But I'm glad that things are getting better for you. A shoulder injury must really suck! And I appreciate that you've taken the time to write to us, even if it involved writing with just one hand.

Stay strong, and keep taking in positive energy within you, it'll make you heal faster.

Sincerely,
Jean

Yes I agree, the Academy definitely slows down in the summer. But for me, I've been quite busy with the leaderboard! I've pretty much worked on it every day for like 3 months, but I think it will be fantastic. At least, I hope.

Ugh, summer sun calling us away....NOT HERE! 105+ degree weather I'll either be in a POOL or playing inside with the dogs. Lol. No siree, I am definitely NOT loving the summer. >< Ugh. The EARLY mornings and LATE evenings are wonderful(with the right amount of mosquito repellant) but unfortunately I usually either work until 10 at night or starting at 5 in the morning. 5-3 or 12-10....so I rarely am ever up early enough for the nice time of day, and if I am up, I'm stuck in a building. My park visits have all but disappeared, and my outside training time has been converted to trips to dog-friendly-air-conditioned buildings. It's been rainy lately but that's just made it unbearably humid. e-e Grr, this summer has me in crummy moods.
