Yes, I know.... I'm a terrible Blogger....

It's been two months since my last post......... I'm not that good at blogging........ :P

So anyway, nothing much has been going on lately. Meade and I went to Idaho to do a presentation for some cub scouts. That was ok. I guess. They were very quiet and I was didn't know if they were listening or not....

Another thing is I'm going to Kansas next month for my cousin's graduation and she just happens to live in Washington so when I'm there I'm gonna try to visit KSDS. I'm excited!

IWYPRSD

Today is IWYPRSD! It is my second one! The first one I didn't have a shirt, but this year I do! Over the summer I bought one from Mimi. I have been waiting for this day for a long time but........

I forgot my shirt at my dad's house last weekend!!! >:(

Happy Birthday to Meade!

:D Yup! Today is Meade's first birthday! He is now one year old! He also weighs 62.5 pounds!!!! He has been living with me for the past ten months! Wow..... time flies

Meade + Chocolate = Uh-oh!!!

The other day I was trying to get a good picture of Meade for my digital photo class..............

No, I didn't Photoshop them! (I wish my Photoshop skills were that good....... I can barely put David Archuleta's head on someone else and make it look good.) This is what my camera took and it looks like Meade is a genuine Chocolate Lab. If you have any clue why this happened could you please tell me? I'm very confused. Also, how do I submit pictures for GDB's Calendar? Thanks

Bye-Bye Patch!

Today I received and email from Guide Dogs saying that the Science Diet patches had to be removed! So I jumped on it and it is now GONE!!! =D

Now what do I do with the patch?

Service Animal Restrictions

I just got done reading Mandy's blog post about service animals. I thought it was a really good post and all her links were awesome! Now I am here to give my thoughts about service animals.

Firstly, I think psychiatric service animals are wonderful, to an extent. People feel the need to abuse service animals. For example, (this is a totally hypothetical thought) say someone with OCD went and got themselves an animal and trained it to calm them when they see some disorder, that is just not right.

Secondly, I think that all service animals should come from a legit service animal organization. If someone rescues an animal from the shelter and observes that the animal needs something to do with it's life they should make a job for them at home. You could have them fetch the newspaper, or pick up your baby's toys (for a nice cleaning) or you could even train them to turn on your electronic devices!

Thirdly, service animals should be a domesticated species. Dogs and mini horses fall into this category. I don't believe that monkeys should be used. I don't even think that monkeys should be kept as pets. And nobody had better play the "We evolved from monkeys". The fact is, we didn't! Genesis 1:26 and Genesis 2:7 should sum that up.

Fourthly, I think the U.S. Government should keep a record of all service animals. That should make rules and regulations that are consistent for the whole country. Shouldn't the government take care of it's people that are paying taxes to them? Even the disabled ones.

If you did read that whole thing I hope it didn't offend you in any way or for any reason. If it did I am turning on comment moderation and we can talk it out through email. I doubt it should but you never know.................

By the way, I am Christian. I do live in Utah but I am not LDS. Crazy, huh?

School, Snow, Christmas.........

Hello again! Where have I been? Oh, no where but home. Procrastinating a blog post.... eating some chocolate oranges.... watching Phineas and Ferb (I just downloaded the music from the series! :D). So yah! I'm back! Now for the bad news. Oh, you didn't know there was bad news? Well, sucks for you. The bad news is: this post won't have pictures!!!!! :'(

Ok, so firstly, the topic you all have been waiting for *drum roll* SCHOOL!!!!!! So here's the 411, the dealy-o, the low down. I put up that one little poster in the drama room. Then I realized that the drama room is in the reject corner. :P So it did no good. So days went by and more people kept touching him. He pooped in the hall once (Having a TEACHER inform you of that splendid tidbit is very embarrassing). So I finally realized I have had the absolute

wrong attitude about taking Meade to school. Everyday I was dreading people petting him without asking and everyday that would happen. So now I will look forward to people asking to pet him. With my new attitude there are only positive things and no negative things! A positive thought is hundreds of times more powerful then a negative thought. So when I go back to school this wonderful thought will be running through my head and EVERYTHING will go amazing! (Is that proper grammar?)

Secondly, SNOW!!!!! We finally got a perma-winter-snow (snow that lasts until spring). Turns out that Meado is afraid of snow. Ok, I should rephrase that. Meade doesn't like snow. It is a big pain when I am trying to relieve him in my PJ's. I have turned to throwing him in the snow and telling him DYB. Throwing him has been getting harder because he is weighing in at about 60 pounds now and is 10 1/2 months old!!

Thirdly, Christmas! Meade got a lovely Jolly Ball! Nearly killed us with it and we have determined it is an outside toy. He also got a new Nylabone and a new sterilized bone. Guess which is his favorite! Yup, the el cheapo sterilized bone. But it kept him busy while my family and I opened presents. What did I get? Oh, just a bunch of iTunes gift cards...... a laptop (:O).... and a SUPER COMPLETELY AWESOME LEASH! It is green just like GDB's jackets and it is the same leather style as GDB's leashes. It even has Meade's name printed on it! Now, I know I said no pictures but I just uploaded this from my cellular.

And where, might you ask, did my wonderful parents find such an awesome gift? Well, Let's just say she has one herself and you can see snippets of it here, she even hand made it.

And now, I shall leave you with this! Good night!
