Birthday

I had a really good birthday this year. I bought my first car about a week before my birthday. Its a 2002 Dodge Neon. For my birthday we went to El Arriero, the Mexican restaurant by the house. Mom made me a super awesome, delicious birthday cake. By the way I am really not on here much anymore so if you want to keep up with me you should friend me on facebook lol :)

Bunnies!!!

After a VERY long ride home Lily and Dixie made it home safe and sound. They spent their first night here in Gracie's crate (after it was cleaned from the chicks). Lily and Dixie enjoyed the AC, but were not impressed with their lack of space. Yesterday Mom and I went to Tractor Supply and got a cage and everything else the bunnies needed. Of course the cage came without instructions and was quite difficult to set up, but after a lot of frustration it was finally done. The cage is 36 in x 30 in, and should be plenty of space for them even after they are full grown. Once the cage was fully set up I put Lily and Dixie inside to check it out. They seemed to like the set up of their new home. Thanks again Heather for the awesome bunnies!!!

Dog Show

So this weekend Mom and I were entered in a dog show (Saturday and Sunday). The rally Course on Saturday was not a good course, and the signs were too close together. The first sign was a moving down, and I literally took one step to the sign. To make matters worse Gracie had already decided that she didn't feel like doing rally that day. When I told her to down she looked at me then looked around the ring and refused to down. The judge finally told me to just move on, so I did. Gracie stayed about two steps behind me the whole time and did everything else slowly and half heartily. When I left the ring I figured I had gotten an NQ, but some how Gracie got a 74 (barely qualifying). There were only two other people in the class so I got a 3rd place ribbon. Today was a lot better. Gracie did everything she was supposed to, and we took 1st place with a score of 97!!! We lost points because Gracie was a bit slow on some of the stuff, but all and all she did awesome today. (dogs that get a ribbon also get a toy)

Braces (and other things)

So I had to go to the orthodontist on Thursday... My orthodontist said that they had to put two wires on the top and the bottom now instead of just one. Then he also said that they were just doing the final touches!!! =] So what that mean is that I should be able to get my braces off in 3 or 4 months. I can't wait!!! Sorry, no pictures. I really don't feel like waiting 20 minutes for them to load. :/ So about Westside... The school is ok, and I have made several new friends. However school is school and there is not much to say about that. As you know my birthday is Oct. 13 (I know it's early to be talking about it), and I am planning to have another birthday slumber party this year. I am planning to have it on Oct. 23... Also I have entered Gracie in the rally show on Oct. the 17th and 18th!!! Maybe this time I will actually do all of the signs instead of getting NQ for missing one. hmmm... I think that sums up everything...

Cutest Dog Competition

So I entered Gracie in a cutest dog competition where the winner gets one million dollars. =) She has already made it to round two, but I would really like it if you would go online and vote for Gracie once a day. The address to the website is below, but the link doesnt work so you will have to copy and paste it. If you enter you dog let me know and I will vote for you dog. Thanks so much!!! =] Just so you know the picture takes a few seconds to load so just wait on it.

Gracie and the Fresh Green Beans

As you all know mom have a garden and she always gets some good stuff out of it. Well today she picked green bean. She cut the stems off and occasionally gave the dogs one. Gracie loved them!!! She looked funny eating them though because they didn't fit in mouth properly.
