Jasmine♥

Okay, so as you obviously know, I got my puppy this weekend.
Her name is Jasmine. [Aka, Jas or Jazzy.]
One word: gorgeous.
She is seriously too cute. She's really soft. She's smart too! She knows to go in her crate when she wants to sleep and that if she pees and poops outside she'll get a treat. She chews on your shoelaces and your pants, and I had to wear my hair up all weekend because she would chew on that too. She whines when you put her in her crate, and sometimes doesn't sleep through the night. She loves being picked up and looking out the window in the car. She rolls in the grass and gets all dirty. She likes shade, she steps in her water when she's drinking it, and she can't finish a whole walk without being picked up. She chews on the gate, and the undersides on the kitchen cabinets. She lies under the kitchen cabinets, all hunched up, like Cara used to. She chews on Honey's fur, and bites her legs, and Honey couldn't care less. She chews on an empty Coke bottle. She's noticed Blizz, but hasn't really met her. She's like a little kid. She eats, plays for half an hour, then falls asleep.
I saved her from being sprayed by a skunk. When we take her for walks every one's all 'OHEMGEE! She's so cute!' People think she looks like the puppy in that K9 Advantix commercial. [What do you think?]

I couldn't love her more. I deff can't wait until people can meet her. From school, and everything. Because they would love her. Who wouldn't?

Got up wicked early this morning.
Pictures later.
Promise.

Updated to add:Today's the last day Lizzie is going to see AndrewRyan! Sad.

It's called different hair types!

Ohmigod today was so...crazy I guess?

Homeroom-Everyone is all sad because one of the frogs we had died yesterday. Ellie and Taylor helped me do Greta's word search for history. We must have looked really stupid because we were sitting on the floor and every time we found a word we would get really excited. But we got it done!! Yay!

Math-We were supposed to have study, but we had a math test instead. Went to the library with Hannah and Amanda when we were done.

History-More people presented. Did more word searches/crossword puzzles. Abby and I gave each other the answers.

Lunch-Ohmygawd, it was so funny because Laura threw something in Lizzie's hair. So then we started talking about it. And Lizzie's like 'I just washed it last night!' And Laura goes 'Well, so did I, but mine doesn't look like yours.' So Lizzie's like 'It's called different hair types, Laura!' So we all start laughing and I'm like 'Well, that was quite a comeback!' Then Lizzie starts giving me this lecture about different hair types. And I'm like 'Lizzie, I know.' It was really funny. Maybe it was one of those things where you had to be there. Oh! And there was a scandal. We ♥ scandals.

Religion-So we were talking but the retreat, right. [Do you remember the retreat post? It was pretty amazing.] And we're talking about this play that people preformed there, and about how the guy that got robber was snubbed by everyone that passed by. So Laura goes 'Would you have snubbed him Sister Perpetua?' And Sister P totally ignores her! So I look at Laura and I'm like 'She snubbed you!!' And Laura's like 'Sister Perpetua, you snubbed me!' And Sister P totally ignores her! It was totally oxymoron-ish. Then we finished watching that magic man movie, so we're all like 'Can we watch Sandlot?' And Sister P's like 'No. Too much to do.' So Amy goes up and puts the movie in, and starts it. Then Ashley has to scream 'Oh! We're watching it!' So Laura's like 'Shut up Ashley!' And then we couldn't watch it.

Performance of Alice in Wonderland by the 8th graders-Well,before it started, Amy put Lizzie's hair up in a pretty little bun! It looked gorgeous! But then she took it out. Which was sad. But the actual play? Can you say odd? It was just...very weird. Not sure how else to describe it. Can't you find your own way to Wonderland? We don't know where it is already! All the people were either really excited or really bored. Then near the end one of the girls came off the stage and started dancing with Mary Ellen. Then a bunch of people[Amy, Emily, Raquel, Ashley, who knows who else?] got up and started randomly dancing. And screaming, too. Laura thought someone dropped a bomb so she was like flipping out. Hannah and I were like 'Um, are you okay?' Then the principal came up to the microphone and was like 'Well! That was fun! Some of you were distracting at the end...[She glares at our entire area, our entire area bursts out laughing, she glares even more.] Anyway...' [Keeps talking, but no one listens] Then she yelled at Mary Ellen and the 8th grader that came over and started dancing. It's not even Mary Ellen's fault though, that's why it was stupid.

On the Bus-Laura and I were way crazy. Laura was like 'I bet I'm annoying everyone on the bus right now.' But it was way fun. we talked about Hp Hop Harry, and Fred, and lots of other things. Apparently, I entertain her. Good quality, huh? Lots of fun though.

Really good day. I so can't wait until Saturday!

Aw!

New pictures of the puppies!
They are so cute!
And so big!
[[9 days]]
So today....hm, well, nothing really happened. In religion I showed Sister P the picture of my puppy and she was like "Oh! She's so cute!" Then she looks at it a little bit and goes "It's a bit fat." And I'm like "Yeah, well they just started eating dog food." And Hannah's like "Yeah! So their bloated!"
Hmmm. Not much happened during the day, but after school we saw Johnathan again and Lizzie was all upset because the sign changed from tiger's blood to watermelon. He wouldn't tell her what his new mood was so she was all upset.
Other than that....ohemgee, I seriosly can't remember. I have memory problems. And Ellie isn't helping, because she does too.
But, not like, in a bad way.
<333>

I cant talk, and I haven't even had any strong drinks!!

[Yesterday and today]
Yesterday was fun I guess?
Homeroom- Steph said Ellie[Bob] and I have no lives. Did math homework.
Religion- Sister P was talking, but she couldn't get the words out, so she goes "Oh dear, I can't talk and I haven't even had any strong drinks!" And we are all like DYING laughing. And she kept doing it to, it was so funny!! Abbey and I were like looking at each other and giggling every time she did it.
Math- Math test. Boring.
Study- Went to the library. Ellie got a detention from Sister Viola.
History- We colored maps. And um.....not much else.
After school- I didn't stay but-Ellie's detention slip got ripped up by the secretary. Apparently, it was awesome.
Today was so....crazy I guess?
Homeroom- Another lizard died! It was all, like, floating in the water. Because they're in a tank with water, yet they can't swim...
Spanish- We made little baseball fields!! They are very cute. We totally lost track of time though.
Computer- Got to computer LATE! The teacher was like all quiet and not talking you could tell she was mad. We have a robotics test next class.....and the whole entire class is like "So failing that".
Lunch- Ellie forced me to eat something. I hate that she talks me into stuff sometimes.
Science- We had to dissect a chicken. Gag me with a spoon. It was so gross, I felt like I was going to park a custard. So the teacher was like "Go find a camera and take pictures!" So I now have pictures. If I cant get them, I'll post them.
English- Like a little classroom jail cell. We weren't allowed to leave. The sub [our computer teacher] was all strict.
After school- MISSED MY BUS! Because our sub kept us late for some stupid thing that wasn't even in the directions and then my locker wouldn't open! I was like ughh! So I stayed after for Spanish Club. We went down to the cafeteria, because we were going to buy cookies, but they were closed, so we were like knocking on the door all soft. So I was like banging on it and I'm like "Please we need cookies for our convention for starving people!" But they didn't open up. It was quite frustrating. So then we went and like, sat on the stairs, for 10 minutes. Elizah came down and found us. Lizzie was like, spazzing on the stairs, and her shoe fell off so Elizah picks it up, and throws it at some girl walking up the stairs! And it totally hits her in the bum! We were like "ELIZAH!" So then Elizah like runs over and takes Lizzie's shoe and throws it outside! So Lizzie runs out to get it but she totally gets locked out. So she's sitting on the ground all dejected with her shoe and this lady like walks behind her and gives her like this death look. It was really funny. So then we walk back up to Spanish club
We drew pictures of things that are fun. Some things on our list are
-Cheese [Very badly drawn, looks like a yellow triangle with holes.]
-Fire [Turned into burning Dylan]
-Playing in traffic
-Lizzie's shoe [It was taped onto the paper until Lizzie took it back]
-Lizzie's marriage certificate [She got married to Zac Efron today, in computer class. Amy, Miley Cyrus, Nick Jonas and I were all there. It was great.]
-A picture of Ellie. [As an elephant, but she doesn't really look like that.]
-Who knows what else??
After that was done we all went to the playground. We played on the swings!! There was one point were Ellie was like "OMG!" And she had almost totally fallen off her swing I was like "AHHH!" Then I ran over and totally saved her life. [Well, almost.] So she goes on swinging and her shoe totally flied off and Hannah runs and takes it and ties it to the top of this like tall twisty pole thing. So I climb up and untie her shoe and throw it down to her. Then Lizzie is on the little platform and she's like "Go jump down." And I'm like flipping out because like, my foot is stuck and I can't get down. Then I slide all the way down and Ellie's like "Oh!" And she finally helps me. Then we go to get Palagi's and Lizzie's like "3 tiger's blood." [It's like, cherry. But they call it tiger's blood, don't ask me why.] And Ellie's like "But I want lemon." And Lizzie's like "Your such an outcast!!" Then Ellie got all frustrated because I wanted her lemon one instead of the one I ordered. It was actually really funny. And the whole time, over the whole afternoon, Lizzie's has been randomly throwing her celly at the ground. And it didn't not break one time!! I swear, her cell phone must be like, indestructible.
New pictures of the puppies!! 16 days left.

my new best friends

Okay, so Dad, Debbie, and I went to see the puppies today, and they are so adorable. We're deff getting a dog, and we're getting her Memorial Day weekend. We're not sure which one yet, because you get to decide when you go. Of course, we have no idea what we're going to name her yet, but we still have a month. [Let me know if you've got a good name.]

The mom, Saira. We saw the dad, Abbott, too, but we didn't get a picture of him.

One of the puppies I was holding, totally fell asleep while I was holding her.

Love them, fersure.

xoxoXO

:[

The breeder just called. 

And...one of her dogs is sick so she's taking them to the vet.

So, we can't go see the puppies.

Mae.

<3

My foot is asleep

Right now I'm at D&D's, and I'm kind of sick? I had a fever [101.3] this morning and a bad headache. Here with Honey and Deuce [dogs we're dog-sitting, for those of you not in the know *couch cough* Abbey *cough cough*]. They get in fights a lot now, apparently, so the house is split into 2 sections, and one side is Honey's and one side is Deuce's. With like, gates and stuff.

Tomorrow we're going to look at the puppies! So can't wait. I deff wish my camera was working so I could take pictures.

xoxo

!!!!!

So Dad just sent me this e-mail about a new breeder of goldens!! [That's what we always called Cara, because she didn't retrieve anything.] There are 16 puppies, twice the normal amount, 6 boys and 10 girls. We're going to see them on Saturday, we hope. So so exited!! Link here. They are so adorable!!

The Whole Thing

Here's the whole thing, start to finish. Well, maybe not everything, but the important stuff.
When we went to look at all the dogs I was little. Like, 6 or 7. I kept picking up guys by accident. I was so excited, you wouldn't even believe it, because this was going to be my dog. My dog that I was going to have from when she was a puppy. So we had driven like hours to this breeder with these golden retrievers and we got to meet all the puppies mom and grandma. We finally decided on a gorgeous little girl, but we couldn't take her yet because she wasn't old enough. So we came back, and on the ride home she kept wanting to come in the back seat with me and Katie. She was absolutely ahdorable.

When Cara was still small, like under a year old, she used to love laying under the little ledges from the cabinets in the kitchen. She would stick out a bit, and once or twice I may have tripped over her by accident [no surprise there], but she didn't care. She loved loved laying there, especially if Debbie was cooking and she dropped something, because she could just run over and scoop it up.
If I tried to typed every little thing I remember about Cara this post would take a really long time. If I did type everything about her and you decided to read the whole thing, you would be sitting at your computer for a week. So I'll try and keep this short.
When Cara was 3, she was diagnosed with cancer, lymphoma. She started going to Angell, and even though I wish she never had to go, I'm glad we had such a good hospital to take her to. Everyone there loved her and she was always good for treatments. She went into remission twice, but the cancer kept coming back. She was really doing great until 3 days before Christmas last year. She started shaking and she was mopey, and not herself at all. We took her to Angell and they kept her over night, and Dad and I went to visit her the next day. She was doing so good, and we just sat there for like half an hour with her in her little area. And I've got to tell you, even though she was doing better, it's scary seeing someone you love connected to an IV. I know it doesn't hurt [I've had one] but it's scary. So I want back home that night. The next night, it's Christmas Eve. Mom, Dave and I were almost ready to go to Auntie Sue's house, when Dad calls. And Cara has a tumor. And we're going to have to put her to sleep. Ha asks if I want them to wait until I can see her, and I'm like, 'Not if she's going to be in pain.' So that's it. I didn't want her to be kept waiting on me if she was going to be in pain. I really, really loved her, more than you would ever know, but I really think she knew that.
I've done a lot of crying over Cara, more than I thought I would. Most of you reading this have probably never seen me really cry, and trust me, you probably don't want to.
One thing that was really hard was going to Dad's and not having a dog there. I had been coming here to see her 5 years and it's just not the same. It was hard seeing that one Christmas present under the tree when all the other ones had been opened. It was hard getting up in the morning and not having her come say hello. It was even hard not seeing her and Blizz fight over the couch.
Now that we're going to be getting a new dog soon, I'm really happy, but I'm scared too. [I cried in the car when Dad told me.] I don't want that all to happen again. And I know that what ever dog we're going to get could never replace Cara, but I don't think we're looking to replace her, I think we're just looking for a dog. Somebody to hug, somebody to have greet you in the morning, somebody that you have to house-train all over again. And you know what?? I absolutely can't wait.
xoxoXO
