   D'aw! *SQUEE*

This weekend was fairly busy for me, or at least to the point of me not being home all that much. Saturday, my parents were taking the Grand AM to Omaha to sell it and my brothers and I got to stay at our grandma’s house again (the same one that has the horses). I was wrong about the puppy’s breed (the one who lives in the house with her mom); I guess Jamie is a rat terrier, so that makes Jackie a rat terrier-Jack Russell terrier mix. But anyway, those two often fought over who got to sit on my lap and be petted. XD Jackie definitely has a Jack Russell temperament...or at least her father’s...Jamie is the sweetest little dog. We went to the other house to do chores, and I got to see the little palomino again, as well as spend some time with the old grey stallion, Dusty. He used to be a stud, but he’s getting to old to breed mares, so he’s “retired”, if you look at it that way. He’s a total sweetheart, and he let me talk to him and pick out burrs from his mane while he ate. Out of all the horses my grandma has owned, Dusty and I have known each other the longest and I think we share a special bond...he always looks at me a certain way, and will always greet me when I go over to his pen. I love him so much! >w< After chores, we went back to grandma’s house and ate dinner. I played with the dogs and the pretty blind cat while we waited for my parents to call for us to go pick them up. Drew and I went with Grandma to get Mom and Dad, then came back to Grandma’s. I went up to where the younger puppies were that were from the female Jack Russell terrier, Spot. The puppy that Mom and I picked out (even though we can’t get her because of financial reasons) and grown a little since I last saw her. She still has her yellow lab colored fur, but I noticed that she has white paws now, and a little white spot on her forehead, so I decided to call her Dotti. I picked her up (she didn’t struggle or anything, just looked at me cutely), and carried her down to where my parents were. My mom and I squeed at how cute she was, and how she licked my cheeks and chin when I held her close to my face. She’s so adorable! I really wish we could get her...I was relieved when I asked my dad why we couldn’t get a dog, let alone Dotti, and he said that he would love to get her, we just don’t have the money to pay for everything right now. I just hope that nobody will get her when my grandparents advertise the puppies in the paper...there’s still a chance that we’ll get back on our feet and have enough to pay for shots, food, and a kennel. I know it’s selfish of me to say something like that, and I’m sure that if she did get a home other than mine, it would be great (so help me, if it wasn’t...*growl*). *ahem* We eventually left and went back home to change into some cleaner clothes before going in to Cherokee (biggest town near us) to eat at Taco John’s, rent some movies (I rented Ju-On 2! =D), and get groceries.

Yesterday I went over to Kayla’s. Yes, it’s a Sunday ritual...I almost always go over to her house on Sundays...it’s my piece of freedom after baby-sitting my brothers all week while my parents are at work. Anyhoo, when I got there, I gave her and her mom the candles my mom sent with me. Robin (Kayla’s mom) had a hysterectomy earlier this week, so Mom gave her one as a “Feel better” present. After that, Kayla and I got our swim-suits on and got in their pool in the back yard. After swimming for a few hours, we got out and dried off with towels and the sun before changing again and eating some yummy deviled eggs Robin had made for us. =D~ We watched Dir en grey again, then watched a little bit of Babe before they took me home. As soon as I got out of the car, I saw that one of the cats had caught a rabbit and brought back some pieces...like half it’s face (eyeball still intact...XP), a chewed on leg, and some random bits of fur and bone. *shudder* I got to borrow the Fullmetal Alchemist movie from Kayla’s brother, as well as FFVII: Advent Children. I watched some of Ju-On 2 before getting my brothers and I some ice cream and calling Yumi and talked with her for a bit. I watched the rest of the movie before going to bed. I thought the movie was well made, though it wasn’t the scariest one I’ve seen. Most of it was psychological, like seeing one of the ghosts in a random shadow, or reflective surface when the actor is looking away, or the camera is just panning. I really want to see the first Ju-On now, though...and for those of you unfamiliar, Ju-On is pretty much the original version of The Grudge before us Americans hacked it. XD

I’m glad that all of you thought the papillon pic I posted in my last post was so cute...I thought so too! X3 If you’re curious, I haven’t done much today except rediscover how ugly I think Pekignese dogs are, and watch The Conqueror of Shambala. I’ll leave you with another picture before I go catch up on my weekend’s worth of missed MyO-ness. ~Ja ne!

As promised...D’aw! >w<
