Fezzik has been boarded at a VERY affordable rate at a ranch in Norco, thanks to the power of Twitter. Sage is the nice lady boarding him, and he seems super happy to be there. I miss him terribly but it’s good to know that I can visit any time. Also found out: he WILL chase chickens. And horses (but only if they run). You’d think a few well-aimed kicks in the general region of his head would dissuade him, but nooooooo. He came running to me whining for about a second and a half before deciding to see if his next attempt would go any better.
…Idiot dog.
I want to thank everyone on Twitter involved in helping me find a solution for Fezzik. So, thanks to @ChiqueLife, @dailypatricia, and @SewChick for schilling on my behalf!!!!! I can’t tell you guys how much I appreciate it, and how grateful I am that you would work so hard to help a complete stranger like myself. Please check out these awesome women and their respective websites below:

And super extra thanks to Sage at http://www.sagency.net/, not only for agreeing to board and care for Fezzik long-term while I work on buying the house, but for showing me around the ranch, making me feel at ease, welcoming me to visit any time, and calling/e-mailing me regularly with updates. I feel so safe and secure that he is in good hands and enjoying himself!!!
As far as the radio interview with Jennifer Westaway goes, it is being broadcast Easter Monday, April 13th (today!) It is going to be a 3 1/2 minute segment on their national radio news, “The World at Six”. It starts being broadcast at 6:00 p.m. from the Atlantic region; earliest you could hear it streaming would be at 2:00 p.m. our time at http://www.cbc.ca.radio/. Probably better, though, would be to download it as an mp3 and then you can scroll along to find the item without having to listen to the entire show to hear it. You can do this in the afternoon/evening here: http://www.cbc.ca/w6/
So… yep. Here we go again! She said they’re going to mention the name of my blog on the air, let’s see how high the Canadian traffic spikes! I love Canada!
Ooh, got my tax return, too. Woohoo for extra money!!! Although, can someone please explain to me… my income tripled from 2007 to 2008 (this is before I was laid off, obviously). Yet I got only about half the amount of refund this year as I did in 2007. How does one earn MORE money and get LESS back?! *confused* H&R Block guy tried to explain it to me, but failed miserably. Ah, well. Anything is helpful at this point.
