My Computer is Still Broken... Here's Some More Photos!

She looks like she might be tending sheep, but the only thing she has her eye fixed on in this photo is her frisbee being waved in the air to get a good pose from her.

Rowena's regal "herding dog" pose on the stone wall.

Chloe and Rowena take a break from a rough game of frisbee tag.

Rowena and her pal, Chloe, attempt to share a large stick that Rowena had found.

Recently, Rowena actually went after a stick in the pond at the City Forest. There is still ICE in it when this was taken! After this day, she has not had the nerve to go back in after anything. Too COLD still!

Rowena meets two rowdy labs on the landfill by the City Forest.

Rowena poses nicely on a stonewall with her frisbee so I can take a photo.

Rowena chases snowballs in the City Forest this past winter.

Rowena's Frisbee landed in a tree. She wasn't sure quite what to do at first!

Me and Rowena enjoying a day at the City Forest.

"Touch of the Stomach Bug"

An E.R. Nurse pets Rowena's head after covering us both with warm blankets

Rosie at the Doggy Emergency Department

Two weekends ago, Rowena began vomiting and couldn't even keep water down. I took her to the "Doggy" ER and they concluded that she did NOT have an intestinal blockage (this cost about $500). After the Barium series that took all day, Rowena and I returned home and she ate a special diet for about 2 days before resuming a somewhat regular diet. The following weekend, a similar story pursued only this time it was me who was not keeping anything down. Being dehydrated and my medications out of wack, I went to the human E.R. Like I did for Rowena a week earlier, She did not leave me but stayed at my feet. She kept vigil at home at my feet as well, becoming a bit stir crazy by the third day. Today was Rowena's and my first day out of the sick house. We had a short work day and a good playtime both in the field and I let her play while I was at my friend's house using her computer. It amazes me that Rowena will stay with me for as long as I stay in bed even if it means ALL weekend! I hope that I can return the loyalty.

March Photos...

Warm and Cozy Rosie after a long romp in the forest.

Here we are last Saturday during our walk in the City Forest.


A stop by a log pile in the forest.


Rowena catches her lite up frisbee during a night game on a frozen pond.


Chris gets ready to throw the frisbee for Rowena.


We had some good snow recently, but it just hasn't lasted very long this year.

Here we play a quick game of frisbee a few miles in the City Forest.

Hello all... My computers are not working right now, so I am doing this from a friend's house. I have not been able to load pictures on here in quite a while due to whatever is going on in my laptop. I thought I'd at least share these photos with you until I can get one of my computers working.

Rowena and I have had some struggles lately, but I will save that for when I have more time. We are still working well together though and still enjoy each other's company.

Take care for now...

-Heather & Rowena
