I can't help but think of that saying, "If there is reincarnation, I want to come back as my dog/cat". Seems I have, sort of. Having the flu isn't so bad, it just the extreme exhaustion that anything I do causes. I have the week off from work but haven't once thought of all the things I need to do with this sudden extra time. I haven't even touched my embroidery. Wow! I *must* be sick!! 
You'd think that being a member of Danse Macabre for a lotta years and Guild Master of DM for 4 years, that I'd know.... but I always thought there were only 2 kinds of death, the good kind (in your sleep) or the bad kind (not dying in your sleep).

There's an Upper Death???!! That would imply that there is, somewhere, a Lower Death! One may extrapolate and then all the that there are possibly a Left or West Death and a Right/East Death.... and all the compass points.... and all the planes of the dimensions in the Space/Time Continuum.... Who knew? PS. its near Escalante, Utah..... just in case you wanted to avoid it... 
srsly

We were changing drivers and as I was coming around the jeep, I looked down and saw it... The drive was rather boring.... We saw 2 parachuters land on a target as we passed the Mojave Desert. I hate going thru Lost Wages. It looks like an over used whore in the daylight. Then we got to Virgin River Gorge.... ( nearby town called Beaver Dam) and the trip got better and more scenic. It got cold as we neared Cedar City, we almost reached 10,000 feet in elevation. We saw some snow, some cattle, some horses & some llamas. Finally we got to Scenic Byway 12!! It took us through Dixie National Forest, Red Canyon, past Butch Cassedy's Hideout.... I've been down this highway before and it really is worth the side trip and extra time. It is a very beautiful route. Good night from Escalante, Utah! 
Wednesday I'm leaving for Moab, Utah!! The Mo'jave & I will be joining a Jeep Jambouree and doing some serious 4x4 off roading in the Moab area. Moab was where I did my first 4x4 trip. There'll be some incredible scenery, awesome/scary challenges, and friendly people!

To get there I plan on taking Scenic Byway 12 with a side trip down Hell's Backbone Road. The Mo'jave has never been there, too bad we can't spend more time. There are TONS of things to see and millions of back road miles I'd like to see. The Mo'jave tells me he wants to try his hand at driving off road. OK, he can learn on the same trail I learned on, Chicken Corners. It only has one place where you actually have to do some rock climbing, but it is called Chicken Corners because there is a section of the trail hugs a cliff wall around a bend. In the driver's seat it looks too narrow to drive through. But when you get to the other side, get out and look back, you see there is plenty of room. And then you look in the opposite direction, across the gorge, and you can see the cliff where Thelma & Louise drove over/off. 
I asked my sister to send an email to GDA inquiring about Calle. We know there is supposed to be a "call in" this month. A Call In is when they call in the pups that are a year and a half old to begin the real working guide dog training. We received the news this morning. Calle will NOT be a working guide dog. She has been chosen to be a breeder! She will have only two or three litters before she is retired from breeding and each litter will be spaced by a couple of years.

So if each litter averages 6 pups times 3 litters equals about 18 brand new shiny Hopefuls!! Knowing Calle, I'm sure each litter will throw at least one successfully working guide dog. You can be sure I will be following Calle and her pups!

about me
I left NJ because I couldn't stand the cold winters and "republician" atmosphere. Unfortunately, I'm also too weird for CA. But I really enjoy the weather. I only get homesick when I am back in NJ visiting and then I see the beauty I took for granted growing up. I grew up running thru forests and along stream banks.
For the last 5 years I have been a Puppy Raiser for Guide Dogs of America in Sylmar. My 1st dog, Cigfa (Welch for raven) didn't want to do the job, my second dog Venice,is in harness training right now and I think she'll make it. I just received my 3rd pup, Nisha (Hindi for night). I take my pups all around town and out to Faire, well, once they are housebroken. Don't wanna be embarrassed!! I also go to schools and talk about Guide Dogs to the students.

(in Danse Macabre)
On a recent trip to Utah, I took a side road called Hell's Backbone Road. It is a beautiful, scenic road, but its 30 miles of washboard! It took a little over 2 hours (20 mph!! if you go faster you WILL fishtail!) I did it in my jeep, but a car an...
