From left to right here is the run down of The Gang.

Cojak and Chloe are the parents to Mariah, Dakota and Tink. They are my pride and joy! They are also alot of work, to which I give alot of credit to helping with them to my son but mostly my hubby. He is the main care giver when I go to work. He is great with them, although I'm sure they get under his skin some days.

I don't ever plan to be without at least one Pei in my life. My Chloe Belle is my heart dog!

New Followers!

Wow, wow, wow, I got on here today, to find that more people are following us! I'll have to really get with the program and start leaving more interesting stories now! I'm so glad!

Off to work I go!

I had to come back to work today! BOOOOOO!!!! I really so wish I could be a stay at home person. I love my house, I love my family, including my 6 delightful Pei, if I could just stop spending money, I'm sure I could manage staying home all the time. Hmmmm......how to make that happen? I give up, so it's off to work I go each day. I am glad I have a job, just wish I didn't need one.

Jonathan and I went down to Sinclair college, here in Dayton today and got to talk with a counsellor for people going to school with learning disabilities. We have to wait and see if the testing he has had done will be enough, or if he will have to have more done. After that is determined he will have to take a placement test, and hopefully get enrolled for the fall quarter.

He has been enjoying his new laptop. He gets on it alot each day, but I want him to realize he needs to stay on top of his chores as well. We are also going to start working on his driving skills hopefully sometime soon. I'd like to know he can drive if he needs to.

The dogs are doing well. Tink seems to be shaking her head alot, think I'll have to give her a good ear cleaning soon.

Final Gift for the Graduate

Tonight, we took Jonathan out to eat for his last gift from us for graduation. He chose to go to TGIF and we had a good time. I will state though, the entire time we were gone, my thoughts were wandering to the dogs, and wondering if they were tearing anything up, were they fighting, or were they just asleep and resting?
Once we got home, I went around to the front door and let the big guy(Cojak) out, he stays in the front part of the house while we are away. LB went through the garage and let the rest of the gang out. Once they calmed down, I was dirty, but it was nice to get out for a bit. It's not something we do as a family very often, as someone usually stays home with the dogs. So, Jonathan goes in the morning to see a counsellor to find out what he can take in the fall for college courses.

Happy Memorial Day

We didn't do alot for the holiday. Yesterday, LB and his siter went out to decorate their family graves. I used to go with him to do it, but his sister moved back to town a few years ago, so I let them have this memory time together every year. Has to make it more special when a family member is there with you, I think anyway.

Today, I took Jonathan to get his graduation gift from us. Well, it didn't really start out that way, but it all worked out. We went by Best Buy on the way to the mall, and he seen the laptop he was wanting. He is so happy with his new computer, he stayed on it all night, well, after he wrote out and addressed all of his Thank you notes for people who sent him money for his graduation.

He did get to spend some of his money on the laptop as well as getting some new clothes, so he did good with the spending.

We were going to grill out, but decided to just cook some hot dogs and hamburgers in the house and call it a day. We are pretty laid back these days, all in all it was a nice and relaxing day.

LB split wood I think just about the entire time we were out shopping. I always worry about him, but he seems to be doing pretty good with his back and leg/foot problems these days. I notice though that he does seem to tire out alot quicker, I try to make him take it easy a bit, but boys will be boys!

Graduation Day!

May 22, 2009 The day my son graduated from high school! Yipeeee!
I am so proud of him, he behaved himself like a gentleman, I was afraid I'd cry but I didn't. It was a rowdy ceremony, but I guess the kids were happy to be done. He has an appt. for next Wed at the local community college here in town with a counsellor. Hopefully we will get him enrolled in something for the fall. He received quite a few cards, as well as money, which he really seemed excited about.

Jonathan went to his Baccalaureate

Tonight was Jonathan's Baccalaureate for his class at a local church. He and his dad went to it, and he said he was glad that he went. He said the minister told them not to concentrate on the past but to be concerned only with the future. He really seemed to have enjoyed the message.
I stayed home tonight with the doggies, so that we aren't leaving them two days in a row for awhile. I really wasn't even planning to have Jonathan go, but LB said it was part of their graduation ceremony, and he thought he should go, I'm glad he suggested it, and that they went.
One more day, this time tomorrow he'll have the diploma in hand and be feeling pretty good about the accomplishment.
He's been getting some cards in the mail from friends and family, and even some money which he is really into. He's putting it all up and writing on the back of his cards so he can send out thank you notes. Thought that was good on his part.
