May. 1, 2006 - Going to the Dogs!
Today has just been a "Dear Lord, Why?"
kind of day--especially this evening. I can't even explain it--it was
so bad. My mom managed to shanghai my day yet again with her dog
problems. Sigh. I am now officially anti-dog. I am tired of the
neighbor's Jack Russell Terror constantly barking and running out into
the road. I am tired of going for a bike ride and having somebody's
dumb dog chase me for several blocks--teeth-bared .
I kid you
not, early one Sunday morning, I decided to follow my Dh's bike route
for a change of pace, and was nearly attacked by a dog. I peddled so
fast that my gears were practically smoking, all the while letting out
a blood-curdling scream to wake the dead or at least all the neighbors.
I called the police, and when the officer came, the dog charged after
him. He said the dog was lucky it didn't get a shot right through the
head. And, do you know where the owner's were while their beast was
roaming the neighborhood? They were sitting in their church pew.
Apparently, they haven't gotten to the part in Exodus concerning
animals that endanger human lives and their owner's responsibilities.
Of course, that was concerning a bull's goring someone to death.
We certainly can't extrapolate from this example, concerning dogs.
Anyway, enough ranting about dogs, and I'm sorry if I offended anyone.
I know there are some good ole dogs out there, but they sure don't live
around me. All we have are unruly beasts here. 
However, this morning at least I was able to get my 1G8's standardized
testiing done, so our school year is officially over as we have reached
180 days of "state-approved learning". I've told my children that they
may now turn their brains off and enjoy their vegetative state until
August. LOL Actually, Dd is supposed to do one page of math each
week-day during the summer
Yesterday, I disbudded the
twins--our newest baby goats. Thank heavens they are both girls, so I
won't have to worry about any other 'operations'. Dh held each of the
three older kids so that I could tattoo their ears and give them their
shots. Fun for all involved, I assure you. And if you buy that, I've
got some oceanfront property in Arizona . . .
