Filling up nicely.

School's in for the boys. And Calvin and I are figuring out what to do with our 7am-3pm alone time. I found a couple of things...#1 Roxy. She's our new dog. We have had her for almost a week. Already she is proving to be smart, loyal, gentle, protective, and fun. Calvin and I have been spending (and will spend) a ton of time leash training her. She is really strong! And when she first came to us last week she would pull me and the jogger stroller down the street. I think she could be a tracking dog...she follows tracks. Well, she is learning fairly quickly that the pulling thing is a no go! Matt and I have been doing research on line and one technique is when she pulls even a little on the leash we stop and don't go a single step further until she stops pulling and looks at me. This has proven to work wonders in a short amount of time. With patience, of course.

#2 I landed two cleaning jobs here in town yesterday. Calvin can come with me. AWESOME! And #3, on Mondays I still watch "The Lilleys Three" (my friend's kids from a couple of blocks away) So, our time is filling nicely. Not too much, just enough and a little cash on the side doesn't hurt my feelings!
