Day Two Hundred Twenty Nine - HAPPY 12/13/14

Happy 12/13/14 !!!!!!  Crazy huh?!  I hear this will be the only time in our lifetime that we'll see this happen.  Pretty neat ;}

Woke up early this morning, got ready and did another 3 miles today ;}  Feels so good to be back out there!!  Lisa came with me.  She hasn't exercised in about a month.  Yes she really slacked off.  She's been busy with school and work, but I told her she really needs to fit daily exercise in there.  I think she kinda got lazy there.  I know she can balance it all out because she's done it before.  She just let the "rest days" pile up and turn into weeks, then months.  See that's what I was afraid of.  I was complaining of Not exercising all week when my foot was injured.  I'm so glad that I'm back at it.  My heel is still kinda bothering me, but not when or after I walk.  Just when I sit down after standing up for a while, or if I put too much pressure on it.  Other than that, it's pretty good.

So it was pretty cloudy today...and it rained :(  I don't mind rain, in fact I love the rain...but only in the summer time!!  Right now, I'm hoping for SNOW!!!  I really want snow, but for some reason, in the area I live, it never snows.  And just in this particular area too lol.  Crazy! 

Well we had our final practice at church tonight for the Christmas Program tomorrow night.  It went really good.  The kids all did great!  A few things they need to fix, but I got with them on all of those tonight.  Tomorrow night is the dance!!  I'm sure it will go great.  I got the whole thing lined up and know what we're gonna do.  Pastor asked me something tonight.  He asked me if I thought about doing this kind of thing as a separate ministry and going to different churches and places like Child Haven and performing puppet skits and stuff like that for them.  I have to admit, it was rather intriguing!  I never thought about that before.  It was just an idea he gave me.  Definitely something to think about!  All in all though, the practice went very well and I'm proud of my kids out there.  They're all doing great!!

After I got home I fed my animals, which I do every night.  I'm so glad my animals get food every night no matter what.  I also constantly made sure they were dry today during the rain.  I fixed up Cody's place over there and made a hut for him with a tarp over it so he was super dry there.  So was Cooper, he has a really dry and nicely made doghouse.  The cats have their own house with a heat lamp installed and they love it.  They're both always in there sleeping and just lounging.  I put some plastic over the top of their house as a rain guard just to assure no water got in there.  So they're really secured for the winter.  I had a German Shepherd back in 2011.  He was my first Shepherd.  I named him JETT.  He was a huge pure-bred Shepherd and he was all black.  The only brown were his feet.  He was the coolest looking dog.  I paid lots of money for him and bought him from these breeders out in Colorado.  His ears were so tall and everyone said he looked like a werewolf because he was all black and had tall ears, plus he was huge!  He was so gentle though.  Just a big baby!  I bought him t-shirts and stuff to wear, especially during Halloween.  I had him from when he was a puppy up till about 8 or 9 months, I can't remember now.  But he was actually stolen from me in November of 2011.  The last I saw him was that day.  Lisa and I went up to have dinner.  He came over to the truck and jumped up on my window.  I lowered my window and pet him, then rubbed his huge feet and long claws.  He looked at me all sad that I was leaving, but I told him I'd be back and that he needed to stay home.  We left about 4pm that day.  When we got home it was around 6:30pm.  I didn't see him when we got home.  He had a bad habit of running off and playing in the area between my place and my mom and dad's place, sort of over there where I walk everyday.  I didn't think anything of it, I just thought he'd be home but when 8pm and 9pm came around and he was not home, I began to get worried.  He never stayed out that late.  Well the next day nothing so I went looking for him.  We searched and searched.  For days, weeks we looked for him every where.  We never found him :(  I am 100% sure that somebody stole him and it angers me everytime I think of it.  I just hope whoever took him is giving him a wonderful life.  I hope they weren't some assholes who used him for dog fighting or some prick who just took him home and tied him up to a 5 foot chain in their shitty trailer park backyard where he'll probably spend his whole life wondering why he's there :'(  I miss my JETT so bad.  I hope wherever he is, if he's still alive, that he still thinks of me and I hope to God that he knows I didn't give him away and that I will always love him.  He was my dog and a part of my family that was taken from me.  Anyway, the point of all this is about a week or so prior to losing him, I bought him this Christmas collar, well it's not a collar, but rather this stretchy red collar looking thing that has bells on it.  It's really Christmasy and for animals.  I don't know what it is, but anyway I bought it for JETT.  He was wearing it a couple days before he was stolen.  He always took it off somehow.  Anyway I found that collar thing over by my mom and dad's place.  I wanted to put it back on him, but never got the chance.  Anyway I packed it away with the Christmas stuff.  Tonight I found it as I was finishing decorating the tree.  So, I took it outside and gave it to my champ, Cody.  I let Cody smell it, then I asked him to wear it.  I said it was JETT's and that I want him to have it now.  He let me put it on him and he looks really good wearing it.  That red really matches his coat.  Cody is the typical German Shepherd color.  He's Big too and I know he's bigger than JETT was.  Cody is Huge!!  The only black on him is on his back and a little black on his face.  He's really protective now.  He gets really mean when strangers come around, mostly my brother.  He does not like my brother for some reason.  But yeah I gave him JETT's Christmas Collar thing and he's out there wearing it right now.  I hope he doesn't take it off.  Now's he's got a little bit of his older brother with him.  They weren't related, but they would've been if I still had JETT.  I'll always miss him, but I never neglect Cody.  He gets just as much love as JETT did and more, so does my little man, Cooper.  I love my animals so much!

Ok I kinda went on a bit there lol.  Well that was my day.  Tomorrow will be good because it's the Christmas Program.  I'll be so happy when it's over and I don't mean that in a bad way.  I'm just tired and ready for a long Christmas break from doing this all.  So much work in Hallowed Eve 7, the Christmas Float, and now the Program.  I'm glad I did it all this year.  Last year, so much problems arose that I had to cancel the Program.  Not this year though ;)  I'm sure it'll go Awesome!!  Lookin forward to it very much.  Ok, time for sleep.  Until tomorrow, Goodnight!
