Somewhat Silent Summer
Thursday, May 10, 2012 at 7:12PM Mom leaves tomorrow for her summer job in Texas. She will be gone for almost eleven weeks. We will be living with Dad. While Dad plans to try to take lots of pictures of us over the summer, we might not blog too much. We hope to at least post on Fridays each week.
Mom is very worried that we will forget her while she is gone. How could we forget her? She's our favorite mom. Here we are saying good bye to her after she left us at Dad and Wilbur's house today.
While it's no fun to be away from Mom all summer, it just puts us one more step closer to the end of law school and the end of our family having to live in separate locations, so that is definitely a great thing!

Bark for your Heart
Sunday, May 6, 2012 at 12:39PM This morning we ran the Bark for your Heart 5K here in town. It was really fun, but we always enjoy opportunities to run.
We had a girls team.
And a boys team.
We started at the back of the race because Mom and Dad didn't want us to get too crowded by other dogs near the starting line. As soon as the race people said, "On your mark, get set, GO!" we really went. Mom and I took the outside and passed people and Dad and Steve wandered through the middle to pass people. Eventually we separated ourselves from the pack and settled in to run together. (Excuse the blurry picture. It's hard to run and photograph at the same time.)
As we approached the finish line, Mom and I decided that girls rule and boys drool so we kicked it into high gear and passed some more people on our way to the finish line. We must have motivated Dad and Steve too because they finished after us, but no one finished between. I was the 3rd place dog finisher and Steve was the 4th place dog finisher!
Next time we need to kick it up even more because during the awards ceremony, the first place dog was awarded a year supply of dog food! That is a pretty great prize.
I did get a prize I really like. Petsmart gave me a ball. I really enjoyed playing with it in the parking lot!
Well, that's our race in review. I need to go take a nap now and rest.
