It has been a LONG weekend

It has been a long weekend. A's mom came to stay with us Friday afternoon and left this afternoon. It was nice visiting with her. She came because she had a board meeting in Madison on Saturday and stayed with us, instead of at a hotel. We took her to Tutto Pasta on saturday night for a late birthday dinner. It was good, the restaurant was pretty busy, as the Gophers were playing the Badgers in hockey this weekend. Then, Saturday Humphrey and I had a date with some friends and boxers to play. We had a lot of fun and my car did not break down this time. We played and played and Humphrey had a great time with Nipsey and Buggie. They are such great dogs. Then, our friends came over to drop off their Vizsla Riley to stay with us Sat - Sun. They were off to see some friends and a play in Chicago. Riley is a dog with ALOT of energy. He gave humphrey a run for his money. Humphrey and Riley played so much, he got bit on his tongue and it bled and bled and bled. He bled all over the backyard, on the kitchen floor, on my sweatshirt, on the bedroom wall. It was great fun cleaning up lots of blood. But, everything was OK after an hour or so....

Then today, we had a visit from a family interested in out foster Bert. Bert liked their schnauzer TOO much, and it wasn't a good match. I think Bert had a prey 'thing' for the schnauzer. The family was nice, a little annoying. Especially the older daughter. She kept pounding on our piano and she was in the bathroom for a long time. I was beginning to wonder if she was going through my medicine cabinet. They were all a little rough, but would be a good home for the right Boxer, and that wasn't Bert.

Now, I am chilling on the couch, surfing the internet, watching good shows and blogging. Oh - and eating an ice cream sundae - much deserved. It was either an ice cream sundae or a whole bottle of wine.....
