Summer Classes & Dog Sitting

I started summer classes on Monday. I have to go everyday--even Fridays! At least it's only for four weeks. It's 9 credits in four weeks (teaching with the arts and 2 SPED classes), so I'm sure I'll be busy, but it will be okay. It's already looking better. My SPED (Special Education) professor lives in Bloomington and decided to only have our afternoon classes on Monday and Tuesdays, leaving our Wednesday and Thursday afternoons open. We'll have to do more reading and forums now, but at least we won't be stuck at campus. I'm getting back into the routine of school. I enjoy not taking classes but I always feel a little lost when I'm on break. Plus it's good to see all my friends that I don't get to see when school is out. I'm falling back into a routine, which is good. I'm busy but happy.

Zeus is also here for a couple weeks. Jaime is going to Tennessee so we're dog-sitting and I think he'll be here until she picks him up when she comes up for the Fourth of July. Sammy always enjoys having the company over, although I'm not sure he appreciates her jumping on him all the time. It's been so hot they usually lie around all day and are more active in the evening. We don't usually take our walks until 9pm. On our walk last night Zeus decided to poop in the middle of the road while he was still walking. It was like a horse--and the poop was probably as big as horse's poop! A couple kids rode by on their bikes and saw the poop and started shouting "hey, someone pooped in the road!" Then a couple of adults started repeating what their kids were saying. I was mortified. Here I am, walking two dogs down the road, couldn't possibly have been one of my dogs that pooped in the road. I couldn't get down the block fast enough. And yes, I know dog walking etiquette says to pick up your dog's waste, but if you know Zeus, then that's all that needs to be said.
