On Wed. we dropped April off at Myles place up the Seymour River area. A very happy April I might add! They have been apart for ten days and it didn't go so well…they miss each other so much. We then drove clear across town (I say so easily…shovel list) to our vet at 41st and Fraser. Poor Parker has a vicious ear infection, due to allergies. We picked up their papers to give to the kennel.
We then drove all the way back up to Capilano University where the kennel is. We, fairly trepidatiously, left a neurotic Parker. He goes crazy when he isn't at home on his couch. He nervous craps everywhere, he chews holes in his feet, he paces and cries, he extra sheds hair everywhere… Molly, well our only worry about her is getting her back. We have left her with people to Molly sit and they have actually cried when we took her back from them.
That evening we met April and Myles at a fantastic and new to Spod and I, Chinese food restaurant. Myles has been going there with his family forever and he ordered for us and the food was above and beyond delicious. What a treat!!! Especially the black bean beef with onion and green peppers in an amazing delicious sauce on crispy, really really crispy, noodles. To die for!!
We then made a stop at Spod's brother's place in Burnaby. I absolutely love visiting with Frank (or Frak as is Frank's username for everything) and Joan. We hadn't seen them in a long time so there was lots and lots of visiting and catching up. And they served us delicious Costa Rican coffee they picked up on their latest cruise. Mmmmm….We gave Frank a mug we found with Frak on it. I couldn't believe it when I saw it. We were feeling all pleased at surprising him with what should have been an impossible find, I mean I can't find a toothbrush with Helen on it for heaven's sake!!! when Joan emailed me a link to that words meaning…Oh Lordy! its another way of saying the F word! So we gave him a mug with a bad swear on it!!!
The next morning Myles dropped April off at our hotel really early. We get breakfast tickets here and I don't eat breakfast so she used my ticket and Spod and April went over and ate. We then dropped her off at her friends and Spod and I went to our dr. appointments. Apparently we are going to live after all!
Spod does NOT listen..or he doesn't cogitate. At home, when he was making plans to meet his besty best friend Claire for lunch, I asked him and reminded him three times to tell Claire he wouldn't be there til twelve rather than eleven. I was going to get him to drop me off at the shopping centre where I had a one o'clock appointment. There is a fat lady store there where I could visit my friends I have made there to easily kill one hour. Did he do that? NO! So I got dropped off at 11 with two hours to kill. I went to Starbucks..but it was full and soooo noisy so I went across to JJ Bean. It was peaceful and quiet (full but still quiet). I always have a book going on my phone so in actual fact I had a wonderful hour of quiet, coffee and reading.
Then…three and a half hours in the CHAIR. (shovel list) It takes sooooooo long to do my hair. But now that its all over and done I am happy!
We came back to the hotel so I could dry and do my hair then we were off again, into insane crazy traffic, to beat our way over to west fourth to meet Aryn and Bradley at the most amazing fun Italian restaurant. The food was crazy good!! We had such a good visit and catch up.
Aryn also told us that she had gone up to the kennel to pick up granddog and asked about Parker. Apparently, he is having the time of his life! They put him in a large area with a bunch of dogs and he played and played. At night they put him in his night cage and he ate and drank and curled up and slept until morning. I think he just doesn't cotton to that new age kennel in Langford!
Now its Friday morning and we have a whole bunch of random appointments and Vancouver specific shopping and fun lunch with a friend planned. This post is getting too long so I shall write one as soon as I get home tomorrow. TTYL
