So... my dog cries at night. I'd think this normal for a puppy. When they have to pee they cry to let you know and then you can let them out, right? Right. No. Not my puppy. My puppy wants to play! It's my own fault. Since we're crate training he sleeps all morning until the kids get home. They take him outside and play all afternoon so by seven he's exhausted. We go to bed around eleven or so... yeah. So he sleeps until about one or two. Mike has been so incredibly tolerant, too. It's so funny to see him deny how much he loves this dog while he has a big grin on his face every time he looks at Pagan.

Yesterday I took Pagan to visit my sister and my niece. They're doing so great! Hannah got all of her hair cut off and now she looks like a pixie with her big, green eyes and her stick-out-a-little-too-far ears. Megan is doing well, too. She's dating this guy that makes Michael seem like a saint when it comes to ornery, which is awesome. Just what she needs. He's got three kids, too, and they're all little hellions. Cute, sweet hellions... but still. Anyway, my dog LOVED Fiona (her dog) and started rolling all around and jumping back and forth. It was so cute. Unfortunately, though, 'Ona thought that Pagan was one of her chew toys and after being all sniffy for awhile tried to eat him. *sighs* Poor Pagan just wasn't the same after. His poor tail was stuck in down mode.

I haven't posted a lot about the kids lately. Matt and Zach both have love interests now. Sorta. Zach is all bothered over this girl named Iris. He's going to, supposedly, ask her to the barn dance on Friday. Cuteness. Matt got all flipped out over a girl while he was at his eighth grade team building excursion at Sylvan Lake. Her name is Catherine and she played with his hair. How awesome is that?? He said he completely freaked out because no other girl had ever touched his hair but me. Boys going in to puberty are hilarious. Ian is Ian. He's crazy. I found out that Megan has known his teacher for a couple of years. Small world... well, small town, anyway. I love it!!
