*Bilko had his first day all by himself. I think he did okay, but we noticed later in the evening he had a bit of an upset tummy. I think a little anxiety. Poor guy! He's NEVER been all alone all day.In 10yrs! Herb and Janet are with Christy who is house sitting for the weekend. So it will be a quiet weekend. We still struggle with the loss of Buster from time to time. Last night even us being here alone was quiet. Usually we hear Buster snoring loudly or licking water like he's drinking the ocean. We miss him a lot!

* Herbs vaccum will stay on his foot another week. Which is good. It's healing very well and they don't want to have to put a pig skin patch on it. So they want it to heal naturally which it looks like it is doing that.

* I really really want warm weather!

*work is the same for both of us. Carl is a little busy with his new desk They rotate desks everyyear. Someone gets the state bar, some one gets the death penalty desk, someone gets the agenda desk (where Carl was before, he sets the cases and the schedules for the judges, I think that's an easy way to sum it up!) now he's on the Rules desk. He likes it so far.It's the same office and people, just switch duties.

* I am really really heart sick that Romney dropped out of the Presidential race. Even though I understand where he is coming from. I appreciate that he sees the big picture in the war on terror and it means beating Hilary. But I still think he dropped WAY to early.

* I unfortunatley missed Pres. Hinckleys funeral. I had to work last week. I was really sad. I still remember him standing in the hallway at a church in our mission and shaking all the missionaries hands and then speaking to us that evening. Being in the same room with him and feeling that incredibly strong spirit is something I'll never forget! He will be dearly missed.

* We are still on the hunt for a new a puppy. We came really close to getting a Scottish Terrier. A breed we hadn't even considered. One of Carl's cousins had a co-worker that was looking to get rid of a puppy. But when they called back to tell her we wanted it, they had found a home for it. So the hunt continues. We are still keeping our options very open, but leaning more to the Lab or the 13" Beagle. I happen to be watching the Dog show on Animal Planet this week and OH MY GOSH! Just google the 13" Beagle! Cutest thing you've ever seen!!
