- CALL AND MAKE CARPET INSTALLATION APPOINTMENT!!!!!!!


Okay, enough for the lists.
We finally got fed up with our contractor and amicably agreed to withhold 10% of the project cost and have someone else come in to dismantle his lame attempt at putting in two drawers under the bathroom vanity. Our cabinet guy then could not do the job as he is in bed with a hurt back. I found another guy by looking online. He is close to us and I emailed him 2 pics and he came over, took apart whatever he could of the crap that was done, made a super box for the drawers to eventually go into and put in a beautiful new toeplate. It is all now primed and ready for the new drawers. So everything that absolutely has to be done before the carpet goes in is done (for that part anyway). YAY!!!

Ma is getting worse. I arranged with the nurse at SC to have a hospital bed ordered (called her Dr. to fax an RX over) and she will order it and have it delivered and set up. Arranged with Janet to meanwhile move the night table (which she fell and cut her head on and got stitches for 2 days ago) and put a pillow on the floor where her head would hit the floor if she fell out of bed. PT and speach therapy is arranged to start up again. DR. apt will be made with neurologist at the request of Alliance. She is not responding to instruction, can't walk to the table to eat even.


Cutely, he loves his clicker training! Did I post a vid of him learning to bow? About 3 weeks ago, we gave him about a 10 minute training session on it. Tap him under the chest and lure his head down between his from legs, move the treat back until he has to stretch back and move one front foot, and then treat. (gradually of course) Okay, so on Sunday, we were having a little first aid session with some of the students. RI put her hand under his chest to listed for his heartbeat (or for some reason, can't remember), and what does he do but BOW!!!!

Ordered moo cards hehe. Convinced OH to come to SF in July! Tickets bought! I will go a couple of days before the conference and he will come the day after the conference. We will have a lot of time to be with M. Must think of some fun activities.
