We all love our dogs, but only a 13 year old would think of finding one a date. Jaron and I were walking our dog a few blocks away the other night. A truck pulled into the driveway of the house in front of us. A man and his 3 year old son got out. The 3-year-old ran toward us insisting we were returning his dog. The man picked up his son and told him that their dog was in the house. The man started asking questions about the dog, which Jaron proceeded to answer. Being as both dogs were German Shepherds, and both were papered, Jaron decided they needed a date. Jaron went home to his dad that night after the walk and said, "Guess what Dad, I just got Gandolff 'hooked up'. " Out of the mouth of a teenager! I wonder if the dog wanted to be hooked up?
Which leads me to the next story. Saturday we were doing errands and planning on spending the afternoon in the pool. Jaron called the neighbor to see if "Amber" (his dog) could come over and entertain Gandolff. Now before you get the wrong idea, Jaron does have an alterior motive. If two dogs play they get lots of exercise, hence, he doesn't have to walk the dog. That afternoon we entertained Amber which was a fun experience. Gandolff is a water dog, he loves the pool. If we are in the pool he wants to be in the pool. Amber is not so sure about the water part but loves to play in the fountain (go figure!). As we were all in the pool, Gandolff was more interested in us than in Amber. She didn't like being ignored and followed him everywhere he went. You know, the come-here, come-here, come-here, NO, get-away, get-away, get-away game. Talk about entertaining. And as suspected! After 4 hours of this, both dogs were "dog tired!" lol
We took the boys wakeboarding this weekend. In Arizona you can't beat the heat so you hit the water, any water! We go to the nearest lake which happens to be a beautiful reservoir of stone cliffs filled with water. Perched precariously on the cliffs are barrel cactus, sequoia cactus, and sage. The boys have decided to take up wakeboarding. That are actually doing really good considering Jay and I can't teach them to do something we don't do ourselves. Both boys can now get up on the boards but staying up is a different story. We took our friends, Doug and Emily with us this weekend. Doug likes to hot dog on the wakeboard, and considering he just started the last time we went, he is quite good. Me, I just jump in when I get hot, or get pushed in if a male member of my family is within reach.
For members of my family reading this, I am sorry to stay Jaron's school picture day was Friday. Jaron likes to play with his hair color, it goes from dark, to blonde, to pink, to two-tone. Well, for picture day he went back to his nature brown. He looks good as a brunette with his dark tan, and deep brown eyes. But getting back to the subject at hand, I am afraid you will have to keep the school pictures of Jaron you have from last year! He forgot to pay the money to the photographer (it was in his pocket) when his picture was taken. So alas, no pictures this year! hee hee hee
