Hank the Cow Dog

This week a new member was added to our family, Hank the cow dog! On Monday when my little neighbor friends rang the door bell I was excited to see THEIR new puppy... only to find out they came over to see if WE wanted him. They had found him abandoned over the weekend at their Grandpa's house, and brought him back to see if we wanted it before they took him to the Humane Society. Of course we couldn't let that happen so now, here we are with 3 dogs when I had put my foot down at 2! We have no idea what kind of dog he is, but the neighbor kids named him HANK because they said he looks like Hank the Cow Dog... I looked up this Hank character and our Hank looks nothing like him! Oh well the name stuck. Its been so long since Bandit and Jesse were puppies I had forgotten what it was like, but he is worth every second!

On a different note in 19 days my first half a year as a teacher will be over!! Its gone by unbelievably fast. I have learned a lot of t things about being a teacher as well as a little about myself. While I love being able to help out financially and having my "own"money I miss all of the things I did when I stayed at home like cooking and cleaning. Yes I said it! Cooking and Cleaning! Even more than cooking and cleaning I can't wait to be laying on the beach and reading a good book! Operation toes in the water ass in the sand t-minus 40 days!!  Speaking of good books I am currently reading Savannah Blues by Mary Kay Andrews for the second time. I love, love, love all of her books, maybe its because they take place in places where I have been or maybe its because we share a mutual love of junking and Goodwill.  Lucky for me her new book is coming out 4 days before I leave for the beach! I will stand in line at Barnes and Noble for that one! To find out more about Mary Kay and her books check out her blog http://marykayandrews.com/ !
