Moab!

The countdown is on! So we have decided to try and fit in as much fun as we possibly can. Instead of packing this past weekend we went to Moab and took Zephy on her first big hike. She was a real trooper hiking all 4 miles by herself. (Pretty good for someone that only weighs 5 pounds)

EMT - Intermediate

After lots of preperation and hard studing, Keri passed her EMT Intermediate yesterday! We went to the Olive Garden and used some gift cards we had to celebrate. The Local Red Cross in Coos Bay has Keri all lined up to teach Emergency First Responce at the community college and the local Police Department. So now all she needs to go to Safety School (SLC this year) and get the Emergency Fisrt Responce - Instructor cirtification, but she is on top of that sort of thing and has it all under controll.

Rescue Diving

Keri and I finished our PADI - Rescue Diver course this past weekend. We went to "Beautiful" Blue Lake in Wendover. The rescue diver course was alot of fun, we are now prepared to handle a dive emergency should one arrise. We took the puppies with us on the trip (Luckily Days Inn allow's pets), they had a good time at the lake. We built a bed in the back of the truck where they stayed while we were out in the water. The weather was beautiful! We saw a little sun and got a little sunburn.

A Change of Name

So the name of Lyra just wasnt sticking for the little puppy. We tried out a bunch of different names and we came down to Zooey and Zephy (Short from Zefiris) and right now Zephy is looking like the winner. Coaly and Zephy are getting along better and better each day. There is a whole lot of wrestling accompanied by much grr-ing and grunting, and subsequent sprinting through the house. The little puppy desprately needs a haircut but we can't get her professionaly groomed until she has had all her shots at 6 months of age. So this weekend we are hoping that Debi will help us give her a trimming.

Funny Story: Keri took the puppies out to pee as I was leaving for class in the car, Coaly was peeing while intently watching me leave. Zephy was unsure at to what Coaly was looking at intently and didnt look where she was peeing and peed on Coaly's foot. Once Coaly realized what had happened she grrr'd at Zephy and went inside with a wet foot.
