Happy Valentines Day! Ken had a little stuffed dog dressed in a bee costume sitting on my chair this morning. I had to cry as not only was it so sweet of him to do, it’s message of “bee mine” brought back memories of Mom Bee and how she and Granddaddy loved each other so. It feels good to be following in that tradition of love and companionship.

Eddie and Yvonne arrived last night. Eddie got here around 9:00 pm and Yvonne got in sometime after 11 pm. We could only spend a few minutes with Eddie as we had gone in to Anderson to pick up a dog from the vet’s and it was after 10 when we got back. We were both really tired and had to get up at 4:00 am. I’m afraid we’re terrible hosts, but it can’t be helped. We’ll see more of them tonight. Ken said he was getting off at 3:40 pm today and I’ll get off at 4, so we’ll be home by 5.

They had a challenging trip trying to transport 3 cats and 2 dogs and 1 2 year old. Talk about a zoo 😛

Ken’s surgery is scheduled for 1pm Monday. They say they didn’t find anything on the MRI and offered to try to remove it again in the office, but Ken declined. He’s been in such pain after the last attempt, I know he want’s to be totally out of it when they try again. I’ll let you know how it goes Monday and you keep him in your prayers.

The Greenville semi-annual dog show is this weekend. This is the first time in years that we haven’t a dog entered in it. I will be there all 3 days as I am obedience trial chairman for the Greenville club, so will be organizing stewards and judges for the obedience trial on Friday. Saturday, I’m the co-ordinator of the all-breed health clinic that the Chihuahua Club is putting on. We have over 100 dogs pre-entered in this clinic and more are asking for appointments every day. It’s going to be very successful as our past ones have been, but it’s a long day although very busy. Sunday will be an easy day. I just have a meeting to attend and since I’m the club Secretary, I guess I had best not miss it :). One of my puppy buyers is going to come Sunday with the dog she bought from me so I can see him again. At any rate, I shouldn’t be there more than a few hours on Sunday. I’ll probably go home and collapse, though. Ken is working all weekend.

Well, you’re all caught up now.

Have a wonderful day!

Love,

Margaret
