Friday the 13th

We had a real Friday the 13th I'm afraid, and I'm very happy today is Sunday the 15th! It's a special day because it's Uncle Jason and Aunt YaYa's one year anniversary, so that is exciting.

On our Friday the 13th, our air conditioning went out at our house and condo, David Franklin got his first wasp sting, and I took Bella, our beloved beagle, to the vet for her shots because she was overdue. It is never easy for me to take a baby and a dog to the vet by myself and I was broken out in a sweat trying to keep DF from eating the dog treats, sticking his hands in the fish tank, and getting pummeled by another (not so friendly) dog that he ran up to greet. I finally made it back to the examination room and where they found 2 cancerous tumors that need to come out. I broke down in tears and felt like I was in Marley and Me, watching my son push his tractor up the walls, oblivious to this horrible news. I know she is just a dog, but we really love her, and it was a just a really bad day.

They think she will be fine after the short surgery to remove the tumors, that is scheduled for Tuesday, which is great news. We love our doggie so much and it seems like David Franklin has even grown in his affection for her. He follows her around everywhere laying on her, kissing her, and hugging her. If he's up in the bed, he says "Bella up, too." If he's in the bathtub, he says "Bella bath, too". First thing in the morning, he says "See Bella" and she is his very best friend. She is a wonderful dog and we love her, dearly.

The good news, the AC at home is working and is better at the condo. The wasp sting was no biggie and he got over it in 5 minutes with a little extra TLC and a Popsicle. We have had a nice weekend and gotten some great time together before school starts next week. I go back to teaching my two classes and DF goes back to First Methodist which will be good for both of us. Bella will have her surgery, and should have a big week too, but hopefully it will be smooth and she will be good as new in no time!
