Graduation day ~
I must look like I'm on the verge of labor. I’ve got strangers saying, “Whoa! When are you due?” Friends are all asking, "Is your bag packed?" I know I've gotten bigger in the past couple of weeks but come on....I feel fine. I really think Henry isn’t coming before Sept. 26th, but so many people have told me, no way – he’s gonna be early. We’ll see.

It is true what they say, you get a sudden burst of energy a few days/weeks prior to delivery and I've been a mad woman running errands, cleaning up the house...I've even got Cindy's bachelorette party tonight. Eight wild chicks are meeting at my place - fun, fun! I’m still working and it seems like there’s something goin’ on every night, so lately I’ve been getting home close to or after 9.

Matt and I have been taking Shackleford to doggie training twice a week for the past 4 weeks. I’m proud to say, he graduated…with honors! Yep, he made a 100% on the doggie obstacle course.



Shackleford is a pretty well-behaved dog. He now knows sit, stay, down…the basics. Really we signed him up for the class to get him used to other dogs. He likes small dogs and friendly dogs. But he hates shepards, border collies, blue heelers. He barks are ‘em and then goes right for their jugular. He’s never lashed out at people, so we think he’ll be fine with Henry. The class was helpful for discipline but he still freaks out when his “alpha-male” complex is threatened. Oh, and he hates cats too.
