Going "Naked"

I woke up this morning to let Lucye out of her kennel and noticed something odd about her. At first I thought it was because I didn't have my glasses on (because I've lost them) and then I thought I was delusional because of my sinus issues. Here is what Lucye looked like this morning:

You may not notice anything different so here is another picture to compare (Hint: she's missing something she wears)

That's right. She didn't have her collar. I thought that was weird because she had it on when she went to bed. So I went back to her kennel and pulled out her bed and found this:

She chewed through her collar! It wasn't loose on her so how she got her teeth around something on her neck is beyond me. I have no time to get her a collar today so I guess she will go "naked" until then. Just how she likes it.

Jason's Triathlon

Jason's first triathlon of the season was this morning in Benbrook. He did really well and his official time was 1 hour and 25 minutes. That's impressive in my book since I wouldn't even make it out of the water! Two of his really good friends from PT school also were in the race, Josh and Ryan, and it was so good to see them and Abby and Amy (wife and fiance, respectively). We found out that Josh's wife is pregnant!! Whohoo!! We are so excited for them and they will make great parents. Here are a few pics from the day:

Jason in the transition zone - none of the pics that I took of him running or biking by really turned out well so we're waiting for the official photographers of the event for those =)

Ryan's son being placed in the chair holder - he thought it was hilarious!

And this is what Lucye thought of the race at around the three hour mark. She loved it at the beginning and was so excited to see all the people but then it started to get really windy and sprinkle a bit. She stayed wrapped up in my sweatshirt for the last hour until the park opened up to leave at 10:30. 

  

Hello Blogging World!

I've decided to try out this blogging thing. I love reading all my friends blogs and thought this would be a great way to keep in touch with people and for family and friends that don't live close to know what's going on - just in case I forget to tell them about it on the phone. =)I've tried all week to come up with some clever first post but my allergies have been so bad this week that my brain has been in a cloud from all the medicines. So this will have to do =). But don't worry my friends - I'll be back tomorrow. Before I go, here's a pic of Lucye's first walk outside! She finally got all her vaccinations so we can take her out with no fears of getting parvo or some other nasty disease. She really enjoyed it. And please forgive the white legs, I can't help it.
