I didn't get to go on that trip with my grandma after all. But my cousin is here now. She came over yesterday and we called my friend Tyler, who she met last summer, and he came over for awhile. My other cousin (lives in town) cam over far a while, too.

 My dog died this morning! We found him dead in the school room. My mom called my dad's work and they let him come home early. My brother was the one that found him. He didn't realize that he was dead though, out first. He came to me and told me that the dog had blood around his mouth (yucky!). I went to look, and he was dead. It was freeky. His name was Merlin. He was about 10 yrs old so I guess he just had a stroke or something. My dad buried him outside. It's really sad. Our other dog came with us when we went to get milk today. She'll probably be coming with us a lot now that Merlin is gone.

 On the bright side, our baby chickens are doing well. They are really cute.

More later....
