Moka

Moka was quite the surprise to most of our family.  Bree took some of her graduation money and bought a puppy.  At the time we thought her boyfriend at the time bought him.  Then we found out that they split the cost.  THEN we found out that Moka belonged to her only.  Of course that was after Moka had been living at our house exclusively.  He was supposed to live at Jordan's, we were told.  He was the cutest and most fun puppy ever.  He was six weeks old and weighed around 7 pounds.  Now he will be four in April and weighs 95 pounds which is huge for a lab. He has a gorgeous face.  He could be on the cover of a doggy magazine.  He loves everyone and is just a big baby. He has no idea how big he is though he is gentle with Leia.  They play tug of war and he has just lifted the rope up and carried her across the room, dangling from the end.  The best thing about Moka is that he is so loving and important to Bree, who is his little (real?) mama.  Moka adores her and he knows when it's her coming through the front door.  If Bree is gone then he is my boy.  When Bree is home he'll hardly have anything to do with me.  


Everything is planned and ready for the last seven days of school before Christmas break. I love staying in my classroom late.  It's kinda me time as weird as that sounds.  Our day went much better than yesterday. I called some parents tonight so I am hoping that tomorrow will be even better.  I am taking a half-day in the afternoon so I can attend Bree's family therapy.  Crossing my fingers that Mr. Fish will be healthy!  He had to cancel on me last time.  The kids were really disappointed.  Only nine more days of school!  YAY!
