Okay: Before I get to the content of this article, I must tell you this one thing: We have reached a milestone on this blog! With this post, there are 100 posts on this blog! And 100 posts in less than a year! (Early June marks me operating this blog for a year.) Anyway, thought y’all might like to know…
Lauren’s been having a blast! Why? Well, in a nutshell we got my service dog a new toy! It’s kind of like a hollow cone (called a “Kong”) that you can put dog treats in, and then the dog gets them out. Lauren’s had one years ago, and she defiantly hasn’t forgotten what to do with a Kong!
She plays with that Kong by the hour (well, almost) trying to get the treats out.
The reason we got my dog a Kong is because we realized that Lauren needed something to do while she’s in her kennel while we go away. We learned that she was barking (a BIG no-no for her) and drooling in stress. So we’re now trying to take her more places with us. And when she has to go in her kennel, we put a peanut-butter filled cow bone and/or a Kong with treats with her so Lauren has something to do.
So much for that. Today Dad put in the second of 2 gates in our backyard.
Dad, Alison and I also are playing today a game of croquet, which is a lot of fun. I haven’t played that game for at least 5 years! ;)
I also worked on my chemistry class today. Currently I’m learning about energy, heat and temperature. The subject’s challenging, but I am learning it.
One more thing I gotta tell y’all before I close off this post! Tomorrow night Dad and I are going to the Tennessee Aquarium for a photography class. I’ll get a chance to capture penguins, sharks, otters, butterflies, fish, and other animals too. I’m really excited! Wednesday there will DEFIANTLY be a post on this blog with the best of the photos I took at the Aquarium! ;)
Well, I think I’d better go. More later….
