Farewell to Paks

Our brown puppy Paks has been relocated. As fun as it is to have up to five dogs in the house at once things have been getting hectic. I'm writing articles for the North Battleford News Optimist, and I am now subbing on a pretty regular basis (last Friday, today and tomorrow). There was never any doubt in our minds that it would have to be Paks. Anne is fused to Bryan with super-super glue, and Kaylee stresses out when I stay in the bathroom longer than sixty seconds (she has some abandonment issues).
So Paks was given to Dad and Mom Andrews, to be a companion for their dog Ianthe. She is settling in nicely and the dynamic in our household has certainly changed! Anne is a lot more playful now because of it.
I'm really glad Paks is staying in the family - I do miss her.
Today and tomorrow I'm "Mrs. Jimmy, the grade three teacher". I have enjoyed myself tremendously and I think my kids are fabulous. In fact, I have been having so much fun I am very tempted to go back to University for an Education degree. Near impossible right now with our budget the way it is, but we'll see. At least I get to sub.

Jen Andrews, Snubber.. oops. i mean subber, of course, because i know you would never snub anybody. I am so proud of you Jen, that's my girl. I know that anything you attempt you do very well at, and this is another one. Good on ya.
I know you will miss Pax, but i am glad you will still be able to see her occasionaly.

Cool that you are writing articles for the News-Optimist. I was the sports reporter there until October when I relocated to BC to be an editor of another paper.
