One year older!

One more year, one more birthday, a little older, a little wiser. It's almost over! I had a very nice birthday this year! Jerry got me a sweet new puppy! Tish and Geri Alice got me a little bitty crate for my little bitty dog and a gift certificate for Petsmart so I can get more puppy stuff! Aaron and Ashley took Jerry and me out to eat on Friday night to OUTBACK. My favorite steak place!!! To celebrate my birthday and Father's Day! I got several phone calls wishing me a happy birthday!
All in all, it was pretty nice! I'm glad it is over. Now, we can get on with the rest of the year.
Mocha is getting sweeter and more adventurous every day! She is so tiny, it is a blast watching her play and run. We already have her crate trained. She goes to sleep almost immediately when I put her to bed. I got a playpen to put her in during the day while I am at work and she really doesn't seem to mind being confined for the length of time I am gone, but when I get home, she is ready to get out and play!
Jerry is already attached to the tiny pooch! I think she reminds him of Hershey, our little female chihuahua, that we lost several years ago to old age. She was Sami's mom. She was such a sweet little thing and we both really miss her!

It was great to have Aaron home for a little while! He looks so good! It is obvious that the Army has been good for him. He has put on nearly 40 pounds! I know that sounds weird, but he weighed 167 when he joined up and at 6'3", that is pretty thin. He weighs 205, now and it is all muscle!
Ashley is so sweet! She adores Aaron. Anyone who sees them together can tell that right off! She also is sweet to me and Jerry. She loves to hug him just to hear him say, "YUK!" Aaron has changed in a good way. He has grown up so much, but there is still that playful, goofy side of him, that we all love!
I am going to miss him, again! But he will be back around Christmas.

An up-date from Shreveport!
Everyone is doing well. Eddy is feeling better. He is bored silly, being pretty much housebound until the doctor releases him to go back to work! Other than that he is almost back to his lovable self! Mom and Beth are doing well. They are enjoying the birds. Mom called to wish me a happy birthday and get a refresher on clipping her cockatiels wings. I really am happy she called! I am glad that they are enjoying having the birds and interacting with them!
Lexus is becoming more social, Eddy said she will let him pet her! That is great! Mom has also discovered that Lexus does't like hats! She gets really upset when someone wears a hat where she can see them! Eddy says, that is because it's bad manners to wear a hat in the house!

Well, it's bedtime! Thanks to you all for the birthday gifts and good wishes! I love you all!
