She and her two dogs drove up from Florida. They arrived in Indiana on Monday the 10th. One of her dogs (Suki) had an eye injury, and the vet in FL mandated that Jan find a vet in IN for a re-check. Since Cathy is a vet, Jan stopped in Indianapolis to get Suki checked out. Christopher's wisdom tooth extraction and Suki's visit with Cathy were almost simultaneous. We met after we were both done with our respective visits, and she followed us home.
I was a little anxious about how Maui was going to react to having two strange dog in the house. The three of them got along wonderfully. Maui even tried to get his dog cousins to play with the duck.
We had a ball with Grandma Jan and the dogs (Bandit on the left and Suki center). Emma thoroughly enjoyed the dogs. She has the same love of dogs as Cathy has for cats. It would not surprise me if Emma grows up to be a Vet Tech or a Veterinarian.
Another event of the week was the start of the 2009-2010 school year. They went back on August 13 this year. I took pictures of Cameron in the morning, but they did not come out well at all. After he returned home from school, he made faces every time I broke out the camera. I missed his first day of 8th grade.
Christopher darted out the door while saying good-bye. I was not fast enough to get him before school, BUT I was waiting for him after school. I was snapping pictures and he said, "Mom really. Do you have to do this. Why are you taking my picture?" My reply was simple, "Because it's the first day of your Senior year, that's why."
I expected Emma to ham it up for me. Not so much. I drove her to school, and she turned her back and ran from me. She kept saying, "Mom stop. Stop it, Mom. You're embarassing me." I wish I could have caught up to her, grabbed her, and gave her a big 'ole kiss. Now THAT would have been embarassing.
