I really need to update more....

Sorry all! I'm getting worse and worse at updating this!

Last week was Mother's Day weekend. Since Pat has successfully completed chemo and radiation and is just finishing up herceptin treatments, we decided to walk in the Race for the Cure at Mall of America. We had a team of about 20 people who were walking or running on our team "The Queens' Court". Pat and her girlfriends call themselves the "Queens". Since we had some husbands participating, we thought "The Queens' Court" would be more appropriate. We did the 5K walk and it was a BEAUTIFUL day! We had such a great time and the walk went so fast! We really appreciated all of our friends who walked and took time on Mother's Day to support Pat and all other survivors who walked! Afterwards, we had brunch at Pat's house, which was yummy, as always!

We came home to a "remodeled" room courtesy of Nemo. He managed to push out the entire front panel of his metal kennel, got out, chewed up our blinds, ripped apart one of Bobby's belts, peed and random other things. Oh and he locked himself in the room. After calming down, we went to my parents' house to have dinner with them. We brought Nemo to meet the family and he did really well. We found a barrier to put up between the main level and the basement, so Nemo could roam around a little bit.

Nemo has since gotten out of his metal kennel again. We put padlocks all around and he still bent the metal back enough to crawl out. Needless to say, that kennel went back and he's back to his original hard-cover kennel. Our obedience teacher recommended Benadryl for his separation anxiety. Last night, Karen brought her dog, Buster over for a playdate. We gave him Benadryl before they came and he was perfectly tame. Same thing happened when Pat came over today to meet him. So we're hoping that when we go out tonight, the Benadryl will calm him down while we're gone, not just when we're here. If the Benadryl is not successful, we'll have to bug you all for more suggestions!

Overall, things are going really well. Bobby started his summer class on Thursday and decided he prefers morning class, thank goodness! That means this fall he'll have, at most, one night class (assuming he can't get a morning class on Fridays), and we'll actually see each other more than we did before! We're going up north next weekend with my parents, and summer will have officially begun!!
