Sorry for the long post. I’m going to try to do better than waiting 5 days going forward so they’re shorter. Mold has kicked our butts again. We were making progress until hanging out with Jake, and it’s been a train wreck happening since. We didn’t take Simcha’s advice and leave soon enough so here…

We’re now 10 days out from our last bad toxin exposure. Our sensitivity to life is continuing to decrease. The weather down here was amazing until last night. It’s been nearly 60 during the day and 20s at night. We’ve been walking all around the ranch until today. We could, but are choosing not and…

Today we got up and started getting ourselves together. We decided to go to town to use the bathroom and get diesel. We saw Carlos, one of the hunters we meet the first week we were here, on our way out of the pasture. He said he was sure we’d be gone, but instead we’d…

Yesterday when we went to Walmart, again for the third day in a row. We tried to find paper towels, but reacted terrible to all of them. Today we went to Family Dollar to see if we did OK with any of theirs. The answer is no. So until we detox more and aren’t as…

Oye! Recovering from these MT exposures has been rough. We went to Alamogordo on Saturday and unfortunately all the stuff we got was cross contaminated as was our truck inside and out. We went to Socorro to return everything Sunday. All the stuff went into the back of the truck and as we went over…

Our mentor has been trying to sell us on disposable clothing for three months now. We’re finally in. I have a love/hate relationship with our ninja spin dryer. I can‘t imagine life without it, yet I have homical thoughts towards it every time I do laundry. That’s gotten better after we moved it to a…

Wesley has been consistently doing better since our last post, which was a blessing. He really turned around in a time you don’t normally see- in the midst of a storm. The good news is that while toxins likely played a role, the self-inflicted stress over work was the bigger factor. I was definitely slammed…

In the last week, I have had a little over one good day. That was Christmas evening and the day after. Christmas was a tough day, but I was encouraged with the fellowship over supper at the rancher’s house. We got lost in conversation, and before we knew it, it was 10:30. That was fun,…

The past two nights when I’ve gone to make our bed, I’ve completely crashed and burned energy wise. Today we tore everything out of the tent to figure out what the problem was. Our air mattress and both sleeping bags were retired without attempt to clean them. Bedding was all soaked and washed. The sheets…

So this pup is wicked smart. He’s making really quick progress. I feel like there are two times you don’t get either Rocket Dog or laying and resting: during training or when a cat hisses at him for being an irritant. Last night I was playing with Jake throwing his reindeer stuffy and he’d of…
