Viva Las Vegas

Last week Terry went to Las Vegas for a trade show with his dad as he has done for the last two years.  Generally I have a project planned to do while he is gone but, this year was different.  We have a project planned that I could not do without him so I worked instead!  This was much to Terry's relief because he gets a bit stressed wondering what room I am painting, etc. while he is gone! 



Terry had told me to search online to find their pictures that were taken.  Honestly, the kids and I searched through ALL the pictures and STILL didn't find theirs.  When he brought the hard copy home, I did remember seeing these....just didn't recognize them! 



While they were gone the weather here in WI turned bitter cold.  Much too cold for Jake to be outside in his kennel and too cold for the unheated porch so we moved his crate in the house.  He really enjoyed the warmth and did very well inside.  Sadly, on Friday he got very sick & needed to be carried outside to do his "business", didn't eat or drink.....just slept around the clock.  Since then, he has gotten better after a few days of aspirin b/c we determined he was in a lot of pain from his joints.  He has been doing better each day now so we hope it continues.
