You know, even when you are tired and worn out by life, as sometimes it does wear thin, it just keeps on keeping on. Once again I did not want to post this, as it is not all that good really. On September 4, we had to make the very hard decision to put King Solomon to sleep. What a great dog he was!! I mean, we thought we had picked out the runt, so as not to have a huge Great Dane. BUT NO...that boy got up to 242 lbs and that is where he hung out for most of his life. Our vet told us that we would be lucky to get him to 8 or 9 years old....when he passed, he was about 6 weeks from his 12th birthday. Did I mention he was a great dog? He is the only pet we had that lived with all of our children. I for one shall miss him the most. He was after all, My Dog, Given to me for Christmas 1995 by Merrill. You just can't go out and get another King Solomon.
I am not too sure that it gets much better than this at this stage of life. I wanted to post this yesterday, but I just ran out of time. Merrill and I received a letter informing us that LisaMarie was in the second grade math Olympics at school. Now this in and of itself is a huge accomplishment. Only the top five students from each class were chosen. So Merrill took off and I got a babysitter for MacGyver. Off we went. Now I am a little sadden to say that we did not really expect much to happen. We felt it an honor that LisaMarie had made it this far. We got there a little early, got a good seat and sat back to enjoy the competition. Oh my, let me tell you we were on the edge of our seats after about three rounds. LisaMarie was faster than we even knew she could be. She was confident, poised and all together in control, not like her parents sitting out in the crowd. Maybe it helps to be the only girl at home with so many boys, you tend to have it more together than most....LOL. Roun

I am so sad to hear that King Solomon had to be put down. He was the best dog ever! I loved him. I can’t think about this long as I am starting to cry.
I am so excited to hear about this nomination. Keep me posted.
