I now have two puppies

You all know Kelsey: my family's adorable, annoying, and incredibly old yellow labrador.

Here she is doing what she does best: lounging around the house.

But perhaps you haven't heard my family has rescued a new puppy.

He is a 3-4 year old terrier mix, and my parents have decided to name him Jack Daniels, after the Tennessee whiskey.

This is not a joke.

I haven't met him yet, but I am told he loves car rides.

Jack was rescued from a puppy mill where he was a stud dog, and spent most of his life in a cage.

I personally don't think he could've been adopted by a more loving family.

I can't wait to go home and see both my puppies :)

I only have four more classes and one test until I am done with accounting, and I have already made my $2000 to get in state tuition.

All that's left for me to do is to get my Missouri license and go to the office and make it official. Then I will be an official Missouri resident in the eyes of the University of Missouri, though I will always call Chicago my home.

I really don't have much else to say, but I would like to share this long quote with everyone. I stumbled across it today, and I thought it was very lifting.

‎"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou


Well I actually have a long day ahead of me. After all how does one fit homework, Magic Mike, and pool time in one day.

Love, bear

P.S. I realize that my last post was about how Kelsey was going to be put down, but as you can see that is not the case. She is still a puppy at heart, and has made a recovery from her fall.
