We had a very busy weekend. We went up to Oshawa to help Scott's sister in law with her floral shop. Friday was non-stop from 10 to 7, but that's to be expected. We got all orders ready for Saturday which made the day much easier to handle as people came in. It was a great weekend weather wise as well. No snow for the boys to trudge through! Ryan joined us Friday night. Patti had dropped him off at the Go Train in Hamilton and Scott with Tyson picked him up 2 hours later in Oshawa. It was great to have him. He likes to help out. Kaylyn spent the Saturday with Emma. It sounds like the had a good day. They had their moments, but Kay did great as a babysitter. She does great with Emma. If only the two get along that well when we are home!
We came back at noon today just in time for the Ice Dogs game in St.Catharines. It was really good. I didn't realize how much I missed watching the OHL. I think we will looking to future games. They won 4-1, which made it easier to cheer for them. I swear the rink is smaller than the ones the London Knights play on though!
Kaylyn had a bit of a rough day today. When we got home today, she checked on her hamster Jeffery. He had curled up in the corner and passed away while we were in Oshawa. Pour Kaylyn. My heart hurt listening to her sob. She called and texted everyone that she thought should know. I helped her put him in a shoe box. Now, we have to decided what to do with him.... in the nice way. We can't bury him in the backyard for fear that Toby would dig him up.
It has been a rough week for animals. We got another opinion on our dog Toby's ear infections. They have been going on for 2 years. This vet is concerned for our safety. Even though he is a very passive dog, with the pain that he is in, he could very well bite on a whim. She broke down the cost over the next year just to get it cleared. It is quite steep. We love Toby truly. He is everything we want in our family dog. Soooo, I put out some feelers to some friends and family. I even contacted the Bouvier Des Flanders rescue. We have found a home made solution that we are going to try. We are going to give it 2 weeks to see if we can clear it up. If not, we have decided that for Toby's health and our safety we will put him down. Please keep your fingers crossed for us!
On a bright note, we are all home together tomorrow for family day. I have to work in the evening, but we are going to have the day together. I think for my birthday on Thursday, we might go bowling. They can put the bumpers up so Emma and Kaylyn (and myself as well) can enjoy a game without too many gutter balls. Scott is an amazing bowler. He has his ring. He grew up a bowler. I didn't know this at first, but now I love him. Sorry. Hehehe! No, it's fun. I think that will be a great night out for all of us!
Well, I should go. Emma just walked into our room apologizing. She had the rod from the bottom of her curtain in her hand. She said she was golfing! I think some is WIDE awake! Time for some Mommy stories in the dark to make her go to sleep!
