So, we have a dog. A new dog.  Jake the Dog.  He was Chad's birthday present to himself.  Jake to Dog is...special.  He's had issues with me since the beginning, but late last week to the cake.  After "poop gate" with the dog crate, I knew it was only going to get worse.  A few days ago, I took Jake out to take care of his morning business.  We came back inside but Jake kept whimpering like he needed to go back out.  I was standing up to take him back out when he EXploded.  Poo everywhere!  It was more poo than I have ever seen in my life.  I consulted my friend, Heather, and she said it was time to take him to the vet.  I take him to the vet and he performs some tests.  He comes back in the exam room to let me know all tests came back negative.  While that news is great, I wanted to know what the heck was wrong with Jake...the Dog.  The vet very calmly looked at me and said, "It appears that Jake has an anxiety disorder.  Anytime he gets stressed or overwhelmed, this is going to happen.  Try to remove all stress from your house."  All I could do was look at this guy.  Are you KIDDING me?!?!?!  I have a zoo at my house.  I tried to match the vet's calmness and explain there was really no way to remove stress from our lives.  He then told me to suck it up and just hope he outgrows it.  Great.  Jake is now known as E.D.D.-Explosive Diarhea Dog. Awesome.

Riley had an awesome journal entry this week too.  I can't even describe it, I just have to type it. 

I can't wait until I'm a senior at Vampire High and since I'am at school in the day time, Im pretty sleepy and vampires are tired at sunrise.  It's time for me to go a different school.  I hid my wings, but I'll never twll who is not a vampire.  I fly to vampire school and always drink blood.

I walked in the cafeteria on Friday and smelled scrumptious succulent human pizza and always blood to drink.  I know it's weird, but when I write this I am at vapire school.  I was with my vap pals at flying class.

I can't even express how much I love the creativity this child has!  Her journal is FULL of stories much like this!
