First off - today is my Mom's bday! Happy Birthday!!!! She's 49 again today.
David's arm is doing better. He had a shorter cast put on a week ago. On June 23 he goes in to have the cast removed, have more x-rays and hopefully have a splint put on. He is currently studying the Arizona Driver's Guide in hopes of getting his permit.
Alex is doing well. He was my life-line with the puppies, which I will get to in a minute. His Dad came and got him today and he will spend about a month in Vegas. He had straight A's in his 4th quarter at school! I was very proud of him.
Ariel had her puppies on June 1. She started whining at about 4 in the morning and popped the first one out at 5:00am. When she hit number 6 at about 8:30 I thought she was done. Then I went to check on her and there was number 7! I had to take David to the doc that day for his cast and was out at the car at 9:30 when I heard Alex scream "MOM!" I went back inside and there was number 8. Alex delivered 3 more before I got home. Her last one popped out at 1:00pm.
We have since lost 4 of the puppies. Three of them were extremely premature, but we tried to keep them around. We lost them on Wednesday, June 3. The 4th one died on Saturday...actually early Sunday morning about 1:00am. I was up and holding her when she died. They all brought a lot of tears. We will bury them in the backyard with Foogie. The other 7 seem to be doing well.
To add to our pug chaos - remember back in March when I scheduled to have Prospero fixed? Well, I had contacted the breeder because of the health guarantee that they have and this was a genetic issue. So, we purchased another pug at a reduced rate and I scheduled my trip in April to go get the newbie. I scheduled to fly out on June 5. Ariel being pregnant was a total shock as we were told Prospero couldn't breed. So even though they were going at it like drunk monkeys, we thought nothing would come of it....especially 11 puppies! So, Hamlet is our newest member of the family and he is really adorable. He is 3 months old and his birthday is March 7. Here are a couple of pix of him.
Oh - and if you are still reading - I got an A in my last class. The one I didn't like.... what was it called? Um... Principles of Investigation...yah, that's it. My class Security of Information Systems and Technology ended up being pushed out as I was the only student. That class now starts August 18. The class I just started today is Physical Security. There are only 5 of us in the class.
