My little buddy Tucker

I am loving this weather! The high is 75, the low is 40...I think I could be happy with fall-like weather year round. We have been spending a lot of time outdoors lately, and I couldn't be happier. T has been playing lots of baseball, and I have to say, he may be a double threat! The kid can hit the ball pretty far for a 2 year old, and can throw it even further. But, I may be slightly partial. 

Last week was my fall break from school...Not that it was a great experience or anything. I still had class on Tuesday, just not Thursday. And we are already back in session. BOOO!!! I am ready for finance to be done with..I just hope I do okay in it.

Last night we had a pretty dramatic experience. Around 11:20pm, I am laying in bed about to turn the light off and try to get some sleep, when I hear Matt yell. I got up and asked what was wrong, and he said that he thought Tucker, our outside dog, got hit by a car. Now, Tucker is my dog that has decided to chase loud cars- whether it be that they make a lot of noise or just have their music up so loud you can hear it as they drive by. Otherwise, he stays in the yard or wonders around, never going too far. I start hitting panic mode, although trying to stay as calm as I can. We grab a flashlight and hit the door. We see some blood on the road, and as I venture down the long driveway across the street, Matt takes to the field. We are yelling for him, looking everywhere. After about 10 minutes, and still no sign of Tucker, we stop and listen. We hear a noise that he normally makes, and I run back towards the house. When I reach the end of the driveway, I see what looks to be Tuck in our yard. I run over and check to make sure he is okay. The only injury we could find was on his boy parts. After calling the emergency vet and explaining what Matt heard/saw, and the blood on the road, the vet tech thinks that it may just be a breeding wound. I am still a little concerned, but he is walking, eating, and drinking, and he let me feel of his whole body and didn't act like anything hurt. So, I am hoping and praying that is all and that in a few days or so, I will have my happy Australian shepherd/blue healer mix back.

      T and I made a visit to our local apple orchard Saturday. He loved it, and his apple cider slushie!
