HOT days

I am a sweaty mess these days, with almost no movement....  I DO move, don't get me wrong!  All it takes is a tiny bit of movement and I am a sweaty mess.  Such is life in Hawaii.  I cannot go to water aerobics for another five days.  Had surgery for carpal tunnel on my right hand on the 11th.  Stitches out on day 10 and then can get the hand wet.  Have been taking excellent care of it.  It took the surgeon 12 minutes to do the surgery!  WoW!  I took acetaminophen once and once only and haven't had to take any pain med since.  I'm impressed.  Had to fly to Honolulu to do it though.  Was back in Kona by noon!  Amazing what they can do these days.

No, no one has stepped up to take Tressy yet.  Tres means #3 in Spanish.  She is a kick.  Sweet and active, the perfect terrier puppy.  If you know of anyone who wants a sweet girl, let them know to call me or email.

We did fly over the lava fountain, river and steam into the ocean in a helicopter about a week after the  first trip we took when we had to turn around because of the vog/fog.  We did have a great dinner together after that one though.  If you get to Hilo, try Pesto Cafe!  Mmmmmmmm....   The ride in a helicopter over the volcano was a trip of a lifetime.   If a person were to get a chance to do that, it is well worth the effort.  Just a suggestion.

We have about decided to not breed for the next couple of years.  That means that Myshka, the Russian girl and Reese, the mainland girl are going into retirement.  If anyone is interested in a three year old sweet girl, let me know.  Myshka is a blue and tan and Reese is a grizzle.  Both are super ratters!  They even go after mongoose.

Lesley comes to visit in a bit over a month and then we go to Colorado for the Border Terrier Club of America 2018 National Specialty.  We will take Chip with us.  He will go on to the UK with Lesley and so will Lucy, one of the girl puppies.  Henry will follow once he does his breeding task in California.

Pam Mizuno lives "near" Hilo and runs the zoo there.  She has Labradors and Border Terriers and is helping the people who have been run out of their homes by the volcano.  She works with the people saving/helping the evacuees until 11:00 PM most nights.  Her BT bitch is probably pregnant and will have puppies somewhere around mid-August.  I am going to have those puppies here since Pam is so busy she can't have them at her house.  So, those gorgeous pups will be up for grabs too.  Both their parents have gotten Best In Show ribbons.  Quite the accomplishment.

I guess that that is all for the moment.

Time to get some work done!  Darn!

Curmudgeonly yours,
