Well, yesterday I woke up at like 4:30 AM. Most of you know I don't go to sleep until around 2:30 AM. My dad is on a screwy schedule and has been on one all the years I have taken care of him. So, not much sleep. I had to go to Salem for the HB 2470. The legislature is trying to pass a bill against all dog breeders. The bill sucked. We went to talk to all the congressmen and I made some friends. The drive up was so relaxing as I got to sit in the back of Roger and Donna Robert's nice new car. I relaxed in the back seat sipping my coffee the whole while getting more nervous as the miles pressed ever closer. Once we got there we realized we had been waiting in the wrong room, about 300 other breeders showed up. It was nice to be amongst friends. OF course there were a few people wearing "Stop Puppy Mill" dresses looking all whorish when they matched the shirt with a black mini skirt. It was standing room only and the legislatures realized that they didn't really know what they were trying to do. I didn't have to give a speech after all and I was grateful for that. I made lots of friends with people around us and had a good time. I was so glad to get home. When I was at the State Capital I was amazed by the amount of staff it takes or seemingly takes to run the show. I also realized that Rep. Paul Holvey did not write the bill, his chief legislative aide did. I basically found out the clowns are running the assylum. LOL
I'm all for shutting down puppy mills. I think that they should be shut down. But, in the same sentence I want it said that all breeders aren't puppy mills. It is not the quantity of dogs you have but the quality of care that they recieve. I'm tired tonight, been working hard all day.
Cody found a nice place in Medford to live. I'm so happy he found a suitable place. His commute to school is going to be so much less. Driving all the time is a boring endeavor.
I have a beautiful merle smooth coat Chihuahua getting ready to whelp a litter of YorkiChi's any day now. I have a Maltese getting ready to whelp as well as a PomChi litter. Lot's of excitement here. My son Colton, so graciously tried to help me make a new web site as he said my web site was cheesy and so "unprofessional". He made me a new one and it seemed so "sterile" to me. I got like 38 emails saying "Hate what you've done with the place". SO, we redid the site the old way, changed a few things, tweaked a few pages and viola... It is back to what you know. I had no idea people would hate the changes.
TOmorrow the contractor comes out to start work on the room. I can't decide if we should make it into an office, spare bedroom. It had been Cody's room and now that he is gone we can make lots of changes. Guess that is it for tonight, my Tylenol Pm's are kicking in. I'm so excited to go see my friend, Marty on Saturday.
