Hi All,

We finally got all moved in, now we only have to get settled in
(easier said
than done, apparently <G>). The dogs are really enjoying the
acreage and even
Emma, who is our resident couch cushion in a dog suit has taken to
flying
through the pasture at outdoor time. She's also not contained by
the fencing
we have here (Mini Dachsie) so she is relegated to the flexi,
which irritated
her at first, but she's dealing with the indignity in exchange for
walks with
all those wonderful smells

On a less positive note, I went by the "old house" yesterday to
pick up a last
load of linens and clothes I'd left and on the way home I was rear
ended by a
huge dump/trash type truck (it was a business that cleans up
construction, etc.
debris) and I fear that my van was totaled Matt - Here's two
****** up to
my Windstar, because I and Lacy were largely uninjured despite the
severe
damage to the rear end. Lacy was thrown into the windshield (not
good) but I'm
actually glad she wasn't back where I usually crate the dogs
(cleared for the
move) as the cargo area was compromised (the only hard thing I had
back there
were some sizable steel Tonka trucks belonging to the boys - they
were
considerably bent) and the area was peppered with window shrapnel
(I even have
glass in the front floorboards) Not even sure how I would have
gotten her
out without the jaws of life, since there would have been no way
to access the
crates except from the rear....and that was completely crushed.
On the up
side, we went straight to the ER clinic who pronounced her
unscathed and they
gave her rimadyl (I know) for a few days to help with any
subsequent bruising
that might occur.

Anyway, even if I'm not here much, I am back online.. just busy!
Oh, and I
have never been in an accident before, so aware that their
insurance is
supposed to provide me with a rental (my van was towed to a city
lot until
tomorrow) but any advice as to how best work that (or anything
else in re to)
would be welcome, either here or privately.

Thanks!!

HOWEDY fork,


That so? The Puppy Wizard disagrees.

Well, that's neat an tidy, ain't it. Can your dogs
PROTECT you while locked in their crates?
Could you get them HOWETA the crate if the
vehicle caught on fire?


That so? Could get your dogs DEAD on you.
