When we went camping in Iowa, the tents were set up just a little ways down the road from the cabin - that ended up not sleeping as many as it proffered to. Our tent was just a few steps from Megan and Jason's, and so they threated us, as we did them: no heavy breathing, please. The second night Erin slept in a tent-cot next to Megan and Jason's tent. And so, we could all hear eachother, and conversation kept going despite our going to bed - and more accurately, we were listening (and laughing) at Megan and Jason's loving bickering. Which included Megan complaining about the street light camped out next to us, shining brightly onto our tents - a minute later and Jason is pulling his truck around in front of their tent, trying to put some shade on their tent (which was rather unsuccessful), Megan telling him to get back to bed. As things started to settle down, Megan starts mumbling again, which turns into "What is that? Did you hear that? Izzy? EWWW. Jason!" Which we all question what's going on, when I sit up and see Jason stepping out of their tent, shaking out thier dog's blanket, and then leaving it on the ground outside. We were all laughing like crazy as Megan whined about dog vomit, and informed Izzy that she was sleeping on the ground now, and that is what she gets for throwing up on her doggie bed.
This has been a really crazy weekend. Thursday J got a call from a breeder he had been speaking to 3 or 4 months ago. We were going to go look at a puppy of his (with no real intention of buying) back then, but when we called the breeder said he just sold the last female 2 hours previously. Then on thursday he called to tell J that a buyer backed out last minute and J has first chance at getting her, so Friday we went to see her. She was discounted for us (and b/c she is older now, I think) and much more affordable - and so we brought her home, and her name is Sugar. Sug (shoog) for short. She is very sweet and calm, and listens really well. She is a yellow lab, and for all of you who have read the book or watched the movie - yes, we bought the "clearance puppy"! And actually we stopped at Blockbuster to return some movies and a big Marley & Me poster was in the window and M said :"Is that a picture of Sugar?" - I hope not! Saturday was the last 50 cen...
