My mother had her surgery today — fell and broke her hip yesterday while still in TX after getting out of the pool — slipped. sigh… Had to have half replaced and I don’t even know what’s next. Waiting to get more info from my sisters. But, update on Pearl — she got two group two’s and two group three’s last weekend and today a group four. YAY. All added up for the rankings. Every time she does something in the group she get more dogs defeated. Right now she is #4 standard poodle bitch in the country and 6 or 7th overall. I’m hoping with all these wins that she moves up another notch but I’m pretty happy as it is too!!!

thanks all — she is doing pretty well from what I hear… my father used to call her a strong “norsky” being half Norwegian. I think he was right — seems to be pretty hardy stock. She certainly keeps bouncing back, thank God. I hope that isn’t a derogatory term – we even named our St. Bernard that… lol

Being 100% Norwegian I promis that is not derogatory, we are proud of being strong and hardy. She will bounce back!

Thanks Beate. I am meeting more and more Norwegian’s lately too. Just yesterday, a woman came to meet the dogs and brought a friend who looked through my mom’s memory book we did for her last mother’s day and noticed that mom is Norwegian and she told me she was too and not only that, she was born in the same area as we were (Rapid City, SD). Small world. And mom doing steadily better. They are moving her to a rehab place for the physical therapy they already started in the hospital. Said she should be ready to move home in about two weeks. My sister is not so sure… we shall see.
