busy weekend

Tory had his first of many more to come speaking engagements last Saturday at Tama at the Iowa Dog Breeder's Association so Jon and mostly I took care of Stone Hollow and Trent and Addy Friday night and Saturday. I went out on Fri afternoon with Trent from school. We got out early which was good because it gave Tory and Abby time to show me the ropes before they left. We left Addy at daycare figuring she would be napping anyway. Daycare called about 3 saying that Addy was running a temp and we should come and get her. So I went in to get Addy and home to pick up a few things and then back to the Toppings. I called Jon and told him to pack a bag and come out as soon as he got off work. Addy wasn't too sick thankfully, mostly just a runny nose. We had 2 people drop dogs off that night and I just had to let the dogs out once. Jon and I went down after Addy and Trent were in bed. I had 18 dogs to take care of in the kennel and 3 dogs up at the house. I went down in the morning to let them out and feed them while Jon stayed with Addy and Trent. Thank God Jon was there to help. 2 dogs got picked up on Sat. I only had to let the rest out a couple more times and then I was done. Abby and Tory got home around 6. I was so tired Sat night I went to bed at 7 and didn't wake up til 8:30 the next morning. Maybe next time we will watch either the dogs or the kids, not both.
