(i’m not going to write picture this anymore.
no real reason, i’m just not. it’s the title of
my blog and i feel that’s good enough, right?!)

so, that said…
hobie is going to get to go back to the vet.
i’ve been watching him like a hawk and he hasn’t
pooed in 2 days. i’ve got a call in to megan up
at anderson lakes veterinarian.
hobie is on my lap with his paw on my arm so this
is tough typing…i asked him if he wants to go and
see dr. bey and he said yes. so i am going to take
him up there, dr. bye has an 11:30 today so I’m
just going to drop him off so they can work their
magic with him! poor thing.

gary is golfing with tim this afternoon (tough job
they have!). the 4 of us will golf on saturday am.
i cannot afford to fall in love with golf again
this will be a busy season for photography and i
don’t know how much time I’ll be able devote to it.
it’s gary’s passion! he has low round so far out at
dahlgreen….a 74 (with a bogie on 18)! yep, welcome
to my life this summer!

hey, i gotta go. pray for my boy and his bowels!

jacquie, see you tomorrow @ 9! can’t wait!

oh, head to my web site, i’ve got a bunch of new
images up. mostly on milestones & children under “faces”.

picture this…
i took hobie in at 7:30 this morning to
have his procedure done.
they will sedate him and manually empty
his colon/bowel….ick, right?
whatever works! the enemas were clearly not.
so, anyway i drop him off and find that there
is a kitten ahead of hobie that is having one
of it’s eye’s removed (perhaps ickier!).
this is a stray from the humane society that
they have been working on for a month to
get healthy enough to have this surgery.
my veterinarians work with the humane
society of hennepin county and donate all
of their time. isn’t that wonderful?
i remember going in once and there was
another young kitten (stray) that was giving
birth to a litter and needed help. shari was
holding one of them and it was sooo tiny!
i just love the folks up at anderson lakes vet!
i think i owe them a pizza…maybe tomorrow!
i’ll give the hobie update tomorrow.
i took this last night…

network meeting today (every wednesday)…
did i mention that we moved from flagship to
the offices of the eden prairie chamber of commerce?
well, we did that just after the 1st of the year.
it’s a really nice fit.
flagship was taken over by braham and the
“lifetime fitness” empire and made it impossible
for us to continue meeting there….so, on ward
and upward!

my newest addiction? those flippin’ candy hearts

i can sit and put away a bag in a day…
why must these companies put seasonal stuff out
so early? don’t they realize that there are addicts
out there? it’s just not fair. okay, i admit it, i enjoy sugar.
otherwise i guess i’d be sitting here telling you
that i can put away a whole bag of apples, right?
NO!!! those are out all the time…there’s no attraction!
don’t you get it?! it’s like, i never eat hershey’s kisses
until the pink foiled ones hit the shelves.
BRILLIANT marketing, that’s what it is…bastards!
i’m certain there must be a 12 step program for sugar.

enjoy the rest of january…..
65 days ’till bert blyleven’s & my birthday!

picture this…..
hobie went first.
oh yea….

here’s christy with NO band aides…
(good boy hobie, hang on!!)

and here’s christy with FOUR band aides!!!!
hobie didn’t care for having his tail shaved
so he chomped on her left arm..
(oh katie, it’ll be over soon!)

i posted so late last night that i feel i’ve nothing more to write.

today i am still playing catch up with all the photography.
tons of senior portraits to order and a couple of wedding
albums to wrap up as well.

i’m beginning to research the 40D due out this spring.
pretty intriguing!

another beautiful september day.
love these cool nights and warm days!
get out and enjoy it!
