Looking for a new job.

So I am going to be looking for a new job. I love what I do now, but I just don't have enough hours. I am looking for either another nanny job, or a job as a photographer. Maybe with animals?

Well, if anybody knows of anything let me know! Hopefully I can find one soon.

A trip to the vet

Monday I had to take Ginger to the vet for a short visit. Sunday, his paw was bleeding and when I looked at it I was shocked! His poor paw was about twice the size of the other one.

It turns out he has an infection in his paw, so he is now on antibiotics for two weeks and a pain medication for a week. Plus he goes in for a recheck next Saturday. If it isn't any better by then he will need to have an x-ray to make sure the infection hasn't gone to his bone.

I sure hope not...

Hot, Hot, Hot!

The weather has been so hot the past few days. Yesterday was 95 degrees outside and, for those of you who know Washington, that's hot! Yesterday I was going to take Oscar and Sadie to Cottage Lake, but it was too crowded. Both parking lots were full, and people were starting to park illegally. So instead, I set up the kiddie pool out in the back yard and threw Oscar's tennis ball in it, although he doesn't need the tennis ball to go in. He got excited just seeing me get the hose out!

Today is not as hot, but still 89 degrees. I'm going to try to go to the lake in a little bit. Maybe it's not so crowded this time. I can only hope....

Looking like Summer

The weather around here is finally starting to look and feel like Summer. This week is supposed to be hot, hot, hot! With the rest of the week in the mid 80's - low 90's, it will be perfect lake weather! I now have a chance to get my Canoe out and wash it down (it's been sitting in the garage all winter and spring), then I can take it out onto Cottage Lake.

New Blog

A few days ago I started a new blog about my photography. I'm working on starting my own business and thought " Why not blog about it?" There is a link on my blog list.

Crazy Me

So, I have decided to do something completely crazy. I love taking Oscar out hiking with me. He has his little backpack that he carries all his stuff in and he can go a lot further than most Boston Terriers, plus he has so much fun. Recently I purchased a book called "Best hikes with dogs: Western Washington". Inside it has a whole list of hiking trails, where they are, how long they are etc. I figure- Why not do them all by next summer? So, that is what I am going to do- all 85 hikes. I will take my cameras with me on every single one and take photos of my adventures. Plus I will blog about each one and list the good, the bad, and the weird.

This is going to be so much fun!

Water dog

Boston Terriers are not a breed known to really like water, but for some reason Oscar does. When I take him to the lake, he will drag you there and when it's time to go home, you can't get him out of the water. The funny thing is-he used to be terrified of water. I'm not complaining though because I don't have to bath him in the summer. He does it himself!
