LADY

We’ve had many pets before, but Lady was the one we’ve had the longest. Somehow my son rescues these pets and we don’t know form where. We heard that Lady was being used as a fighting dog. The one and only reason my son was able to rescue and keep this one. She is a rare breed pit bull, a blue nose. These pit bulls aren’t bred today like we use to breed. Lady has a beautiful velvet grey coat, and her eyes are green like hazel. Although Lady was bred to be non-aggressive, she can’t break her sense of territory. I got a knock at the door with a request to check the backyard because Lady had eaten through the wooden fence. My neighbor made such a big stink about the “pit bull” that was endangering the neighborhood. Because of this I was led to give her to the pet adoption.
At the pet adoption I noticed some things about Lady that I hadn’t paid much attention to. Not only did she have the most beautiful eyes, they were kind eyes. Her kind eyes would bring warmth to anyone when you looked into them. They didn’t sit deeply back, but slightly forward giving the impression that she was happy with the decision that was being made. As we stood there finalizing the paperwork, I couldn’t help but feel sad as though I was losing a family member. I could hardly stand to look at her. She was a part of the family and we were about to say good bye for forever. We had all types of questions, what happens from here, will she get adopted, and will she be euthanized. The registrar assured us that as long as she was not aggressive towards other dogs she would be fine.
On the way home my wife and I talked about Lady like she was one of the kids. We wondered if we had done the right thing. We wondered if we hadn’t let our son have another pet as we agreed would we have these feelings. From that point we decided that the next time we have a pet we are all going to choose and mostly likely it will be a Chia pet.

Yesterday I started my first day at a JC in about 11 years. Last years I completed 8 months of a career college. So I'm here to begin again. I 'm ready to go to the next level.

What can I say about my classes? School is great; I mean it's never the way you think it's going to be. You think you're going to get there and it's going to be crazy, you won't know what to do, will you get to your class on time, when your get there is it the right class. I almost experienced the later on Saturday. I sat through the entire class and at the end my instructor did not have me on his roster. Hopefully he'll get my info before next session.

Class was great though, Mr. Murphy has some cool jokes. Man I hope I'm going to do good in this class. I want to learn how to communicate better in writing, this is my ultimate goal.

When I first thought about registering for writing I wondered if it would guide me in the right direction. I looked at the syllabus and what do you know, we have to execute a blog. This is what I'm interested in, becoming savvier with online interaction.

The mix of students seems like a pretty good balance although I think I am the only person who’s 5’ 7-1/2”(lol). I sit in the middle of the class to have an overall view of the class. I am close enough to the instructor so I can hear what he says without a challenge. The white board is directly in front of me. Everyone else is around me and I can just swivel my head to give my attention where needed.

We had great conversation going the first day; thoughts on the economy, gas prices, education in our public system as well as the gay agenda. I had some pretty good comebacks to some of the jokes we heard but was not quick to respond in time enough to get a laugh. In fact I was so slow I didn’t respond to most. Something I’ll have to work on over the course of the class.

Well I’m preparing for next week, class tomorrow in reading. I like that class too; reading is one of my favorite things to do. Hey if anyone out there knows where I can pick up an inexpensive copy of, “Ten steps to writing” please let me know.

Until next week,

Good night and God speed!
