About $5,000.00 worth of damage



Well I had the most interesting day..... it started out relatively ok well considering the snow part. Then I did my morning route and went and fueled the bus, I was about 5 minutes away from the gas station when I realized that I did not put the fuel cap back on so I had to turn around and go back to the gas station and luckily it was still there. I think I only lost a few liters but I was not impressed.
Last Sunday we had a small accident well actually like $5000.00 worth in damage to Robs car. He has this hobby which is remote controls, and the remote I am talking about is his plane. He has to charge his plane by using the car battery, it is designed that way and there is no charger for the house. It had been plugged in for about 1 hour when he looked over and it was all of a sudden in flames, we grabbed the hose from the house but because of winter the hose was not connected yet, he connected it as fast as he could but the damage had already been done. I called the company that made the charger and we have to send them the remains and a letter stating it all and then we will see if they will pay for damages, because the charger should have caught it if something was wrong and then it wouldn't have caused damage.
And here are some pictures of the puppies

I'M BACK








Whew!!! that was a long vacation. I have been gone for 11 days. It started last April 2 right after work we drove to Vernon, BC where the boys stayed for the week, then Friday night we drove to Kelowna and took a plane to Toronto where we met my dad. We then drove and hour to Niagara Falls so that we could get our hands done into a wax sculpture. Then we drove 3 hours to Belleville where we stayed for 5 days, then 3 hours back to Niagara Falls where we stayed the day and night. We went to the waterpark, the Hershey store and of course the falls. Then we drove 1 hour to Toronto stayed the night there and then flew back to Kelowna, drove to Vernon and stayed the night there. We were supposed to leave Sunday morning but when Rob woke up he was so sick and pucking that we couldn't go so we stayed until Monday morning.
The rental car we had was so bad, I wont tell you where we rented from because they gave us 20% off, when we complained. There was no oil cap, the transmission fluid was low, the windshield wiper was half off, and the worse part was the brakes were less than 25% there, that is so dangerous you could hear them grinding when you stepped on the brakes.
We had a really great time on Vacation and the boys loved staying at Rob's parents, but I am very happy to be home. Mocha's puppies are so adorable they look really healthy. Here are some pictures.

I am not sure if I want to cry because I am so sleep deprived or if it cause it has just been that bad. I have been awake since 2:30 this morning with Mocha. She started labor at 2:30 and I knew around 3:30am that she was having problems but I wasn't able to get her to the Vet until my dad was off of work at 6:00am. She had 4 puppies total but there are only 2 now. This first 2 were breech and didn't make it, the third one made it normally and is doing really well, the fourth one came out blue because the sack had broke, but they were able to save it, so $1,200 later I have 2 healthy girl puppies.
Then on top of all that when I went to get my car after the morning route I forgot to turn the lights out in the bus, so when I went for the afternoon route the bus wouldn't start, the guys in the yard were nice enough to help me boost it, I felt like such an idiot, this is the fist time I have done that with the bus. Well I will post when I am back from Belleville, we leave tomorrow and I will post more pictures of the puppies when I get back.
