Better

Posted on June 25, 2012 by Cilla| 2 Comments

Was sad and alone yesterday. Everything was just hard. But in the same time the support from friends all over the world came in. In the end the tears running down my chins wasn’t only because of everything hard going on but also from how humble I was from all nice words! Anna suggested to save all words, messages and emails to read on my next downturn! And she is right, I should! I am not a bad person or dog owner. I am quite good…
A friend showed up this morning unannounced just to give me a hug. I really appreciated that, and I needed the hug! That kind of actions is just lovely! The fact that I just got out of bed doesn’t matter! Lol!
I also got to read the article about me that will be published on Sunday! Talk about ego boost! Reading that was humbling! I hope it can give the center a good boost too!

It has only been a relaxing day. It has been 103F (39.44C) so indoors is the place to be! Did some laundry and chatting with friends in Sweden. Just nice to be off. Not a call from work, not a meeting, nothing! A great day for recover!

Another fun day!

Posted on May 28, 2012 by Cilla| 2 Comments

Today is Memorial Day… I had to go to work to clean but that was done pretty fast. Went by Terrell to see if there was a memorial celebration but I was too late. On my way home, Kaufman SO’s ACO Wiggins called. He was in my neighborhood. He came by and we were talking for a while. While talking another friend, Deborah called and asked if mom and I wanted to come along to Dallas for lunch. Yepp, I never turn down an adventure! We went to a Chinese restaurant and had great lunch. Then Deborah and her husband took us on a tour of Dallas Highland Park. It was so much fun! We ended our afternoon with a nice dessert at a cafe!

This kind of afternoon means a lot to me! I need to see something different sometimes and be social! So now I’ve had two great weekends in row!
But when I came home I was greeted by something I did not like – a snake! It was a green and yellow snake and disappeared under my house! I didn’t have a chance to take a picture of it :( and I hope I won’t see it again! But it was kind of ironic since we were two ACO here just a couple of hours earlier..

Crispy is limping again… She played escape artist yesterday and hurt her paw that has an old injury! Unfortunately I don’t have any painkillers left. She has been resting all day and was a little bit better tonight… That’s how it goes when you escape!

Hope this week will be as successful as last week! I so want it to! I doubt that we can get 13 dogs out but that we can get the once we have!

A Day With Friends

Posted on April 7, 2012 by Cilla| Leave a comment

It is kind of amazing to be off. I don’t know what to do. Well, I know what I have to do but not where to start. Then it turned out that a new restaurant, Red River BBQ in Wills Point opened today and a couple of friends was there so mom and I headed there not knowing that it was so many of them there!

It was so fun to see them all again! And the food was just awesome so if you are in Wills Point, you got to taste their food. They will be at the Heritage Jubilee too by the way!

Thomas has bought a property in Hunt County so we went along with almost the whole group to look at the property! It was an awesome wooded area, I think it will be great when his trailer home is moved! From there we went to Quinlan to a flea market. It was fun to see, nothing to buy. Back to Wills Point and mom and I passed by Sonic on our way home. I had an ice cream and I am just sayin’, I have to go to the doctor next week. This diabetes only gets worse and worse. I need to know how much of this is just fixed in my head because I was just knocked out when I got home! I was going to change the dogs and I thought I would pass out. I was ok laying in bed but standing up was horrible. Went to bed and slept for 45 minutes and it felt better but not good. I was happy that tonight’s cookout was cancelled because I would not be able to drive anywhere! It was not fun at all!

I believe that one, maybe two of the puppies are deaf. Over and over again they are not responding on my signals when I come. I think it is both females… They are turning three weeks today. I have not decided what to do if they turn out deaf on their BAER test yet. Last time I had a deaf puppy I was lucky to find a great home for her but I can’t be sitting with more dogs right now. They might just be late developing their hearing but they turn three weeks today… I was supposed to take pictures of them today but didn’t make it at all… I slept instead…I guess this will not be one of my best litters :(

But from my best litters so far (Daimilus D-Litter) came this picture today:

This is Summer with her dog Daimilus Dreaming Delight. I just love this picture! They are both so beautiful! It is a true spring picture!!! Thank You Summer!

The horses are doing pretty good… They are still only eating and eating. Hanniball is not gaining weight as fast as the other once. I will deworm him again next week. But I guess his teeth and age is making his recovery slower than the others…

Look at this last picture… From Left… Amaria, born 2009, Dallas, Born 2008 and Acriz born 2.5 weeks after Amaria. Can you see how little Acriz is? She is still a pony!!! I will probably never be able to ride her but here you really can tell how small she is and why I have to invest in new things to her. But I just LOVE her color! I think it is so awesome!!! And their mentality is also just so great! So I will try to keep this three horses as long as I can. As soon as I have some money to buy bridles in their size I will but it might take a while… every time I have saved money for something, something else shows up that I have to use it for… :(

So this is how we spent our Easter Saturday :) Just enjoying being off work!!! No calls (yet) and no one bothering us, just a nice time with friends!

Miss My Friends

Posted on March 4, 2012 by Cilla| 9 Comments

Last night was the banquet for the Police Department. I ran a little bit late but made it there anyway. Really didn’t know what to expect, a banquet in Sweden would be a whole night gala type evening but this was a nice dinner and that was pretty much it.  It was the Citizen Police Academy Alumni Association that pulled it off for the Police Department and they really did a good job. The food and everything was excellent but unfortunately not many officers or civilians showed up… I was so happy that my friend Darla got the award for Civilian Employee of the year! She so deserved it!!! I didn’t bring any camera in, didn’t want too much to carry but I guess I will find a picture of it later to show you. My friend Jim took this picture of me, and that is the only picture that was taken of me last night (that I am aware of). You can see more pictures from the evening on their facebookpage.
I felt a little bit like an outsider… haven’t been with the department long enough I guess… and being ACO now is even more to be an outsider… we are not in the same building and don’t see each other that much anymore. Well I have always been an outsider since I left Vetlanda (in 2006). But yesterday it was just reminding me how much I miss my friends. When everything was over people  started talking about meeting afterwards somewhere in Forney but even that I was present, I was not included… so, I had to go home again. I had looked forward to a fun night with maybe a little bit of party, but even if the time I had outside the farm was nice it was too short. I was home in bed at 8:15pm. That was painful and boring… But I can’t forget the nice friends I actually have here too… I am not alone, It makes me appreciate every opportunity and invitation I get to the Saturday Cookouts or any events. Maybe I work to hard to get a social life? Maybe I am just too much in my personality for people to handle… but sorry, can’t change that…
A fun social life is just one of those things that I thought would come easier than it has… but I can understand it too, my story with being single, moving across the pond with my mother and my animals makes people think I am crazy, and I guess they are right… I am crazy and an outsider, and you know what? I am proud of it because that makes who I am today, and the knowledge I have about moving and trying something different and new is something no one can take away from me!

Tango & Oliver Mini

Remember this little fellow? Yepp, he is back now and then… Well, it is ok, I don’t know if he is neutered yet and he refuses to let me catch him. I know his name is Oliver and since we have one Oliver too, I call this one Mini… Our dogs really tells when Mini is here… As you see, Tango likes Mini, they have a lot of fun, until I show up. Then Mini runs home HA  HA HA! But I at least got them on picture, as a proof that he was here again yesterday! We don’t feed him, but he can smell when females are in heat… now it is Hanna that is coming into heat… And I don’t know what to do… Gosh… breed or not? Hanna is ready and I think it might be good for her to get a litter but it isn’t really best timing for me with one litter coming in a couple of weeks… I still have a couple of days to think about it and so far I will just keep her away from anything else than Tango and if anything happens, then it is Gods will…

Mom has left for church… I just wanted to be home today and take care of the dogs and horses. I will go and take in the horses in the stalls now and start letting the dogs out in different groups in the pasture so they can run as much as they wish and wants! And without me being nervous for the horses if they go into them. Just safety… and the horses will not die to be in the stalls for a couple of hours…

This was supposed to be my day off but I will have to go to work for half an hour today to meet some donors that wanted to donate some things… Guess that is the fun part of my job after all… It won’t take a long time but I won’t be from work a whole day either…

Might do an update later tonight, depends on how many picture I have to edit after taking all dogs on a walk!
