Lessons learned by the new puppy. Cat and Sean new puppy, Tyson, is still eating soft food. What goes in soft, come out softer. Our other animals get upset when someone else gets the attention. The puppy loves to eat, sleep,pee, and poop.
Our numbers have increased in this house. We now have 2 dogs, 6 humans, and 3 cats. This also does not include the fish in the agaurium and the friends of Cody and Lindsey who stop by for extended stays. This week Cody's mom will come stay with us for just over a week. On the 4th of July my son and his wife, and a bunch of their friends are coming up for a bonfire and to watch the fireworks. Talk about a housefull, but you now that someday it will be just Liz and I and the silence will be deafening. It's our job now to make these great memories for our kids and our friends. God is great.

Its a sad day around our house today. Catherines and Seans dog, Noodle, died last night. He just jumped up to bark at a passing dog, and collapsed. I think that he had a stroke. Everyone is upset about this. Sean and Cat had brought Noodle here this winter and Noodle had become one of us. He had never been happier. He played with Lindsey's dog, GIGI, and those two were inseperable. The last few days we had noticed that Noodle was stumbling and at times unable or unwilling to jump up on the coach. He also wasn't very interested in fetching sticks. He would chase them down, and then leave them. I will miss Noodle.

I woke this morning to hear that George Carlin had died. Here is a man who has swore continually in public, smoked pot, took drugs, and bashed people who believed in God. I wonder how well George's comedy routine is doing today.

Update and other garbage
Another week is winding down and everything seams peaceful. I was sitting back thinking how bad things are (unemployment, gas prices, reccession etc...) Everyone is having it bad, and that tends to get everyone a little pissy. Here I am, on disability, my wife is unable to work, my daughter and her boyfriend live with us, my youngest daughter, and one foster child live with us. We also have 3 cats and two dogs. My daughter and her boyfriend are getting married this September, and my son and his wife are getting remarried to eachother in October. Life is wonderful. The house is full of laughter, and at time anger, but it is seldom quiet. Something is alway happening. Everyday there is new challenges and adventures. Who needs soap operas. The next time is hear someone say that they are bored, come on down. We have lots of work, plenty of stories, and the coffee is always on.
