| Tucker eating his Happy Graduation strawberry ice cream! |
It's been a wild ride! The past six months have been crazy. There's lots happening in my family. We never found a suitable home for Tucker. Guess he's ours. He is a good boy except he is unpredictable with other dogs. He's never hurt anyone but he is a little scary with his barking and lunging, thankfully always on a leash. I took him to dog obedience class and he did well. He is very smart. He remembers tricks and commands with little practicing. We always had to be on guard with other dogs though. He is awful with Moka. :( Moka, on the other hand, is perfect. More news on him later.
I am so happy that school is finally out and I have some time off. Bree is working at a hair salon here in town and that is nice. I will get to have lunch with her and see her whenever she has time. Traci is home from Baylor for the summer. She isn't working, just picking

up babysitting and odd jobs to make a little money. She wants to be free to do whatever she wants, the slob. She is the best, though and I'll never complain about her! I am proud of all of my girls for different reasons and in different ways but at this point in Traci's life, I could not be prouder.
Keri has changed her mind about going on a mission for now. She met a boy. He is a very nice boy and we like him a lot. Keri is still working at the doggie day care for the summer. She says she is going to go to UVU (in Utah) in the Fall. I want her to go live amongst more LDS and I want her to get more active and have a wonderful life. There's so many things that I would change in my life if I could. I don't want my baby to leave me though! What will I do without my Keri Berri?! It also occurred to me that I won't be able to go out there and help her move in because school will have started. It's not like I could just take a day or two off... I realized yesterday that she will be leaving me in a couple of months. Traci will start grad school (cross your fingers!) in January and won't be home next summer which probably means she'll never really "live" here after thsi summer. What am I going to do with my life? I need a hobby!
Bree took Matt and me to the Rangers game for Mother's Day. She said she doesn't have any money left to get her dad a Father's Day gift so the Rangers game will have to be his gift too. We all got a few things for him that I know he will like. He is such a good dad and husband. He deserves the world. He spent all week in Oklahoma for girls camp, helping out with the cooking, setting things up, cleaning up, canoeing, etc. What a guy!
I don't know why sometimes I can get it to type on the side of a picture and sometimes I can't.
Ah, Edith! My sweetest friend, I love you so much! Bree and I went to San Antonio to visit her over Spring Break. Edith is not doing well with her cancer and I wanted to make sure I saw her at least one more time. Her daughter Ashley and Edith, Bree and I spent the day on the River Walk. I am still embarrassed a bit about the amount of money Edith spent on us. She wouldn't let us pay for a thing. I'll have to post more pictures later. Love my Edith!
Moka is amazing! He graduated from his beginning obedience class with Tucker. We actually took them to the same class to see if the teacher could help us with Tucker's aggression toward Moka. There were three other doggies in the class so we didn't get that personal attention. I think I am going to take Tucker to the trainer at PetCo. I think she is more of a behaviorist and that's what I need for Tucker. Oh yeah, but this is about Moka! He passed his AKC' Good Canine Citizen test! Now he can be a therapy dog or do volunteer work at a hospital or something really cool like that.
The one thing he did not like was this graduation hat. Silly boy! I just love that dog. He means so much to Bree that it's not funny. He is now six years old and I guess that's fairly old for a lab. You can see his gray chin in the picture. Baby boy! Bree has done such a good job with him. He's been amazing since he was a baby, never too wild. I miss him living here. If it weren't for Tucker being a pain in the bootie with him I'd be wanting Bree to bring him over here while she works. We have to keep the two totally separated. Tucker knows that Moka is afraid of him so it makes him even worse.
Well Mark invited us to go to lunch for Father's Day. We are meeting him in just a little while.
I hope I update this more often!
