It is me again...totally random compilation of thoughts

Well, I thought I would try to update a little. I have been having trouble with coordinating my internet access. In order to get something actually posted, I do not promise any organization to my thoughts. :-D

I am currently at work. I have been working at different stations throughout the county the last while. I have a different "probie" partner than at Christmas time (which is probably the last time many of you all heard from me.) We have had the usual mix of actual emergencies and things people think might possibly be emergencies. Also, one of the medics from my shift was in a really bad wreck last week. It seems like she will be okay, but I know she would appreciate your prayers.

The dogs are doing well. Sparky had a few things he needed some help with, so he spent a week at boarding school. He seemed to do really well, and is behaving much better now. I need to spend more time working on his lessons with him, but he seems to be doing well when we do work on them. If for some reason you happen to visit us, or we see you...please help us out with his lessons. If you don't mind, I may hand you the leash and ask you to take him for a little walk...all you need to do is walk several feet away and then you can return. Also, if you don't mind, check to make sure it is okay to pet him...he has to learn to behave a certain way before he gets attention. But when it is okay, he really is an affectionate puppy. :-D He will just randomly come up to me and wait for me to pet him. :-) Awww...it is nice to be loved. :-D He and Shadow seem to be getting along really well. They seem to keep each other entertained when I am gone and occupied when I am busy doing things around the house. Fortunately they keep each other out of trouble, and have not conspired together against me yet. :-D

The weather here is somewhat confused. We fluctuate between 20's and 70's. This weekend is supposed to be fairly decent. That is nice. Lynetta plans to come to visit. Maybe we will get a chance to do some hiking with the dogs. I took both the dogs for a walk around the lake at the nearby state park the other day. Sparky learned a lot that day. Apparently he had never seen a large boulder in his walkway, or a large fallen/cut tree.

Well, to borrow my favorite Aussie's term...I am feeling a bit peckish, so will go in search of food.
