A bad week! and It is almost over!

So much for up dating last week. It wasn't a good week.

One of our dogs, Lucy, died. I guess you need to know how we got Lucy. Tim found her at Cracker Box on 425 North, she was standing out in the middle of the parking lot. When he found her she had a purple collar on so we figured that she belong to someone, so we put her on the radio about her being found so someone would claim her. Well, no one claimed her so she became Megan's dog. She was a very cute dog, except she had a thing with barking at the ground, weird! But she was cute all the same. She wouldn't let Jake eat, so we had to separate her and Jake when they ate. They were always playing, I think we had to separate them maybe two or three times when they would actually get into a fight, but that was Jake had had enough of her pestering. So we have had her almost or right at a year.

She was just a puppy, and of course I feel like it was my fault. We have a shed/house out in our back yard and when I was out there with Tim helping him find something (the place needs to be cleaned out, I'm just sayin) I seen a rat, not a mouse but a rat! Scared the crap out of me, dang I screamed and Tim just laughed at me, ok, so I had some rat poison in the house and decided to put it in the shed not thinking about when the rats would die and where they would go. The poison makes the rat/mouse go to water before they die. Well, Lucy found one of the rats and ate it, well the poison was in the rat and it affected Lucy just like the rat. Tim was at home, but didn't know what was wrong with her, if he had know she ate a poisoned rat he could have gotten her to the vet and got a vitamin K shot, and it probably would have saved her, but he didn't know until late Monday afternoon when it was too late to help her, I could cry right now from the thought of it, that we let that poor puppy suffer. I sat outside with her until 11:00pm, but had to go in cause I had work the next morning, I didn't want to leave her alone, but didn't have a choice. Jake, our other dog was laying by her in the morning, you could tell he was sad and didn't know why she wouldn't play with him. It was so sad and tearing up just thinking about it. Tim laid her to rest by our other two dogs out by our swing, this way we are close to our pets when we are outside, and it is peaceful to be out by them. Lewy (poodle) passed way about seven years ago, we got him in 1995, and Duchess (chocolate lab) passed away two years ago in June of 2008 and we got her in December of 1997.

Ok, lets get on a happier note....We got another dog, yes we needed to get a playmate for Jake, he wasn't happy, so I started looking for another dog. I was going to get one from the pound, but all they had were small dogs and I wanted something about the same size as Jake or that would would get as big as Jake if it was still a puppy. I went through the paper and found some free dogs and of course called to find out about them and that is how we have come across our new dog Duke/Rex/Dude (we haven't decided on a name yet) we picked him up Friday afternoon, he has some lab in him, but not sure what else he has, but he is a cutie (didn't want another female dog, because we have to put her in an electric fence when it is her two week problem). They play cute together so we are all happy about that.

Ok, now for classes or shall we call them stresses. I think I am just a little bit STRESSED, it is getting close to the end of the semester and graduation (yes I will be walking because I graduated back in December 2009). Some classes I wish would never end because of how fun they are, and others I just can't stand, yes I know bad attitude, but I can't help it! Have a fun final for Instructional Tech. just some research for a power point. The main class that I am stressing about is Survey of Math, I have a test in there tomorrow, and need to study it like it was the last thing I need to know!

SO LET THE STRESSING BEGIN!
