The holidays are over and it is time to get on with the new year.  Sir Hil is recovering from his broken leg....the trip to L.A. ended up costing a lot.  The dogs are all wishing for nicer, dryer weather.  They would like to be out in the big yards but they aren't impressed when I insist on baths before they come in the house.  We have a Canine Good Citizens class to evaluate tomorrow and then the Thursday mornings will become puppy classes.  The kitchen remodeling is still going on....grr!! The weather has been extreme but we haven't had a lot of accidents.  That makes it a bit easier on our ambulance crews.  Roza is due to have puppies on Monday.  As usual I'm always glad when the litter is on the ground and everyone is healthy.  Hope all of you have a wonderful 2008.
