Change In The Weather

Cabin fever has been curtailed, at least for the moment. We've had rain for so many days in a row that I've lost count. I decided to run a few errands today, so I'll be getting the Crossfire out of the garage, albeit with the top in the up position. Still, it's good to see some sunshine and warmer temperatures. It appears to be only a short respite from the rain that will be returning in a day or two, but it should satisfy my itch to get behind the wheel of the Crossfire and do some manual shifting for a change. I might just put the top down, if it doesn't get any colder during the next hour or two. I may need to keep the heater on, but what the heck...

Chili Dog Is On the Mend

Several blog readers have asked about our Chili Dog's recent surgery (she was spayed), particularly in regards to her recuperation and overall health. Nancy and I are pleased to let everyone know that Chili is making great progress on her road to a full recovery. She is a very sturdy little dog and has exceeded our expectations, and her vet's, by reaching her wellness goals way ahead of schedule. She is currently about eighty per cent back to normal and I imagine she will be eating normally, and be able to do her exercise routine as normal, by early next week - at the latest. She will be off all her medications within a couple of days. Finishing her meds should help matters, as she doesn't look forward to that part of her treatment. We'll both be glad when we can give her a bath, but there is still a week to go before that can happen. It's not really a big deal, since she is such a sweet smelling dog anyway.

So... Chili says "woof" (translation - thanks for thinking of me). We hope everyone is in the best of health for all of 2010 - and far beyond. Again, we would like to thank everyone for their concern regarding our little Chili. We do appreciate it.

The software that comes with it is user friendly and you even get your own personal web channel to store your videos - what a neat device. Check out our web channel below.
