Pepper had his 1st birthday on October 8. We didn’t celebrate it on that day – Jeremy was out of town and we were super busy. Instead, we celebrated on the weekend. Ellie and Madison had made signs for him and wrapped gifts. Ellie gave him a cloth chicken/duck; it was destroyed in less than a week… maybe in a day.
Madison gave him a bone; this one is still going strong. Whenever he gets a toy, he takes it and runs under our blue chair… which is also where he goes when he has something he shouldn’t.
I think he feels untouchable under there. I don’t know when he is no longer considered a puppy and will do away – magically – with all the bad puppy habits. I was hoping at 1. Most people are telling me 2. He is getting better, but he is still not where we would like him to be. I think it is partly our fault…
We have enjoyed hiking at Kidron Park Woods recently. It is a good route for the dog with lots of exploring even on leash. And it is beautiful in the fall.
The girls still enjoy reading – together and alone. This particular night, they were reading in unison this classic – Sing, Sophie! It was entertaining and pretty well done.
Finally, Ellie really wanted Jeremy to come talk for Career Day at school. So, he made it happen. She was super proud that he came. He had a 20 minute time slot – 20 minutes to talk to 2nd graders about being an environmental scientist. 20 minutes! He did a great job. He got some swag from his company as well as Soil and Water Conservancy to pass out, created his first Google Slide presentation, and made a coloring sheet for them. (Well, I made the coloring sheet, but …) I am glad he was able to do this.
