I went into town this morning (unusual for me!!) and lifted weights and did some exercises. My daughter works at the middle school and they have a group that meets a couple of times a week to exercise and she invited me to go. I really enjoyed the weights and I think that I'll keep going. There were only 3 of us this morning so if there's not a lot I'll feel more comfortable. Then I went to Alco (kinda' like a very small Wal-mart) and by the grocery store. My pantry has seemed so bare lately and it was certainly time to stock back up. I had to clean a bunch of stuff out of the fridge. YUCK! I swear that I need a housekeeper to keep on top of everything!!!!

I slept in, and got up just before someone came to look at Canada. I ended up re-homing her. I love her, but she's so bent out of shape about Bella having pups and was so overly attached to me that I had to have a babysitter watch her when I couldn't take her with me or she'd destroy the house. It was worse than having a baby 'cause I can't take her everywhere I go so felt like I was grounded to the house by her.
Lucky for me, Katie and Josh had things under control, so they'd taken care of all the dogs, cleaned and refilled their dishes, pools, and pens, had strung the smaller mesh wire inside the empty run (so the pups couldn't squeeze out) and put Bella and her litter outside. While I met with the visitors, they pulled the birthing pool out of my office, and rearranged it to get all their stuff that had been stored in my living room out into the office. It looks MUCH better here now. I already miss Canada but know she will get a lot more individual attention with her new owner than I could give her. I'm sure she will be happy and settle right in.

I'm sorry you rehomed Canada. I honestly don't think that is something I could ever do. I put too much human emotion on the dogs and I would be afraid they would wonder where I was, or if I was going to come get them. It would just break my heart. I know breeders have to do that, but it's just not in me to rehome a family member. Now if it was my husband....well....LOLOLOL.

Janet, if I hadn't had a really good feeling about the woman who took her I'd have not been able to let her go. Shortly after she got home with her, she sent me the following email... gives you some idea of the kind of lady she is.

She knows her dogs and Labs in particular. I felt very at ease with her approach. Canada seemed to as well. Doesn't mean it was easy, but I'm convinced it was the right thing to do for us both.

Oh I'm sure it was the right thing or you wouldn't have done it. Please don't think I was judging...I wasn't by any means.
It's just not something I could do. I get attached so easily and the longer they are here, the harder it is to let them go. This last litter was especially hard because they were here till 18 weeks. Much longer than that and I'm afraid they would have been here for life. I need to learn to get past it, but doubt it will ever happen...LOL

I wish I had someone to help me with the house too. Seems like I just can't get all the things done I want to.

Thanks everyone for your encouragement! I have lost a few pounds lately and I'm hoping to keep it up. My daughter and her husband are dieting so I know that I'll get some encouragement from them. That will help me.
I'm not real sore today from the weights. I don't think that I worked quite hard enough but I was just learning the routine yesterday. Friday will probably be more of a workout. Tink, I didn't know that you had a problem with Canada being so clingy. That would be hard to have all the time so I understand why you rehomed her. We'll miss hearing about her. She was a good dog and a beautiful lab. I'll miss you, Canada!
