well, it's official. ken's new computer is cool. 8^) hopefully it will be thing he needs to start on monday the 13th.

he was going to come over on friday evening and we were going to see a movie, but well, plans got sidetracked.
on his way home from osecola, he saw something on the side of the road, two sad little eyes.
they belonged to a puppy, purebred golden retreiver about 6-8 weeks old from the looks of it. who knows how long he was out there.
he had a sister with him who unfortunatley got hit and killed by a car. he was staying near her. there were no houses near by. this was the proverbial "middle of nowhere."
ken said the puppy was estatic to see him, crawling up his shoulder and licking his face and hands. he couldn't just leave him there.
so with the puppy in his lap, he drove out to his parents' place. i met him there.

he's so cute! they've named him "lucky" and he's gotten a clean bill of health from the vet. he's such a sweet dog. he's a buff golden, meaning he's a lighter shade than normal, but still a golden retriever.

i don't see how someone could disregard life so much to put to puppies out in the middle of nowhere. *ggrrrrr*
while, lucky was indeed lucky, i feel bad about his sister who never had a chance. who knows how many people went down that road...not many but enough to hit the poor thing and then to drive by not caring. plus, it had been raining alot the previous days. and it was a purebred to boot!
poor things...i know more people would have picked up the puppy but driven on by if it was a kitten. that also makes me mad! >8^(

but i'm glad things turned out happy for lucky. he's gonna be a good dog.

mom went back to texas yesterday. it'll be awhile before i see her again. it was good to see her even the short time she was here, though.

i talked with jonathan stanley finally. unless we can convince ms. thrasher, the faculty herald advisor, to accept submissions from an alumni or i take a class this fall, there won't be much of a way for me to help jonathan with the cartoons. maybe i could do 2 or 3, but beyond that if ms. thraxher puts her foot down, i won't be able to submitt more than that. we'll see how it goes. maybe there's an art student who oughta join the staff. i vaguely recall talking with grover about that, but who was it that i recommended? *think, kit, think!*

tonight, jo and i go to a pampered chef party. food should be good and maybe i can get ken a new pizza stone since jo kinda permently borrowed his. after that, i'll be working on my comic's new site design. *crosses fingers* hope it works out ok. 8^)

our local, itty bitty sca group just found out it's hosting the kingdom crown list in october. o.0
that means the tournament battle to decide who will be the next heirs to the throne of meridies. and it's a big kingdom. i know foss is excited. 8^)P

ok, back to the ads! i have a deadline here.
