Sunday hike at Sander's Preserve

We haven't been able to get together with Bob & Noreen for a few Sundays because of weather or other reasons but this week we had them come to our house early.....before the weather got bad. We went to Sander's Preserve which is right around the corner from where we take Molly to dog school. We have been wanting to try it but the problem is it is open for hunting from Nov to April.

We did the lower trail which ended at this point so we had to turn around & backtrack for a while.

They were resting on this bench while I explored!

We took a turn to get us back to the parking lot which didn't look like it had been used much....this is why! It was like jungle land & we got pretty scratched up from all the brambles!

We plan to go back & do the trail across the road & also see if we can figure out where we went wrong this time!

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot. When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow. Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out. I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly. Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes. It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet. Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners. We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Work, cat bites. hospital.....

After a long winter I went back to work on Thurday & as usual it was crazy with the phone ringing off the wall! The weather wasn't that great but golfers in the northeast are like caged animals who are finally free! We had good weather predicted for the weekend & I was scheduled to work both days. After a very long day Saturday I finally got done around 8 pm & was meeting Popster & Jess in Ballston Spa at a surprise birthday party for Jeff & Colby. Jess met me in the parking lot & said she was leaving as she had also worked all day. She showed me her arm where she had been bitten by a cat earlier at work. She had gone to urgent care & they gave her antibiotics & she went back to work. Before I left for work Sunday at 5:30am I woke her up to look at it & didn't like the way it was swelling up. I told if it didn't look better when I got home at lunch we were going back to urgent care. This is what it was...
