Just a little update

It's week 4 of school and it's been going alright so far. Malone and I are both part time school this semester. I am finishing up and Malone is taking it easy this semester (hopefully he'll speed things along after this semester). My classes are interesting and I'm learning alot! I'm taking a Communicable and Non-communicable Disease class and a Drug use and abuse class. So far I'm doing well! Malone is taking Church history and Biology. Biology has been a headache. I think it has something to do with the fact that he signed up for a higher level biology than he needed... Malone has been struggling trying to figure out what he wants to do, and I think he has finally settled on Construction Management. Yes it's very dependent on the economy and such, but I think it's something he'll enjoy and be great at.



The house is great so far! I'm sorry I haven't posted pics. I just wanted to wait till we were completely organized,clean, and decorated before I posted, but from the looks of things, that might be a while lol. I'll take some pics this week. Now that we have two extra bedrooms, we've realized how much we need furniture! One room is going to be an office/studio (which needs a desk of some kind) and the other a spare room (we'll need at least a bed!). It's hard to organize things when you have no furniture to put things on or in. And we're a little short on cash to spend on furniture... but We've loved having so much space and such a pretty home. I am so grateful everyday! I just wish we had a fenced yard to Altivo can play.



It's been a few weeks since Tulio left. Having just Altivo has been great! I feel alot less stressed about trying to keep an eye on more than one dog at a time. I absolutely love having Tivo around. He's great company. We somehow managed to pick out the perfect dog for us. He's very calm, hardly ever barks, loves to just sit on your lap and be held, and he loves naps. When the house is quiet and I'm doing homework or occupied with something, he just lays next to me, naps, or just entertains himself. He hates being home alone, but it's something he'll have to get used to. He doesn't sleep alone at night very well, so we keep him in his kennel in our room. He does wake up 2-3 times a night needing to go out, but he'll go right back to sleep when we bring him in. It can be frustrating. We've come to find out that he's okay kids, and doesn't mind being pet by them as long as it's under his terms. Otherwise he just runs away. I feel pretty confident with letting the kids outside with him because he's pretty quick. If hewants to be left alone he'll just run away. I just hope I can socialize him to the point that he'll be alright with being around kids more and lets others hold him.

Bye bye Tulio

So, we finally decided to sell Tulio (the brown one). Two puppies is too much, even though we love him very much. I found a local woman to buy him the other day, so we'll be saying goodbye to Tulio in one week. Just for fun, I decided to post a couple pics of Tulio. If you see these and think he looks old, it's because he is a little over 5 months. He'll be 6 on the 29th. Tulio is very energetic and loves to play. He's very obedient and smart. He's picked up on alot of tricks already including sitting, laying down, rolling over and crawling! He also is good at telling us when he needs to go outside, which is pretty good for only having him about 4 weeks. What a great dog. I hope that the people who adopt him are nice and love him as much as we do.
