Friday was an eventful day at our house. We had some of Owen's friends and their families over for dinner. As we were prepping for their arrival, I asked Jer to take Griffin out to the triangle park and throw him some balls in hopes of wearing off some of his energy. Well, a ball went into the street as a car was coming down and Griffin ended up getting hit by the car. Griffin's right shoulder got hit and he rolled away from the car, thankfully. Jer said it was the worst thing he's ever seen. He came limping over to Jer as a neighbor's dog got loose and attacked Grif. Jer and some neighbors got the dog off Griffin and Jer brought him home completely shook up. He was limping and obviously exhausted from it all. We watched him carefully through the night and on Saturday he was about 70% back. By Sunday you would never have known anything had ever happened to him. He is one tough dog. To date he has survived blastomycosis, an abusive first family, and now being hit by a car. I get frustrated by him and his havoc he often causes, but after an event like that, I realize just how special he is to us and why we fight to keep him.
My grandparents arrived here from Kauai on Saturday, just in time for the cool weather. We spent Sunday with my family and will be doing more of that in the coming weeks. I'm really looking forward to our annual talent show. Owen is quite excited about it, as he seems to win year after year. Walter might be ready to give him a run for his money this year, though.
The boys and Jer went with his family to a very artsy mini-golf course on Saturday. It sounds like it was pretty spectacular, as I'm still hearing about the different holes.
I'm pretty much living and breathing Great Gala right now. I actually need to get working on it now...
