Chad and Kristina

The tree was taken out professionally but the roots were left to us. As you can see from the piles of wood (roots) we are making progress. But we have more to go before we can fill in all the holes. Hope to have a lawn soon.

In 2007 I was working with a Cal Poly Student Brandie and she was on the “Tractor Pull Team.” I had no idea what it was but when she invited Chad and I we decided it might be interesting so we went. It was so much FUN! It was so incredible to see and feel all that power going by. We went again in 2008 and 2009. The Poly tractor pull is the longest standing tradition Chad and I have. I think this could be a yearly event for us for many more years.

Thanks Brandi for introducing us to the Tractor Pull.

This year Polly Thunder got 1st place in its class! Woo Hoo!!

Ella is all better but the cone head video was too funny not to share.

Ella is doing fine after her surgery. She was happy to go home and was able to walk to the car. We were told to have her rest and not play too much. If you have meet Ella Pom Pom you can understand how hard those instructions are to enforce. We are trying but she is so playful it is really a challenge. I thought we were doing a good job and she seemed to be feeling better but her incision looks like it is opening a little. I am going to take her to the Vet on Monday but she moves around ok and seems happy so I am not too worried.

Manny is also doing good but a little bothered about how spoiled Ella has been this weekend. Other than that he is healthy and happy. He is defiantly the low maintenance dog of the house.

Ella is doing great. The vet gave her a cone so she wouldn’t lick too much and everything is healing nicely. It was too funny seeing her with the cone on. We still have to limit her running but she would be going at full speed if we let her.
