Somethings are hard to explain....

On Tuesday, we took Diamond to the Anti Cruelty Society of Chicago to have her spayed. It seemed to be a very dramatic experience for her. All the way to the Anti Cruelty Society (which is in Downtown Chicago -- 35 miles away), Diamond barked the whole way there. I am not sure if she was excited to be riding in the car or if maybe, she knew something was going on. Needless to say, by the time I made it there, I was going crazy. She was actually very good in the clinic, a bit excited, not that I could blame her! As the vet was getting ready to take Diamond, she gave me this look like "what's going on and I don't want to go with this bad man"! I felt bad, but knew this was something that needed to be done. We don't want any little "ones" running around the house!

I was able to pick her up later that afternoon. When I got to the clinic the vet technicians went over all of the instructions and then brought her out to me. As soon as I saw her, I almost cried. She looked so pitiful. She was all glassy eyed and definitely was not her normal "happy go lucky" self. The ride home was the exact opposite of the ride there, I had to keep looking back to make sure she was okay! When we got home, Rick came and helped carry her into the house and had a nice bed ready for her. Now here comes the interesting part....how to answer the 101 questions from AJ and Ashleigh. Of course, they wanted to know what happened and why and how....you know all of those good questions you sometimes don't know how to answer. So we explained the best we could about the hows and the whys, but somethings are just too hard to explain.

Poor Baby!

AJ has been doing pretty well in school! Although, he seems to have a lot more homework in 2nd grade! Last night, he worked on homework for about 1 1/2 hours! Craziness! AJ seems to be enjoying school and has made some new friends. Hopefully, he will continue to do well!

Ashleigh is learning how to write her letters and recognize them on paper. She is doing very well with it and seems very eager to learn. Although, her teachers do say she tends to be a little bossy! (Not Ashleigh! :))

Hopefully, we will have another relaxing weekend! We will probably try to do something outside. since we know that there are only a few more nice weekends left before the dreaded winter comes!

Hope everyone has a nice, relaxing weekend also!
