OH Bruno!

Well, this morning could have been one of the worst things that could happen to one of our dogs. I was getting ready upstairs and Nick had just arrived home from work and was making breakfast. Next thing I knew I heard Bruno barking and growling so fierce and I didn't know what happened and then I was hearing Nick yell at the top of his lungs outside. Things quieted and I went on with my business. Then Nick came upstairs to go to bed. He said he was making breakfast and saw Bruno at the fence just barking and growling at something and the next thing Nick knew Bruno was over the fence and lo and behold he was going after a coyote. Luckily and I mean luckily the coyote was scared of him and ran off but Bruno continued to chase. Nick was able to call Bruno back and the coyote disappeared. These animals travel in packs and thank God there wasn't more of them. Bruno was not backing down and things could have been very ugly. I have friends who have dogs that attacked coyotes and ended up very hurt. Sometimes it is nice backing up to a wooded area, but with times like these I wished we had a home behind us. I am glad Bruno has a enough sense to listen and came back.

What a slow week!

Well, I have only been working for 2 days now and I am ready for it to be over with. It feels like this week has gone by so slow. I have to work 3 more days and then it is vacation time. I can't wait! Nick is off starting tomorrow and doesn't have to go back to work until June 1. I am off Saturday and don't have to go back until June 3. Memorial Day will be spent with friends at the Boskovich's Memorial Day party and then we leave Tuesday afternoon for Las Vegas. Nick and I have done research and have decided on 2 shows that we want to see. The first one is called Defending the Caveman. It basically discusses the differences between men and women. Everyone can probably guess I picked that one. Nick chose a comedian which he thought I would like. His name is the Amazing Johnathan. As Nick put it, "he is hilllarious." We will see on that one. We can't wait to relax, eat great food and just have a great time. We have never been to vegas together so this will be an experience. For Nick and I it was has been 9-10 years since we have been back. I've heard Vegas has changed. Can't wait to lounge by the pool and see these great shows. I will have tons of pictures to show when I get back.
