I love Fridays!
The thought of waking up Saturday morning drinking my coffee on my new coach and watching "The Practice" on TV. Yes, i know this show is old but I love it!
John on the other hand hates it and rolls his eyes in disgust! I can't help it, I love the Lawyer Drama!!!
Maddie and Gunther have been keep me busy, no joke they have gone though about 8 tennis balls in the last week.
I even had to buy a new CHUCKER all together, becasue they had no regular tennis balls.
I went to the new "all natural" pet store, call DEE-O-GEE!
i know very clever and expensive, but they had some cute stuff!
I was hoping to get an ad with no luck and figured buying something would help my chances!
I try not to do this often but sometimes i feel guilty!
Have a good Friday-Abby

SNOW
So I am excited to say that Fall is here and winter is well on it's way.
snow in the mountains again tonight, which means hopefully a great base for ski season.
I have to also say that it official John Carruthers- my amazing husband is a Bridger Bowl ski Patroler. i could not be prouder of him.
not an easy job to get may i add. I can not wait to see him in that uniform!!!
Maddie is great-we also have Gunther, our neighbors dog around for 2 weeks while they are on their honeymoon.
it is a hand full, but Gunther has a great face, almost human- very strange he has huge eyes.
i am sure i am smothering Maddie, while i am trying to assure her that i love her the most!!
Like she really cares, right.

Faith in the medical system.
About 2 months ago i had foot surgery on my left heal!
i have horrible feet as it was put to me, hammer toes, high arch, bone spurs, ect. made me feel great. i had been having problems for over a year and i just couldn't take it anymore.
i had a done spur in my heal that was the size of a date!
i know!!! ouch! the surgery went well and i am on the mend and my orthodics are working wonders. they said a normal person with my feet wouldn't of had these problem until the age or 40-45, i guess that tells me something doesn't it!!
I guess i am paying for all the crazy stuff i did as a kid! kicking Haley't butt and breaking my big toe didn't help i bet.
anyway back to my point- i corbraed my old insurance from Targhee, $800!
i kept getting these statement saying my insurance will only cover a certain amount, leaving the rest up to me.
The Explanation read this-this charge exceeds the reasonable and customary allowance under the plan.
Ok- to me this means i am getting over charged. some places write these charges off, which is great! but the actaul small doctors office i went to did not.
I was left with over a 600 bill not to mention what i had already paid out of pocket 1250 to hit my major medical plan, the surgical center fees, and a 300 surgery desposit, and the 800 to cobra my insurance.
i know it was adding up. and i was really upset about this 600 coming due.
My Doctor- waived all remaing fees.
I got the call yesterday that said i had a balance of 0.00! i still have a few hundred left to pay to the surgical center but it felt awesome to finally come out ok with insurance. Only thanks to the kindness of my doctor, none to insurance company. but at least for the first time i met a doctor who cared and actually did something about it.
I am going to write him a thank you letter and tell him that he has restored my faith in the medical profession!

stop- WHO
I find myself very amused by Montana, it is even funnier than Idaho and that is saying something.
A few things- all over town and around montana there are intersections with no STOP signs posted.
i was confused. how can 4 raods come together and no one be promted to stop or at least YEILD.
Everyone just kinds bust through them with no worry or concern about a possible accident waiting to happen.
Als0- all along downtown you can take you dog anywhere! outside of stores there are bowls of water, marked PUPPY PUNCH, and 2 days ago while walking maddie a local store owner left a jar of treats just sitting on the side-walk. Maddie loves it.
