Hello my fav—

My feet are all swollen up today; it is making my shoes all tight. I got these new shoes the other day and they don’t have any laces. So I can’t control how loose or tight they are. When it gets warm my feet swell if I got to be on them a lot. I got 2 letters from you yesterday. It was nice. I do try to write everyday. Sometimes on the weekend I may just compile my letter. I think that you writing everyday helps you pass the time faster and also allows you to complain about stuff that’s bugging you. I finished up in the “dog” room last night and Mike helped me put all the crates in there. I want to make some new curtains. I’ll have to decide between camo or a dog print. I’m leaning towards camo. I asked Fritz but he thinks both are cool. Emma and Dutch are going to the Vet today to get their Rabies and Microchips. Next to go is Sadie. I have a feeling that that visit will be expensive. I filled the pool back up today. So tomorrow the cover can go back on. I’m glad summer is about finished. Too much extra work and too hot. I like fall and spring much better. Shirley’s ongoing custody thing with Paul is finally done. She won; Paul is stupid and should have just left it alone. Now he may end up having to pay more child support. This is basically what he was trying to get out of and receive from Shirley. Idiot. He didn’t even show up at court. I finally got down working in EE108 it was pretty bad with a lo of stuff for me to do. I got through the next one pretty fast, but I’m still about a day behind. Everything is all rush rush, hopefully tomorrow I can get somewhere. I got a call this morning from the people from Spokane. I guess their puppy was having diarrhea this morning and didn’t sleep very well. I told her to keep an eye on him and if it continued to take him to the vet. So she called me later and said that they took him in and he was pretty dehydrated and the tested him for parvo and he doesn’t have parvo. Thank goodness for that. They are treating him for a virus, She is going to call me back tomorrow. I don’t know. The puppies here are all doing okay. Maybe it was the long trip home, stressed him out and made him weak so it was easier to get sick. I DK. It makes my feel tired just thinking about having sick puppies. Sometimes I wonder how we got through our first litter with no problems. I just got done watching Dave Chappel and now South Park is on and tweak is freaking out about how unsafe kids are. I have NO internet connection *sigh*. No letter today. L I get one tomorrow. J yeah! I went down stairs a bit a go and found the kitchen all flooded. The rats hae chewed a hole in the drain line from the dishwasher. So now mike is down there washing dishes by hand. The Vet really liked Emma and Dutch. She kinda want a puppy, but they usually adopt rescue dogs. I made an appointment for Sadie to get her rabies and ears checked out. I’m going to keep seeing this Vet, her name is Krys (Chris) Lovan. I told her about Sadie and how she reacts to men and stuff. So I will let you know how that goes. I love you and miss you. You and Smith had better take care.

Love Mom
