Happy 17th Birthday Kix!! He has been down and out with the stomach flu for four days :( Including having to miss his first official basketball game of the season, which would have been today.
Kix and Ace both had a blast participating in the high school drama production this weekend! This was Ace's first opportunity, and Kix's .... well probably the 4th one he's been in. They did 2 short plays. One was the "Suess Odyssey" Here are some shots of Ace doing his role of Odysseus's son:
Absolutely perfect ending to this FUN and inspiring series of books and movies. They have been a bonding thing for me and some of my kids, students, sisters, and some brothers even. :) LOVE IT!♥
We have officially left the business of supplying our corner of the world with adorable lab mix puppies. I can say officially rather than just joking about it like we have many times because our precious Chloe mamma dog has passed away. :( We will also be leaving the buisness of supplying the world with adorable kittens, after the spay and neuter clinic that is being held in Brush in a week or two receives a visit from our Jasmine. I must absolutely say that it is one of the best parts of farm life to be able to raise baby critters though! ♥
The kids started calling her our "Holiday Dog". She was born on Halloween. The kids got her from Santa on Christmas. She became pregnant for the first time a year later on Valentine's Day. The puppies were born on Easter. And so it went. She left us this past September, 2 days after giving birth to a litter of 7 puppies. Ace drew this sweet picture the night she died:
