No Jeep for you…

… Come back, 1 year. Well, maybe not.  The final option that I had for paying for my Jeep fell through although I can say that I really didn’t expect it to work out anyway. If I had the option … Continue reading

Only a 2-day weekend?

Grande Prairie

Sometime this afternoon, I will be dropping Zeus and Blondie off at a “Pet Resort”.  I am not sure how they will take that, neither have been left with “strangers” before. I have had Zeus since August of 2006.  Since … Continue reading
