Since the last post we have been back up to LaConner to go crab hunting on the beach with Nana and Papa, then this past weekend we headed up to the Bellingham area to attend a Jack Russell Terrier trial.  You can only imagine 100s of JRTs in one place, racing, barking, jumping obstacles, barking, getting ribbons for being cute, barking…you get the picture.  We took Solo along to see her brothers and sisters and to get her “hair done”.  She has much more of a rough coat then Sheridan and apparently the little mohawk of white hair on the top of her head and the shaggy state of the rest of her coat is not acceptable.  We did get points from the breeder for her weight though, but her coat was a different story.  After Lynn and her daughter got done with Solo, I’m pretty sure they took a pound of hair off of her and she is only 11 1/2 lbs. so you can imagine.  Of course the girls insisted on keeping the fur and mom was responsible for it.  She put it in a plastic bag and then all of a sudden she looked down and the fur was gone.  It had fallen out of the bag onto the ground while we were walking to the car.  Mom looked around and saw something that looked like a white rabbit…aka…the fur… in the middle of the dirt road, ran back and picked it up.  It was the funniest thing I have ever seen!  The girls also got to see and hold little JRT puppies.  Luckily Jeff and I were strong and only came back home with Solo, enough for us right now.  Although now Sarah Jo is picking up poop as her chore and mommy is LOVIN’ it….just sayin’!  Who knows, one day a puppy might be in our future!

The girls went to the dentist today and both did great.  All looks good on the chopper front.  Jeff just informed me there are about 3 more weeks before school starts.  I’m ready and I’m not.  It will be SO WEIRD not to have a little person by my side like I have had for the past 7 years.  It will be sad, but I know that Samantha is going to LOVE school as soon she settles in to her new routine, but I will miss my girlies!  Thank goodness for Solo!

Off to fill out more school paperwork, it seems to get longer each year.

Oh and sissy…VIVA LAS VEGAS…can’t wait!
