BOB THE BUILDER...KEEPS ON BUILDING

"Tall Man's Storage Shed"

Well, I am going nuts here in Washington.  I am missing out on the early 4 wheel training and the building of our storage units.  I love framing and building and I love running the dogs.  Kind of funny, we are having very warm, dry weather and Willow is having monsoons...rain, rain, and more rain.  While Willow floods, Washington burns. 

On my last post I said the next project was to be the open air storage building.  Well, It ended up being the compressor/storage shed.  Bob refers to it as the "Tall Man's Storage Shed.   We are both looking forward to having more storage space for this winter.  I am hoping that it will translate into us being better prepared and better organized.  (Wishful thinking??)

Hooray for Craigslist !   Bob found roofing for about a fourth the cost for our outbuildings.  We also got salmon and meat for the dogs...(soon to pick up).

Veterinarian, Susan Dent visited the kennel today and gave Rabies vaccinations to all the dogs who need them.  Another task done.  Yea ! 

While Bob is accomplishing so much with the kennel, I have been spending days and days at Virginia Mason Medical Center while my father goes through a battery of tests and appointments from occupational therapy, physical therapy to MRI's and EEG's. Thankfully, all the tests have come back normal.  However, his recent blood work showed that he had a significant vitamin B12 deficiency. He is soon to be starting B12 shots. It will be interesting to see if that helps him with his memory and cognitive ability. Here's hoping. 

Dad is so very proud and he is talking with everyone about my participating in Iditarod 2013.  He doesn't like me leaving each fall, but he has accepted it.  He loves the dogs and has "bragging rights".  He wants to know who I will bring back with me this next spring.  I think that he is secretively hoping it will be Amber.  He sure loves her.
