Cooper Family

Little Sister had a flat tire last night. There was no spare to be found (stolen? Never there to begin with? Who knows!) so Matt had to take the tire off the truck and have it repaired. So glad that happened in a nice, quiet neighborhood instead on a busy road.

School went well. My kids were much better today. I know they are excited about the field trip tomorrow. I am nervous as I always am with field trips. Hopefully it'll be a nice day and we'll be able to go to the park for the picnic as planned. We're all wearing our green second grade shirts. I'll try to get some pictures (for the school blog.)

My next furry baby is Blizzard. He is six years old and is a frisbee fiend. He would fetch all day if he could get someone to throw it all day. We stopped playing this summer because he had a hurt toe and didn't know when to stop. We'd think it was healed then it would open up and bleed again. Blizz was one of our spur of the minute dogs. We woke up one morning and thought that we wanted one of our friends' sheltie pups. When we found out how much they cost we thought we'd see if we could find a blue merle instead. Blizz was the only one we found and he was in Frisco. He was an awesome splurge purchase though and we haven't regretted getting him. He's a tad bit on the strange side. For one thing his eyes are each a different shade of blue/hazel and when he looks at you, his eyes make him look feral. He just has a wild look to him. He is snuggly and a sweetheart to us and also when he is home. If he's out of his territory he is nervous and cautious. He's getting out of that a little bit since Matt likes to take him for walks. He enjoyed swimming in our pool this summer. I loved it and it was better for his toe. He is ALL indoor dog unless a human family member is outside with him, which is pretty funny when you see how athletic he is. Keri claims him as HERS but I say NOT. He's MINE! LOL Sweet boy!
