I can't believe it's already June!

Well it's another rainy day in Vermont!  Molly is off this week...she had a final grade of all A's in all her classes so she didn't have to take any final exams.  She's been to graduation practice twice this week, picked up her cap and gown and is looking forward to Friday!  Graduation is at 7pm.  We plan on going out to dinner tonight to celebrate at the Fair Haven Inn.  She had her awards banquet last week and was thrilled to get a $2500 scholarship from the Rutland hospital auxiliary, $1000 from the towns community service scholarship, and $1000 scholarship from the Castleton Lions Club!  Not bad, huh? !!  We are soooo proud of her!


We went to Burlington last Sunday to Costco's as it was rainy and miserable.  I think everyone in Burlington had the same idea!  We got lot's of great deals though, great fruits and vegetables..  


Austin is going to get a visit from his brother on the 29th.  The breeder wanted to come and see him, should be interesting.  He's really slowing down, we've had to shorten our walk lengths significantly.  He still is happy and comfortable, very deaf, but eating and drinking well.  He still goes for acupuncture, but only once a month now.  He still seems to improve alot after the treatment and actually seems to enjoy it. 


Kacee is well, we were pleased to not have had any colic episodes this summer and then Monday morning when I went out to feed her she seemed a bit off...just standing and seemed to be covered in mud from rolling.  Sure enough she started doing that thing with her upper lip, (curling and sucking in air) a sign of colic.  When I touched her side she immediately tried to kick and put her ears back as her stomach hurt.  I got Molly and we finally managed to get some Banamine in her.  She hates it, it's a paste and you have to squirt it in her mouth.  It would be fine except she keeps trying to throw her head and rear.  Anyway I went to work and Molly let me know that she was eating and drinking in a few hours and seems fine since.

We decided to try the Verizon extender at our home.  It's a device that hooks into your router, and gives you a cell signal.  We had no cell service at our house, now we have 4 bars!  We ended up joining a family plan so we each have phones now.  John got the very basic phone (a $50 phone, with a $50 rebate so ended up getting it for free)  Molly and I got Envy Touch phones)  I think it will be nice when she goes to school...all verizon to verizon phones contacts are free.  I really wanted a droid but couldn't justify the extra charge for internet access per month.  People at work have droids and they have medical applications that they use everyday at work on their phones.  


The e.r. gave Molly a surprise graduation party with pizza and gifts.  She's been volunteering for over 5 years and has over 1000 hours of time!  


Well hopefully we can start enjoying the summer, I'm trying not to work extra at the hospital.  Hopefully we can ride, fish and just relax a little.
