Peace in the Rash House

Loki had gotten very comfortable living with us. We have had him at home for 3 weeks now, he has gained over a pound and found his voice. He knows which cats he can play with and which ones he can't and he also has figured out that Brandon and Drew don't make him mind.

But we love him to death.

High School

Well...

I thought I had convinced myself that I was ready for Drew to start High School this fall, but...I was wrong.

Last night was Freshman Orientation Night. I think it was more for us parents than the kids. Anyway, Drew and I went and it was a lot of fun at first. We all sat in the gym and watched the different performances, then it was time to walk around and check out all the different clubs/sports/activity groups he could join/sign-up for. We were having a pretty good time (I hate crowds) checking out the Media club, football, and baseball when 2 girls from the Mock Trial team made a beeline for Drew. They were cute, typical teenage girls. The were talking to Drew about joining the Mock Trial team. Poor Drew, he was clueless as to what was happening, just as I was at first. Like I said typical teenage girls. You remember girls, when you were that age and you saw a guy you thought was cute, but you were to afraid/shy to go up and talk to him, so your friend, like it or not drug you over to stand there and look like a bump on a log while she chatted up with romeo, continually dropping hints that you liked him, all the while he is oblivious to what is really going on. So there we stand the 4 of us and it dawns on me what is happening when the one girl, trying to "convince" Drew that Mock Trial was for him says, "And you can meet cute girls, like her..." as she glances over at her friend, who is now turning a slight shade of red.

Okay, so it's about this time I realize I am not ready for Drew to go to High School. These girls are flirting away, Drew is oblivious, and I all of a sudden realize that I'm getting old. This is not going to be as fun as I thought. I start really looking around at all the other parents and really notice that everyone looks soooo old. OMG, this can't be happening to me, I don't look like, I can't look like all these other parents, I'm only 34!!!!!

So as I sit here in my corner, rocking back and forth chanting...I'm not ready for this, I'm not ready for this, Drew us taking great pleasure in continually reminding me that there is not a damn thing I can do about it.

Got to love those teenagers.

Loki

Loki

This is Loki at 10 weeks old. He is a true hairless, so he will only have the hair on the top of his head, his feet and on his tail. What you see is what you get, it will only get longer. He has fit in just fine around here. The cat's have figured out he is not a threat, only the occasional pest. At only about 2lbs he is considerably smaller that all of our cats, who range from 8-15lbs. Full grown Loki is only going to get to about 5-8lbs, but you can't tell him that. Although he was a "pocket puppy" when we got him and we have only had him for a week, we have been working with him to make him less dependent. He will now sleep on the couch without having to have one of us sit with him. We are working with him on potty training. He uses the piddle pads about 90% of the time, but you have to watch him. He sleeps under the covers with me and is quite happy to sleep in in the morning. He does ask to get down off the bed to use the potty and he will growl and bark if you knock on the door, then he will lick and puppy bite you to death.
