It's a dog eat dog world.

Tomorrow we leave for our trip to Branson, Missouri. The girls have been packed for over a week. I worked the last four days so I could have a week off and not have to use vacation time. Of course, yesterday afternoon I started getting a real scratchy throat and before the day was over, I had almost lost my voice. This morning I have barely been able to talk above a whisper. While I don't really want to load up a van full of things to take and the kids, I really DON'T want to tell them that we are canceling our plans. I will pull up my boot straps and do my best.

Kendalan and Pugston have built a pretty strong bond. She would pick on him all day long while her sisters were at school. Well, she did pick on the cats too! I think all this activity keeping the critters in line wears a girl out!

Pugston has come a long way from when he first arrived at our home. We gave him all we could and tried as hard as we could, but we were one day of taking him on to a new home when an ice storm struck. Pugston was reprieved and he made the most of it!! I have to say that he is turning into a pretty good member of the family. Now if we could just get him to stop eating toys that the girls leave on the floor!
