It seems impossible that June is almost halfway over. We wait and wait for summer to arrive and it goes by so fast that we barely have time to enjoy the warm sunshine. The girls will be spending a lot of quality time with Daddy this summer as his work schedule is flexible enough to not require day care. There are days that I wish that the tables were turned and I had the flexible schedule. Then there are days that the girls are acting like sisters and cannot stand to be around each other. Those are the days I happily skip off to work or class.

Here's hoping that the summer slows down a little and that we all have time to enjoy our friends and families, bbqs, smores, guacamole and salsa dinners, fireworks, cold beer, parades, fireflies, sun tea, garden fresh tomatoes, sweet corn, homemade ice cream, and picnics.

Rommel update

Here is a list of non-dog food items the 95 pound pup has eaten in the past 4 months or so. Rommel is quite adept at tearing open ziplocs, plastic sacks and tupperwear-style containers. The vet is convinced he's part German Shepard, based on his coloring, long nose and apparently he doesn't walk like a Lab. He's 47 inches long from the tip of his nose to the base of his tail and will be 1 at the end of July.


tomato
package of hot dog buns, minus the plastic
flarp -- pink stuff found in the Target dollar bins, minus the container
6 chocolate chip cookies
4 blueberry muffins, minus the ziploc
3 raw marinating pork chops
carpet - just a couple inches worth
2 pair of underwear, one at a time
protective cover from a wii remote


Here are a couple pictures of the big lug. Notice how he likes to hang out near the spot where he tore up the carpet.
