Just thought I would update you on Ashley — he’s still at Kaye’s and is doing fine. She said he slept jammed up against her last night and woke her up this morning with kisses and nose nibbles. She’s used the morning to take down the fliers she put up yesterday and will go over to the neighborhood where we found him to take those fliers down this afternoon.

Dog show last weekend was the big Southern. Butterfly did fairly well — placed all but one day of the event while Tigger just had fun. Next weekend is a small show in Columbia, SC and we’ll just drive back and forth for that one.

The Crested puppies make their debut the following weekend at the one-day show in Augusta. We didn’t enter any Whippets at that show as we don’t like the judge.

We’ve talked about entering a one day show in Jacksonville and going to see Yvonne and Randy that Saturday before, but Ken hasn’t committed to me yet for that one.

Bought gas for $1.94 yesterday. It’s really nice to have gas prices below $2 a gallon. I know we’ll never see 99¢ gas again which is a bummer.

Back to work…..

Love to all,

Well, I don’t know what happened to the posts from last week. It seems they have just disappeared! That’s different. I know I got a notice to upgrade to a new version, but that should not have lost posts.

Yesterday was an awful day. I sure hope today is better.

Started out yesterday trying to catch up from being out of the office for two days last week. I came in to an e-mail from the people we consult with on Great Plains telling me how to correct an issue we are having with the software, so began running the utility that was suggested. I sent an email out to other departments letting them know that I was running it and that they would not have access to inventory functions until it was complete. When the manager of Logistics came in, he immediately began screaming at me that I was making his 8 people sit idle. (not). At any rate, that was the start of my day.

Got home to an email from the lady who got Ashley telling me that he escaped from her fence and she had hunted for him all day, had had reports of him being spotted some 7 miles from her house. I immediately jumped in the car and headed back to Greenville. Ken, Janet, Kaye, and a friend of hers met at the restauraunt where he was last sighted and began searching the neighborhood behind it. Long story short, I found him about 2 blocks from the restauraunt some 2 hours later. He’s fine and none the worse for wear — not even blown pads, but I am aged by about 10 years. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done to put him in her car and send him off again, but Kaye was just as devastated as I was over his “adventure”. I know she will take extra care that he not get away from her again.

Well, I need to get ready for work. Love to all,

Margaret
