spring
April 13, 2008 by Pat
Hi Everyone - well we have been back to work for about 2 weeks now and it has been non-stop! We finally installed our new computers - thanks to my nephew, Jake - and, except for the first day, it has been smooth sailing. Thanks everyone for your patience with us when our printers weren’t working the first day with our new computers!
Well, this morning we got a call from our neighbors that their dog was missing so we all went on a hike to try and find her. Lacey is deaf so it made the search a little more difficult. Little Evan and I went together to search while Dr. Evan took off in a different direction. While little Evan and I were searching we saw an old pail in the weeds that I decided to check out. As I walked up to it a wild turkey flew out and we jumped about 10 feet! What a surprise. I am guessing that she had eggs around as I was about 5 feet away from her when she surprised us. It wasn’t long after that when we received a phone call that Lacey had been found and in good shape - the best news of all!
Ahh tis the season - flowers are blooming and everywhere you look there are swans and geese sitting on their nests. This is one of my favorite times of year.
It is has been both a sad and happy time at the office. Judy, our office manager, was very instrumental in getting a dog that had been picked up by the dog control officer adopted out to a wonderful family and another adopted to one of our clients who is a dog trainer. Good luck and we are so happy that these pets have gone to some very good homes. Sadly, a few pets have been lost this week, one hit by a car and another due to heat stroke. My heart goes out to these pet owners and your loss put us all in tears.
Spring is a time of rebirth - look around and you can see the buds opening, the ground warming up, the grass turning green, the birds singing their beautiful tunes - all a constant reminder of the beauty that surrounds us - get outside, breathe, and enjoy!
