Moving to Normal

Lightning struck again with another surgery on October 6th. Fortuanately it was an outpatient deal and I was home safe in the afternoon, although with a big hole in the abdomen. This this time, however, I had Ralphie the Dog to come home to.

In July, wife and I visited the nearby animal shelter where we knew that a young shetland sheepdog would eventually come available. When the shelter opened at noon we were the second in line to enter. The couple ahead of us went directly to the shelter office and we almost ran to the shelter and started looking at the occupants for the sheltie. I found the dog (him) and my wife asked the shelter attendant that we wanted to walk him.

Once in possession of the dog, the dog can be adopted by the those in possession of the dog, so that is how we ended up with Ralphie the Dog. Ralphie the Dog is a male Shetland Sheepdog, and unlike Sassy the Dog who was female, is very energetic and playful.

Walking is a chorse and requires at least 2 miles to keep Ralphie's energy in check. I am getting lots of excercise and am thinking of finding employment somewhere so I can get some rest during the day.
