Ryan and Miranda’s Blog

So, Denali is looking for sponsors for a class she wants to take. It’s with Scott, and is pretty expensive.  The cost includes a pretty top of the line remote collar and 6 months of classes. Scott is going to demo the collar for us once we start Therapy Dog Prep class with him in January. Anyone who wants to donate to further her education can send check, cash, or money orders directly to us. Or you can send it in the form of K9 Kash from VK9TA. Any donations will be greatly appreciated– I’m tossing around the idea of selling one of my kidneys (I think I only need one of them anyways).

Now on to the topic of New Years. Not to be a scrooge or anything, but I really don’t see the point. You count down til midnight and then what? You have to remember to write 2010 instead of 2009 on everything and it’s a pain in the butt. Just seems very trivial to me. Christmas, sure,  I understand that… the birth of Jesus. He’s a pretty big deal. New Years? ehh I don’t see the big deal. You could pick any day and mark THAT as a new year. Odds are, I’ll be asleep by 11:30- just like every other night.

Well, neither of us have posted anything in over a month… we really aren’t very good bloggers!

In the past month, we had a great Thanksgiving with both of our families and managed to get most of our Christmas shopping done already. Just a few more purchases and we’ll be done. It’s so nice to not be stressed about that! I think that is a first for me. Usually I end up being one of those December 24th shoppers.

Nali is almost done with “2nd grade”. She has this week’s class and then her CGC (Canine Good Citizen) test on the December 16th. She’s pretty good with everything except for “Friendly Stranger” and “Out of Sight seperation”. But hopefully she’s pass. Either way, she’ll be going on to 3rd grade next- which should be alot of fun. She’ll learn more “tricks” in that class. Ryan took her to the vet yesterday- she has an ear infection . But then she got to go see Santa at Petco. Her picture came out really cute. Ryan will post that on here as soon as he scans it. She is just so cute, I can’t stand it!

Jelly will be turning one on Thursday. And yes, I’m the crazy lady who is throwing her 1 year old cat a birthday party! I can’t believe he’s already a year old! We set up the Christmas tree the weekend before Thanksgiving and Jelly LOVES to hide under it and play with the ornaments. He is quite the godzilla to my village under the tree.

That’s all for now, as you can see, we lead very exciting lives.
