Hi angel friends, we had an incident happen around late morning. Holly and i were out gardening, my parents went out to shop, and they came home. Holly and i had the backyard gate open. my mom and dad came home, we didn't notice, until my dad opened back door, and the dogs ran outside, Blue took off, out the gate, and he ran off. oh my! we all rushed out to try to catch him. he flew off very fast. my mom and dad went in the minivan to find him,and Holly and i walked all over our neighborhood to find him, but we all couldn't find him. my parents drove down the road, my mom texted me, and said, that Blue had gone through the golf course, and ran across the turnpike area and over near malerba's farm, he was brought in by the ice rink skating place, they called the animal control. Lisa got out of work, to confirm to the animal control, Blue's ownership, by vet records. Lisa, my mom, and dad brought Blue home, he's ok and was a bit out of breathe, and is resting. we're so glad, thankful, and relieved that Blue is ok. he needs a little more training, so that he doesn't take off like that, and that he listens when we call his name. he's a good pup, but needs training. it was upsetting when we all couldn't find him, but we're thankful that malerba's family, and the ice skating rink helped find Blue, and he's back home, and safe :)

Hi sweet Chris, Happy Baking Friday. The s’mores and sugar m & m cookies sound so good. I’m glad u all enjoyed and had a happy Baking Friday. The pictures u & Holly drew and colored were really nice. U both did a great job drawing and coloring the pictures. It’s nice the kids had fun on their field day and field trips and kids have more fun to look forward too. I’m very sorry Blue got out and u all went through an ordeal to get him back. I’m glad u all got him back and everything is fine now. I hope u and Holly enjoy watching Most Haunted tonight and movie with popcorn Saturday evening and enjoy going to the Dollar Tree and to Jenn’s home to celebrate their one year Anniversary.

Hi Chris and Holly It must have been the day for dog escapes. Mya turned up missing yesterday afternoon. I called and called for her and she didn't come. Finally I got a pone call from a lady that she found her along side the road. She had her name tag with our phone number on it so she called me and ended up bringing Mya home. Mya was about two miles from our house. We have no idea how she got that far from home but we were very very glad that the lady that found her left us know she had her. We were very relieved that we got her back. Blue and her must be related!!!

The goodies all look really good. We made smores last weekend when we had our fire. They were really good. Your BBQ today sounds really good. We talked about grilling today but haven't decided for sure yet. They are calling for rain around dinner time here today so we are going to wait and see what the weather does. If it is nice, we will go ahead and build a fire and cook over the coals. We love cooking outside.


Have a great day. Hugs to you and Holly. John Debbie Mya Abby and Allie
