where did august go?
Wow last night is the firsts night i really noticed how dark it is getting much earlier. goes to figure that i was caught off guard that labor day is this weekend.
But, alas, time marches on.
Now that the Olympics are over all that is on tv is the conventions, talk about the conventions or annoying political ads. I like how the road to the white house isn't paved with good ideas or past deeds, but with sleazy ads and low shots.
Ok well it is early right now so i think i will return to trying to keep the dog quite before she wakes Bill

end of summer
wow that went by fast, but the kiddies start school tomorrow in my town which to me means the end of summer.
after a week of catch up i finally feel ok at work (you always play catch up proportional to the vacation time taken). and this week i am finally cleaning up and digging out from all of the quarter end stuff.
on other notes... i have been able to harvest a few tomatoes and more peppers and broccoli this week, so we are back to the pepper in everything diet

Tonight was Winnie's graduation, and she did great! she passed all her "finals":
1.walking around cones with treats on top of them
2.sitting and staying next to said cones
3.sitting, staying and finally running through said cones only to come and sit in front of me and then run around me and "finish" sitting at my side.
4.She was taken out into the store to the back aisle Bill lined her up next to all the dogs and she was told to sit and stay and then Bill, with all of the owners, walked away and into the next aisle.
Every time Winnie did wonderful and we were both so proud, especially after how disappointing ending the puppy class was (she had regressed and wouldn't sit or stay at all.) The next level is the advanced class which tests for the Canine Good Citizenship (an accreditation from the ACS and a must for any volunteer/therapy). Most of the dog that pass that at about 1.5, and Winnie won't turn one until late October, so we might repeat the intermediate class in the meantime.

its a good thing this happens every 4 years
because after another night of staying up through the end I am starting to feel like i have been competing too.
outside of watching the Olympics this week has just been about getting work and life into routine after being gone. Winnie had her second to last intermediate class on Tuesday which mean another graduation for her next week. she has learned more but still has bananas in her ears when she gets outside.
thats about it for now.
