In the past month there has been a lot of publicity surrounding the closure of The St Augustine Humane Society, due to the lack of funds to maintain the thousands of animals pouring in there yearly. The St Augustine Humane Society of St Augustine, FL is definitely closing at the end of the month. Today, the article in St. Augustine Record states:

"Humane Society Director Cindy Bishop (at left kissing a gray striped tabby) is working to adopt out the nearly 200 animals at the shelter. She said she plans to call rescue groups in the area, and she is researching the possibility of transporting animals to Humane Societies in surrounding counties."

I am a real lover of Hidden Object and Puzzle Games, so I joined Big Fish Game Club a while back, that allows me to play any game I want for only $6.99 and I get a free hour to try it out first!

Playing those types of games, in slow mode, is excellent exercise for my fingers which always hurt like heck and don't work properly yet. If you love games like these, I'll include some links below where you can try a free download and try them out too!
Enjoy!

Hi All,

Sorry I am still not blogging much, arm's still in dreadful pain, and it hurts to type. However I AM using my left arm more and more. My Doctor wants me to try to get more exercise, so I am taking our new rescue dog Trinket (Minature Schnauzer) to competition training classes. I am going to try to put a CD on her!

Soon, she'll actually come when called (ok she does now, but in her own sweet time!) . She is VERY smart, and stays in a sit after her leash is removed, and can stay, with us out of sight, for a full minute, without distractions.

After we lost our last Dane L.A. this spring, and after all the health issues we've been through, I doubted we'd be able to get anoth dog for a while. However she's proven to be not only a really GOOD way to get some exercise, but she's a joy to be with and loves to cuddle. We're very lucky to have found her. She's a purebred with all her AKC reg papers, so we're good to go on AKC Obedience trials. Let's just see if mom can keep up!

Sorry for the delay in posting, arm pain and Dr Appointments do me in physically. I am starting to attempt beads this month, but it WILL be a while before I am able to make beads well.

Update, April 39 2011, I STILL cannot make a bead...pitiful trial....

I've partnered with Pedi-Paws on my http://www.doglogic.com/ website, I think the Pedi-Paws is an excellent way for the average pet owner to safely trim their pets' nails without causing trauma and for a nicely smooth nail trim~ Click the picture for more info!

Recently I created some holiday beads and a couple of beautiful pieces of Jewelry, they are up for sale in my Etsy store Check them out!:

Elbow Woes and Storm Fay!

Sorry I am not blogging much, arm still in dreadful pain, and it hurts to type. For anyone who missed the info, I shattered my right elbow in a nasty fall on Dec 14, 2007 and it STILL hurts like hell and I have very limited range of motion. I type pretty much only left handed so it tales FOR-Ev-A!

Below are the before and after X-Rays... not pretty!












As you can see, there's a lot of hardware in my right elbow now, in the first photo you can actually seee the heads of all 3 bones are broken right off. It hurts just THINKING about it!

Anyway, I just popped on to let family and friends know we're surviving Tropical Storm Fay, ok. We're soaking wet and there are tree branches down EVERYWHERE, and power's been off and on for days, but we're safe and dry inside!

See you all soon!

hoping to be able to make twisties myself, but until I can, my daughter Pam is doing most of the work in my studio so turnaround time will be 10 days at most, feel free to order. YAY! Typing is still difficult but improving (one-handed), and pain is more controlled by meds, yippee!

Thank you ALL for being my friends, and for all the support during my injury, I truly couldn't have made it without you!Thank you!
