forgotten little girl

doggone

it seems that our dog delima is no more. it appears our neighbor has tied the guy up as we have not see him in two days. just as things seemed to get bad, they didn't. hmmm.....

back!

well i was never really gone, but.....work is happening right now and i just don't have the time to post much info.

it seems that we have a bit of a dilemma in the hood. our neighbors have decided to keep a stray lab like dog. that in itself is not a bad thing, but the dog is aggressive towards them, us and our pets as well. they also feel they can't afford to neuter or get shots for the dog. now it's a problem. yesterday he attacked my little lhasa and almost bit my step daughter as she was trying to pull him off the little guy. My wife talked to our neighbor and he just blew it of like the dog was playing. sounds like we have an issue now. need to try and resolve this without creating an enemy across the way. since our neighbor is not intelligent enough to realize his "new" pet is a problem to others, then maybe i need to deal with the pet. try to deterr the dog from coming over to our house and peeing on our porches and attacking our dogs and growling at us. i do the dog is not all there. maybe that is why our neighbor likes him. two of a kind.

school around the corner

every year school starts sooner and then they get out around the same time they have always gotten out. with all these extra days of school, what are they learning above and beyond what they were learning a few years ago? test scores continue to be low, so one can assume more school days is not the answer. tho who am i? just your average every day dad with three kids in school. i know nothing.

shopping this weekend for school supplies was horrendous! schools want them to bring so much to class every year and they use maybe half if that much. this year we are playing it a little safer. only buying what we think they will need and then wing it for the rest. save a little money and not waste a bunch of paper and odd things supposedly required.

todd and i were going to go kayaking this weekend up clouds creek and back, but it rained all day sunday. needless to say we couldn't go. have to try again next time we have a free weekend. i was really looking forward to paddling a little as i have only been once in the lake.
