Hello again

So, I’ve been waiting to write until I had some pictures of stuff to share, but I keep waiting to take pictures until I make one more necklace, or finish one more project, blah blah blah.  Instead of waiting on all that, I figure I’ll just write.  Possibly every day.  About the random excitement that surrounds me every day.  Enjoy!

In one recent event, my super smart Australian Cattle Dog Tillie is actually good for something now, other than piling toys on my dad’s lap and warming up my feet.  She has learned to fetch the newspaper!  Tina actually trained her to do it, using some tips from Dewey Smith, one of my facebook (and high school) friends.  His dog can fetch the paper too!  The problem with this, though, is that Tillie seems to be scared of the rain, and of the plastic bags they put the paper in when it rains.  She’s very happy to go get it when it’s nice out, but not when it’s rainy and the people don’t want to go outside.  So, she’s still working on her usefulness.  Grover, on the other hand, is perfectly happy to go out and run around in the rain, but doesn’t fetch the paper – he does need to make sure that all his neighbor dogs know that the stop sign is HIS territory.  Goofy kids.
