BrownSheep- It's been a while

[CocoNUT]

Now Brownsheep - as a former RA (dorm cop) I would HIGHLY adivse you to NOT raise animals in your dorm room! I've had to bust people for all kinds of stupid (& yet ingenius) things kids have done in their dormrooms. Oh the stories I could tell! Here's one for the storybooks....when I was in Australia (I wasn't an RA then)...one of the girls in our group was dating a local boy whose parents owned a cattle station. Well they were culling roos and found a joey in one of the culled roos. So he gave it to her for a 'present'. She brought the danged joey back to Sydney...to our apartments...and proceeded to feed it ice cream and snickers bars and other dorm room delectibles. THEN the Rhodes Scholar wondered WHY it died! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Whatever! My suitemate had several puppies in her room...I almost got fired for it and I didn't even know she HAD them (separate rooms sharing a bathroom)! She got all kinds of busted for it too. Those were the days.....

Good for you and the bikerides! Sooo awesome! I think i could EASILY stand to lose 40 lbs! Good luck!

Ahhhh Coco are you absolutely certain I shouldn't have a dorm chicken?

Royd don't tempt me with those babies! They are adorable.

I was naughty this afternoon! My dad mention something about getting another herding dog to tak my sisters place when she leaves for school...He replaces us with dogs ...any who today I sent him an email titled these could totally herd sheep. There was some links to border collies, Aussies, and a some rough coated collies in there...and mixed into the middle was an add for some feeder piglets...Think he got the hint?...Anyway if Babe can do it so can my pigs!

I'll be heading home tomorrow! Yay

Haha...I will be replacing my children with Great Pyrenees...so I get your dad.

Also...that's why I lived off campus...so I could have my GSD's with me. No way I could bare being separated from them!

Hope you have a great time with your family but most important , your sheep this weekend!

Get a pet rock!

they actually had a pet rock making party not two weeks ago....I was busy with something then though.

Right now I have Lorenzo the potted plant and the new pot that hasn't been named yet. Can you tell I am yearning for something with a heart beat? I think a fish might be in my future.

I had a betta fish in college. It went back and forth between school and home. He lived a few years, much longer than most bettas do.

It's been an up and down couple days.

Friday I head down home. My dad called me to say my mom was up here since grandma wasn't well. I took my grammie ( other grandma) down with me.

This morning we picked up our new bull. More on that later.

The call was received that they were rallying the wagons and grandma was, in the words my dad, giving up the ghost. My mom didn't want us to see her in the state she was in so we agreed to come down tonight. We scrambled around getting the animals ready for our absence. Through extra hay to the ewes an yaks. Our 4-h leader was kind enough to take on our bottle baby for te weekend. We didn't leave till 8:00. As we pulled out of town my mom called and said she had passed.

This grandmother has been a major part of my life. She lived was up until middle school when her health declined too much for us to care for at home and the health care provided at our local hospital wasn't up to par for her. I saw her last weekend and ate Chinese food in her room with her.

To some it up I am kind of in shock that she's gone. I am upset over the stupid fact the last time I said good bye I didn't get to give her a hug because I wasn't feeling well.

Right now I am back in my dorm room trying not cry as my roommate gets ready to go party. And worrying over what I need to do to be able to go to her funeral. I have a bio lab which I am not allowed to miss and a calc test as well. I am certain they'll work something out and my RA will help me but I am still just kind of overwhelmed . Some my close friends from home have already heard and reached out to me which I couldn't be mor thankful. I think the best thing right now is for me to sleep.

My mom said there was no less than 15 people with her all day today wich is how she would have wanted it.

I am so sorry about your grandma Brownsheep. Losing someone you loved so much is so hard.
