What the crap???

Today I had to take Max to the vet. You see, I received a phone call on Friday that told me that my very expensive dog will die before he reaches the age of two if I did not have this lab work done and/or a kidney ultrasound. It seems that several of Max's brothers and sisters may also have this condition and the breeder is concerned about how much she will have to fork out to replace all these dogs. Seven puppies is a large amount of puppies to replace and she would like to make sure that all the owners are taken care of. Well breeder lady, here is the scoop - MY DOG DOES NOT HAVE IT!!! I have forked out $161.00 for lab work today to find out that you do not have to give me $700.00. Today when I wrote out the check, I almost had a tear in my eye thinking about how many hours I will have to work to cover $161.00 for lab work for a dog. You see, breeder lady, I will now be spending my weekend at home and preparing all our meals here because of your frantic phone call. We will not have the money to eat out. The next step you tell me is to have the kidney ultrasound. My vet explained that the dog will have to be sedated for that study. I am only wondering if you two know each other.

Funny words

Sometimes my kids can say the funnest words. This morning it was so foggy outside that it was difficult to see. Katie says, "I can't believe how froggy it is this morning." Cole agreed that it was very froggy. Katie sometimes says allergy for alert when playing battle with her brother. Cole says that he takes durteck (Zurteck) for allergies. They were singing, "The weather outside is nightfull, the sun is so delightful, since we have no place to go, Let it snow." Well, at least they say I love you just right.

Swim Lessons

We had swim lessons for the first time on Thursday. Both kids really need to learn how to swim. They are taking lessons from a very sweet girl named Hannah. She is a swim coach and teacher. Needless to say, she has experience. Cole was in tears as soon as heard about the lessons. Katie was pumped up and ready to go. When we arrived at the pool, Katie began to cry. Cole was trying to be very brave. She taught them the proper way to enter the pool and talked to them about the difference between the deep end and the shallow end. The lesson started with the dead man's float. Katie was up first. Katie floated and then Hannah told her the proper way to keep her head up so that her ears were under the water. Katie did not like that one bit. Hannah then told her that she would count to ten and then help her up. As soon as Katie's head was floating, Katie began to count. Hannah then informed Katie that she was the teacher and she had the right to be the one to count. Th...

Fire Crakcer, Fire Cracker, Boom, Boom, Boom

Today is News Years Eve. The kids and I spent the day at home making a cake. David went to a football game. We gathered at Marty and Jennifer's house along with the Brake family (who are moving tomorrow to Boston) and all ate soup and cake. As darkness fell, we took to the street to shoot off LOTS of fireworks - most illegal. The kids had a ball running around with sparklers while all the women watched for the cops! The husbands would light and run. Yes - it was a grand ol' time celebrating New Years Eve in the south! Too bad the Brake family are moving up north - I bet they will never see such a show up there. Well, heres to a new year.
