my apologies!

I totally forgot to post over this last week (thank-you Kim for reminding me in your email!)! It has been a pretty uneventful week anyways. Just lots of work at school, and then back at home as well. On friday I had my first placement day in a highschool. I am at Sir John A Macdonald in Waterloo. It was amazing! I will be teaching grade 11 and 12 biology after thanksgiving. We are at the school for 3 straight weeks. I am very excited about it.

Next week is one of my 'killer' weeks. I don't find teacher's college to be really hard work...just a lot of work, and a ton of reading. You really have to keep up on the readings or else you would just get so far behind in class!

All of this rain is just driving me nuts. This has to be the rainiest fall ever! Oh mister sun, sun, mister golden sun, please shine down on me!! And by me, I mean...dry up my muddy backyard!

All of our dogs are pretty much groomed down now. Maggie was scissor trimmed, Missy is still growing out from the summer, Mona had her body shaved, head all trimmed up, Mackenzie had a shave over a month ago now so she is looking less and less bald everyday. Lola was done 2 weeks ago now. She had her body shaved, and thanks to Macie's insane ear grabbing, I did her ears as well. It will all grow back. Right now it just means that everyone takes a much shorter time to dry off!

Macie is growing more and more everyday. She is a tyrant that is for sure! She has mastered jumping onto the couch, and she can jump onto our bed now too, which is double the height for sure. Of course, with her ADD she doesn't stay in one spot for very long. There is always something new that she can rip up or a pair of shoes that she can bring to me.

On saturday night Lola had a case of "the grass is greener on the other side". I was inside reading and had just let the dogs out for a pee and didn't feel like walking out there with them right then. They always get into trouble when you're least expecting it. I wanted to finish my chapter! Not even 5 minutes later I walk outside and the dogs are all standing at the back fence...but one dog doesn't look like she is on the proper side! Lola had dug a little hole and was running around in the neighbors garden (which is thankfully all tilled up for the year). They weren't home then and I couldn't get her back through her hole. Jake was out for a run and I couldn't hop the fence very well...and god forbid I get stuck in someone else's yard! So I called Tyler and Jess and they came right over. Tyler just hopped right over and passed Lola to me. The people weren't home and no one else noticed. Our little secret I guess!
