Homework

It’s Sunday and I’m still working on the outline for my final paper. Served me right for spending two plus hours at the dog park this afternoon. It’s darn cold out yet I wanted to take the boys to the park. My thinking was to have them run free in the park without a leash. Walking them with a leash is a pain in the neck especially Ranger. A little history on Ranger. We adopted Ranger from his breeder in 2002. He was sent for any obedience class. When we brought him home to be Cooper’s brother, Ranger was a loner. He would play with Cooper for a while and his attention span last about 10 minutes. When it comes time to walk, he is just everywhere – left, right, center, back and forth. He’s a little bit better now but at times he’s back to his old habit. Ranger loves to eat. Ranger and Cooper are labrador retrievers, they love to eat. However, Ranger is an extremist. He will look for anything on the ground that can be eaten to eat. He is really one of a kind.

So, I took them to the park, freezed my butt off for 2 hours, came home and putzed around in the kitchen with DB. Finally, settled on my chair at 4 and worked on the team project. Being a part time student is really no fun. There is a lot of commitment and sacrifice to get the studying mode going. The class I’m taking is an accelerated class which is 7 weeks. Tomorrow will be the 4th week and 3 more to go. Yee hah! Few weeks to kick back and work on my scrapbooking before the next class starts on Jan 15th (I think). Next class is a traditional 16-week course. Will have more time to work on my homework and readings.

For now, the final paper outline is temporary on hold due to snoozing time. I’m off tomorrow. Will have to bust my butt to get the outline totally complete to hand it in in the evening.
