Pearl and Ziggy are doing excellent. Dana is doing a great job as a fairly new handler. I am really impressed with her dedication and ability. I am glad that Ziggy ended up being Pearl's little brother. It was a nice match for everyone and I get to see him. Dana sent me their recent brags......

Vacation, Website, Etc...

Roy and I left on Thanksgiving for my first real "no dog" vacation. We spent a few days in Florida. Went on a 7 day cruise in the Caribbean. Then spent a few more days in Florida before returning home. Twelve days. I didn't know how well I would handle that, but it went ok.

I also didn't know how well I would handle the ship. Last time I went on a boat and spent the night was on the Scotia Prince over 20 years ago. It was a small ship in comparison and the water was rough. The ship was really rocking. I was wicked sea sick and hated it. First night I started getting that feeling on the cruise and I was bummed. Luckily medication really cleared that up, but then when we went ashore I would feel like the ground was moving. It took a week for that to go away. I started to think I would have to live the rest of my life on a boat.

It was a nice cruise overall and the ship was lovely. Food was excellent and the weather was awesome. I could get used to laying on the white beaches of the Caribbean, but I definitely missed my dogs. I would find myself migrating to any dogs I saw on my trip.

I had a lot more pictures and video of the trip, but unfortunately my computer died not long after we returned home. Luckily I was able to retrieve most of my website, but not the most recent so I have to spend some time soon getting that updated. Sadly though I did loose a lot of other files, which really has made me sad and frustrated. Technology is great when it is helpful, but frustrating when it is the only source and it is lost.

We had some very nice black and white portraits done. I was very pleased with how they came out. We both look pretty decent.
