Girlie Girl is Back

With much sadness on everyone's part........ the home for Duffy didn't work out..... through no fault of her adoptive "parents".......(and through no fault of Duffy's)..... it just didn't work out....
SOOOO......... dang!!! Here we are......... a three dog family again!! Ben and I were both a tad sad when she went the first time but in our talking about that .........it became obvious that when she had to come back ---- she had to come HOME (w/ US!). Ben and I decided a long time ago that we really were NOT a "three dog family". Things just moved a lot smoother, it seemed, when we just had two..... that was a good number for us. But, we are all learning to adapt in our own ways to new routines and new rules and learning to enjoy and respect each other. Poor Shoe......... she just originally thought Duffy was an annoyance..... then she finally figured out that she was here to stay........and now they are best friends. TailR, (whose ONLY world has always been ME,ME,ME) is still a bit confused on what this beast's purpose REALLY is but he, too, is learning that we can all be kissing cousins!! :)

Yea!!!

Well, congratulations are in order for several folks here. First off, Joe got his Eagle Scout award…….. Secondly, Kristin persevered and actually pulled off completing the Triathlon, (whew!!)………. & Doug finished second, I believe, in some pretty intense Tennis matches at the Cornhusker State Games!! YEAS!!!! Also, I’m happy to say that Doug has moved into the “pool position” (yes, that’s POOL position, not POLE position) to do some of our assisted swimming activities. Also, Tammy & Chevy have both been promoted to newly created positions of Training & Quality Assurance/Control officers. Best wishes to all!!!
