Sawyer was leaving for Africa, it was a very hectic time at work (thank goodness I work from home) and we (New Orleans Pet Care) were very busy. Several of my team were in the middle of finals and/or papers due. The evening prior (12th) we had plans to take Jessica and Sawyer to dinner before Sawyer left. Remy was not feeling well that day and had a seizure in the early evening hour so Mike stayed home with him. When I got home from dinner... we ended up in the emergency room with more seizures. I decided to take Remy to see Dr. Cathrine the next day (13th) because he still did not look very good... I just had a bad feeling. Wow... was I right. Dr. Cathrine told me that he HAD to spend the night but just one night. She let me take him for awhile before I had to leave him. I drove to one of our favorite spots on the River Road between La Place and our family home in Gonzales. Our spot is a place we had gone many times... lots of trees, smells, and places to run. The photo was taken there... After lots of tears, some cuddles (Remy was not a fan of cuddles) I returned to La Place to drop him off. My life has never been the same... I go back to that spot when I need to reconnect with him and with myself. If you don't have a "spot" I highly recommend them... I miss him so much.

Put a fork in us!
We are done... I got a very interesting telephone call from a very frustrated pet owner who has been at work for 12 hours and her pet care provider "could not work today because of the weather". OH MY! I just can not imagine not being there... I guess we are blessed with a great team and a passion to take care of our responsibilities. Like our babies have any idea that we are dealing with snow, traffic, etc., etc.! They just need to TT! We had a great day... good night Paris, Chicago and beyond! Thank you team - New Orleans Pet Care... Sawyer, Jessica, Bradley, Marci and Sarah. Can you imagine?... taking off today... oh my!
Labs love snow!!!
Clearly there was no way I could just stay at work when it was SNOWING and there were TWO labs at home wanting to play...so...I left :) Buzi and T played lots in the park!
T made a new girl friend named Bit...he was faster than her even in the snow!!
Buzi had dreams of being home in Massachusetts for the rest of the day :)
Snow Update... I am no Willard Scott!
Well, it stopped snowing but it was fun while it lasted. It rained (sleet) for a bit but that is over now to. It is really cold. We are half way done with our day ( I am posting some photos on the blog and emailing others)... The streets of New Orleans are crazy but that never slows us down... Only one cancellation today so that means it is business as usual in the city... We are on time and walkin', walkin' walkin'!
