Outside almost all day

Not too much to report here. Today was Jonathan's official first day out of school! He got up, ate, and walked over to where his Dad and Papaw were cutting wood. Helped out there and then came home. The dogs stayed outside all morning, with the exception of my shadow, Mariah. She doesn't stay out too long if I'm inside. Chloe and Tink took breaks and came inside, but the other 3 stayed out the entire time. They love laying out there in the sun right now. The weather was really nice, cool, but sunny. I dread summer, I don't like the heat as much as I used to.

Scratching in the Night

I get home night before last and let the dogs out as I usually do. Hubby went up to bed with Scooter in tow, and I stayed downstairs with the others as our usual ritual to let them settle down long enough to start drifting off to sleep but hopefully not long enough for Cojak to fall into full slumber. He's a bear to wake up just to go upstairs, seems like it takes me 5min or more just to get him to wake up. Some guard dog!
Anyway, once upstairs, I shower, and give the 3 that sleeps with us their nightly snack, and lay back to begin watching a bit of tv. Turn the baby monitor for the downstairs on to listen and make sure all is peaceful. SCRATCH, feet running, SCRATCH, SCRATCH, more feet. I get up and go down to see what is going on. There is styrofoam all over the floor in the family room. Some one had gotten one of the kitchen chair pads and properly destroyed it. That's the third one now, by the way. So I pick up all the pieces, meanwhile just fussing at all 3 of the ones downstairs. Bad dog, I say, you shouldn't do that. Just scolding away. I throw the stuff away, come out of the laundry room, 2 of the 3 are gone, and Dakota is slinking around with her tail tucked between her legs, head held down. The other three went and hid under things, and wouldn't come out! Now I feel bad, cause I scolded them. Sheesh, to look at them you would have thought I beat them, they just have a way of pulling at your heart huh? So, naturally I apologized, started talking baby talk to them, and all was right with the world.
Told them to go to Nighty-nite, back upstairs to bed I went, no more problems.

Last Week of School

We are on the last leg now! This is Jonathan's last week in school! He'll be out for a week and graduate on the 22nd of May. I will be so glad, now hopefully he can find a part time or full time job this summer. Keeping my fingers crossed for that too. He wrote out his announcements this weekend so they will go out tomorrow. He still hasn't tried on his cap and gown, but I figure we still have a bit of time for that. Wonder will I cry! Of course I will, better remember the tissues and make sure LB has the camera in his hands.

Dog Fight

Cojak got jealous of the others getting attention from LB the other morning, and poor Scooter got a gash on the top of his head. LB said it was a bit rough to get them apart, and for whatever reason Cojak also grabbed Tink by the jaw. I had just gone up to catch afew zzzzs that morning and came down to help clean up the blood. We put peroxide on everyone and now all seems fine. Of course later when I did lay down, I dreamed of none other than a dogfight. ARGH! Silly dogs, I hate when they fight, although I should mention Scooter and Cojak havent' been at it since around October so that is pretty good.
Later when I got up, Cojak is licking on Scooters head, as if to say, "Im sorry", goofy dogs!

Announcements Ordered

So, this past Sunday, I ordered Jonathan's graduation announcements. I think they should arrive by next weekend hopefully. I told him it is his job to write out the address' to those he's sending them to. Gosh, I still can't quite get my mind wrapped around the fact that he is graduating! I'm sure I'll cry, so I better have LB hold the camera so we get a nice picture!

I just verified my phone to be able to send a post to the blog. Probably post more often now.

Down Day

I had to work yesterday, which was the first Saturday to work this year. A bit strange to say the least, but I'm glad, I can use the money.
Dogs are all doing good, in fact they are due for a bath, but I think I'm gonna take the day to rest and have some down time. I am learning to play a new game, EQ2 and may get on for a bit later.
I put a crockpot of potato soup on earlier, so as soon as its done, we are going to eat it with some french loaves.
The weather has been anything but consistent here. Today its a bit overcast but the good news is I believe its only in the 60's which is nice. I can't stand when its hot in the house anymore.
Jonathan is getting closer to graduation. It will be May 22nd, can't believe my baby is graduating.
