Last night there was a little bit more snow but not much. I guess the roads to Denver are moving slow as well as the ones heading up the hill. No worry though, we’re fine with it.
I took Mojo to the vet yesterday as he was getting worse and lifting his back right leg. Once there, the vet decided he needed x-rays and that he’d need to be sedated to stretch his legs out for to get it done. She asked me to leave him and I was going to go get him at 5:30. Thirty minutes later the vet called to let me know, there is no cancer and his pelvis is not broken which were the two things she was worried about. Turns out though, he has arthritis in both hips but surprisingly his knees are fine. He’ll start on an anti inflammatory daily and needs two shots a week for three weeks. I was supposed to get him at 5:30 but when I was on the way, they called Lori and said he was sleeping peacefully and he could spend the night at no charge so they could keep an eye on him. So he spent the night and we’ll get him today.
Earlier, at 4:30, I went to Jagger’s China orientation meeting. They’re going to the Yunnan Province down south by Tibet, Laos, Burma and Viet Nam. The city they eventually land in for two days is still 7 million people. Then they’ll take an overnight train to a smaller town where they’ll spend 3 or 4 days taking day trips to Tibetan monasteries and other places. I thought there would be a bit more structure but they have some free time in various places where they can cruise around and explore in groups. It’s a small group of like 10 kids and three instructors including one who lived there for 7 years and has his adopted Chinese family that everyone is staying with. This is a hands on experience where the kids stay with family’s and are immersed into the culture. Should be quite the experience. As Lori said, thank God Jag is a leader and thinks for himself. I think there’s only two guys and eight girls. We’re a little nervous but trust him and his teacher who spent years there as well.
Today at 5 Jag has his first home basketball games. There’s two games, JV and Varsity and he’ll play in both. Tomorrow he has games by Grand Junction, two on Monday near Steamboat and two on Tuesday in Summit. Hope they win.
Lori has been fighting a cold and still is. I have a headache from having the heat too high and woke up at 3 this morning to open the window for some fresh air.
Lots of stuff going on at work and this should be an interesting year. We’ll keep you posted.
Greg’s wife Kristin is doing really well but has a long road of recovery ahead of her. She can’t even fly until the 23rd. I was headed to Denver today but with the snow, it’ll have to wait until Monday.
Also remember, Ty’s birthday is next Wednesday! Have a great day, GB.
