   Mhmmmm...its the long weekend. Oh yeah!
Well, so far, the long weekend has been...well, boring, and exciting, and normal all at once. I'll explain:


On Friday, I didn't do much else but sleep. That is, until noon. Luckily My parents didn't have the day off, else I'dve been running around doing chores all day. Then I got up and did my art homework, which was to finish carbon tracing out the layers of my mask, and then sticking them all together, so i's ready to plaster on thursday. I would take a photo, cause it looks kinda cool, but dad's got the camera while he's off on his old car rally. Note the words old car. I'll be surprised if the car he's in doesn't break down at least twice. It already broke on the way to the car rally- the axle snapped. This is all relevant, cause these old men came around to our house to try and fix it on the Friday, too. (If you were wondering, my dad is obsessed with old cars, and has a little workshop filled with tools for that exact kind of thing, which is why they came around to our house. Of course, you weren't wondering, but I told you anyway)


Well, I then went to youth group about half an hour late, and played sports...lots of table tennis, coz it's fun, and then came back home to do...well, I'm not exactly sure what I did, but it took until about 12:00pm to do it. Then I went to bed. Oh, and I missed out the fact that I had pizza for dinner. Mmmmmmm pizza.


On Saturday. Well, it started the same, I didn't really get up properly until abot 11am. Mum went out to go shopping, and told me to look after the dogs. We have 3 dogs here at the moment. Emi, Banjo, and Tinsel. Banjo is here cause Mum is showing him, Tinsel is here cause she's heavily pregnant (we reckon she'll end up having her pups today!) and Emi is here cause...well, she's always here.

Anyway, when mum left, she actually left the front door open by accident. It wasn't a problem, as all the dogs were in the dogroom. (Yes we have a dogroom. Don't ask.) I just went and shut the door. I was kinda spooked, cause some burglar could've been in the house or something. So I went down to check on the dogs- Tinsel especially. They were all there, all happy. So I came back to my beloved computer, and started CGing another pic in photoshop. Soon after, the cat came in, and I figured I needed to feed her. So I wandered down to the dogroom (which is where we keep the cat food!?!)
And Horror of horrors, there was only one dog there...Tinsel, the pregnant one. Thank goodness for that. So on exploring a little more, I realised that the dogroom door to outside was OPEN! And so were the gates. I totaly freaked out at that point. That was 3 doors that shouldn'tve been open that day. The front door, the dogroom door, and the gates. Crap. So where were the dogs? Maybe someone had come to collect them before tinsel had her puppies...no, Mum would've told me. I checked the dogroom door quickly as I ran outside and ALMOST slammed it shut...thankfully I caught it in time, else I'dve been locked out in my Pj's -^^-.

So the lock was still pressed in, but the door hadn't been shut properly in the first place. And those clever dogs of ours had freakin well RUN AWAY!!! So I rang Mum, and her phone was engaged. Then I rang Grandpa, cause that's one of the places where mum was going to go. He told me to calm down, and ring mum again. The next time I rang her, I got through. I told her to get back home, coz the dogs were missing. She was like "WHAT?" but she came home anyway.
Probably got a couple of speeding tickets too. But we then spent the next hour or so running around the streets whistling and calling for our dogs. Whoops.

Anyway, people had seen them out on this really busy road, and we were worried that we were should be looking for roadkill instead of our dogs. (one person said they had actually helped them both across the road! God bless that person!!!) I was out infront of our house talking to these 2 boys on bikes, and then what do I see? Emi runnng down the road towards me! Yes!!! 1 dog down, 1 to go. I asked the boys to bike in the direction they had seen Emi running from in case Banjo was there too, while I took Emi inside.

Tinsel was happy to see her. I just hoped she wouldnt get too excited and start popping out puppies everywhere that would've been a bummer. I took the portable phone and ran back out to the front of the house. 1 of the 2 boys came biking up to me while I was talking to mum on the phone, and said they had found Banjo! I was so happy! Then I saw him bolt across the street and into someones house, So I was running down the street with a portable phone trying to call a dog and talk to mum, and the boy all at the same time. Talk about multi tasking!!!

Then mum came speeding down the road, and we ran into this random property. Banjo was really scared and it took us a while to catch him. But finally all the dogs were back home.

Then I worked out that MUM had left practically every door in the freakin house open without realising it. Oh yeah. She's real clever. >:C
That was my day gone straight out the window ^^


Sunday. Today.
Well, Mum's gone out to a dog show ith Banjo, and I'm sitting here hoping Tinsel doesn't have her puppies. And that's it.
I wonder what'll happen tomorrow...
