Pixel's Lucky Day.
Pixel's rescue is out of the US - believe it or not I found her picture posted on Facebook with the caption 'last day' above her. She was in Baldwin Park animal shelter in California, that has a very high kill rate. I emailed the english setter rescue trust of america to see if they could save her and it just worked out that the current contact for that group is based in Lincoln, CA. Long story short, Maryl pulled her and I convinced Curt to let us take her - she flew up from San Franscisco!

Demo has begun!
This little boy loves all this action and the big equipment. I think he could watch this all day long! But for me, I'm fine to just watch him being cute. ;-)

Crazy Sam.
Come out, come out, where ever you are! Dan calls me to bring my camera. Apparently he heard whimpering sounds from under the deck. What a goof ball! Maybe it's cooler?

Am I a bad owner?
The situation surrounding Sam and our mailman is causing so much stress. We've put up barriers, and barricades to help the mailman feel more safe when delivering our mail. Moved the box to the sidewalk. Having someone come and photograph your yard, apparently my license plate is important to photograph too. And suggesting that the dog might unlatch the gate...and while we're at it, I hear he can cook me dinner and make my coffee in the morning! Anyway, yesterday I put an anti-bark collar on Sam. I'm feeling so guilty. I've never seen a more stressed or lifeless dog. He would lay in the grass and not move the entire time. Between the collar and whatever else was going on inside, he is a mess. No more collar for him. I can't do it. This morning he's been nudging me, so I picked him up and he's curled up on my lap sleeping. A 40lb dog on my lap. He's nervous now. I feel like such a bad owner. I'll work with him, using other methods to control his behaviour but I can't believe I resorted to being so cruel to him, because our mailman is afraid of dogs and he himself won't take steps to understand how to deal with them. I can work to control Sam's behaviour but I'm sorry Mr. Mailman, I can't take responsibility for your feelings. That's something you need to work out on your own.

{sick} sam
Another night of vomiting. Someone was walking around taking photos of our yard (creepy) so I have no idea if someone threw something bad into the yard and Sam ate it. Back to the Vet.
But Tika, my crooked sitting dog, is still as sweet as ever.

A new day.
With strangers lurking around our yard yesterday, and Sam ill today. We'll be heading to the Vet to be sure something wasn't thrown into the yard to make him ill. Poor dude.

Les Saisons {Chelsea}
We started the day with coffee at Les Saisons. Such a great spot and it seems to be the hub of Chelsea! Once you're caffeinated , head over to Delilah {in the park} for some great shopping. The store looks amazing.
