Time Flies When You Have a Dog

I was going to write a depressing entry about how my dad sucks on Father's Day then I decided against it. Mainly because it kind of depressed me and because I'm pretty sure you guys realize how much I dislike my father without another blog all about him.

N.O.G. will be visiting me at the end of this month. I'm so excited! I've been trying to think of things to do but I realized the other day that I will be beyond broke, which isn't abnormal but this go round I'm seriously broke. So, I'm not sure what we will do besides hide out in a dark room to keep from melting.

School is actually going well. I made a B in Spanish I and so far I've got an A in my Native American Cultures class. I started Spanish II Tuesday night. The instructor is an interesting man from the Dominican Republic. I hope to make a B in this class.

Jack is doing fabulous. Other than the fact that he hates for me to be out of his sight. He doesn't like for me to shut the bathroom door unless he is in the bathroom with me. At first I thought that it was because his food is in there. But when I moved his food he continued to be upset if we were separated. Not sure if its because he is a rescue or if I've just spoiled him. Most likely because I have spoiled him.

He watches me take a bath. Most times he sleeps but sometimes he just stands there and stares at my face. He also figured out how mirrors work so he will watch me through the mirror. That is kind of creepy.

He also found his bark. Before he would only bark at me if he wanted something. But now he barks just because he can. I had to finish my anthro midterm last Sunday and he was not happy that I was busy not playing with him. 

                                     

He will know bark for anything. The other day I was home in the afternoon and started watching The Haunted on Animal Planet. It's a show about a house or place that is haunted and how animals can sense when something isn't right. I hate/love shows like that. Whenever the music starts getting intense I change the channel because I'm freaking out but I want to see what happens so I turn it back quickly. Well, in the middle of the show when it was getting pretty intense Jack starts barking like crazy and looking out the back door. I thought my heart stopped for a minute. It took me five minutes to figure out that he could see the neighbors doing yard work. I wanted to kill him for the mini heart attack.

He is also becoming a giant. I was seriously concerned that he might be mixed with a Great Dane because he just keeps getting taller. But the other day we were at the dog park and a Dane was there. Jack looks nothing like he did so I feel a little better. I met a girl there that told me that her vet said to double the weight they are at four months and that is roughly their weight at full maturity. Jack was about 35 or 40 pounds so I'm guessing he will be between 60 to 80 pounds. (!!!!) Here is a picture of him with his favorite toy, Greenie McGreenerstern.

My parents bought a beautiful house on the lake. A few weekends ago all of my siblings and I were able to visit. It's the first time we have all been together in a long time. Everyone is doing well and looking fabulous. Attention Hog got this fabulous picture of The Kid and Coach! I'm so happy to call them mine!

Have a great summer!
