Fires, ponds, and mini vans

So I am still driving the stupid rental van, I am praying they got my part over the weekend and my truck will be all fixed by Tuesday at the latest. I really miss it. Last night we had Andy and Tiffany over for dinner and a fire. Andy supplied us with deer meat (he killed it himself) and we supplied the veggies (picked just two hours before dinner from our garden). I did not like the deer meat so I had lobster and veggies although everyone else said Kevin did a great job cooking it and it tasted really good.

Kevin and Andy were really testing our neighbors limits. Everyone was a bit surprised no one called us in.

Today we stopped and picked up Silas' picture from the pup-nic and then went to Fox Island for some more swim time and this time Kevin joined little Silas for a swim. (It was much too cold for me to swim) We tried out his new life jacket. Kevin who was not a fan of Silas having a life jacket said that it did help Silas swim. I knew it was a good idea. However the jacket I bought for him on ebay was listed wrong which is why it is too big. I had looked up sizing and safety information on the outward hound brand (which is what this was listed as) so I thought it would fit him pretty well but the one I got is ruff wear brand and the sizing is much different. I think we are going to try to sell this one if ebay won't refund us and get him the one I had originally planned on. In other news we have officially accepted Program A's therapy training and we start August 19th. I am actually very nervous about going. The therapy training is no joke, it is intense and if you make more than a tiny mistake they ask you to leave the program. The first 12 week course won't be too bad as it is basically just preparing him for the actual therapy training. During the first 12 weeks we go over basic manners and therapy situations (getting used to being around wheelchairs and people with canes or crutches and people he doesn't know interacting with him) we will also be working on preparing for the CGC test. So keep us in your prayers and think good thoughts for us. 

This nasty thing was on my wheel the other morning








He was able to go much farther with his vest on


Nobody likes the van, not even Silas

Isn't he just the most adorable thing ever
