Miscellaneous Musings

***
Meg likes high school and seems to be adjusting well.  There could be an issue with the math teacher/class (what's new?) but we're giving it a bit of time before opting for a change.  Open House is tonight and I'm anxious to meet her teachers.

Bitzy is growing and doing well.  With Meg now in school, I do however feel like a puppy wrangler. "Bitzy, no.  Bitzy, come here.  Bitzy, leave her (Jasmine) alone."  All. Day. Long.  I'm not loving the whole "take her outside every hour" thing but she is doing remarkably well.  On those occasions when she has to go more often, she uses the pee pads 90% of the time.  Not too bad for such a tiny pup but it certainly has put a major cramp in my daily routine.

Fin is a now a master at pulling up.  He also loves his food.  Jay sent me this picture of him taken immediately after he'd consumed an entire mango.

That popsicle like thingie is actually a newfangled eating "utensil."  You fill it with soft foods (such as bananas, mangos, etc) and then he knaws on the mesh. It's a way of letting him feed himself without fear of choking.  And oh yeah, it makes a huge mess.  LOL!!!  But as you can see, he's once again pretty darned proud of himself.

My week has consisted of doing laundry, shopping for appropriate school attire, running errands, filling out a gazillion school forms and oh yeah, puppy wrangling.  In fact, I need to see what the little monster is up to right now.  It's way too quiet in here.
