new things

Well, I'd be lying if I said that things got quieter around here after school was done.

Jason has been golfing a ton, as well as working at odd jobs for some of the English professors.

I have continued to babysit for Libby while her mom writes a book. I also still work at Mainstreet on the weekends.

I finished a quilt that I will have to post pictures of later.

I got a hiking backpack, finally.

Jason got a hiking hammock that is very easy to transport and super comfy.

I also started summer school on Monday. But today is the last day of the first week. So, only 5 weeks left. I can't complain about that.

In other not so good news, Jason and I having a really rough week. We had to bring Maggs back the humane society because he bit the neighbor kid on Sunday night. When Jason brought him in on Monday they told him that they would keep him in seclusion for 10 days while he was re-evaluated by a dog behaviorist. Then they would decide if he could be adopted again.

I think that is the hardest part right now. Knowing that he is just sitting in a cage at the humane society while he could be at our house. But we also know that no matter how sad we are, or how bad we want to go and pick him up, we know we can't. We can't run the risk of having a dog who bites, and one who bites for no apparent reason.

It's been a very sad week. There are still dog hairs everywhere. Random toys and treats yet to be found. And the silence. The silence is killing us. No tags clinking, no nails clicking against the hard wood floor, and no happy greeting when you come in the house. We're sorry Maggs, we really miss you.
