That's right...a snake was left on our porch for us.

No More!
We are in the middle of what has to be the latest snowstorm I've ever experienced. April 26th and the ground is white. 3 hours to the northwest of us they had 15 inches of white stuff overnight. Now, we're not supposed to get much more than an inch, but hello........it's been spring by the calendar for over a month now!
I've been swamped with school work, so have been MIA from the blog for awhile. 3 weeks until school is out for summer! I am taking one class this summer, but I don't see that it will be all that time consuming. :)
More dog/puppy news....
Zed started a canine boom in our family. My sister's family now has a black lab puppy named Bailey. Then my parents got into the action and got a 1.5 year old Miniature Pinscher dog named Maggie. See pictures to the side.

Another Dog Story - this time not so cute!
Sunday was a nice day here - sunny, 50 degrees, snow was almost gone in most places....
Given that all I do is work, study, and attend classes these days, I decided to go to the library to study statistics. Who wouldn't wnnt to swap their Sunday afternoon with mine? Anyway...Steve and I hit the library 10 mins before start time. We hung out and watched a guy drive up and get out with his dog. He was letting his dog get some running around time before he went to the library I guess.
We got out of our car and were getting our stuff out of the backseat when I saw the dog behind Steve. I mentioned him to Steve and when he turned to see, the dog JUMPED INTO MY CAR! Now those of you who know me, know that I have a relatively new red Honda Civic with a very light tan interior. And you might also have been admonished once or twice to be sure to keep the car clean as I'm a little uptight when it comes to "Little Red".
The dog started in the back seat and when his owner started yelling for him to get out of the car he jumped up front to the passenger seat and then back to the backseat. FINALLY he got out of my car. Remember how I said it was nice, 50 degrees and the snow was melting. I forgot to mention that at one point we heard the owner tell the dog to "get out of the mud." Yes, my car had muddy dog prints on the back and passenger seats of my light tan interior.
The owner gave us some money to get the car cleaned and we were all on our way. Thankfully Steve was there - otherwise I would have for sure lost my cool. Instead I didn't say a thing and that was probably for the best.
Speaking of dogs, Zed has climbed up on the couch as I type this. Not sure how this has happened, but he's so darn cute that it's a little hard to be strict and get him off the couch. He only gets on it when we're sitting on it and it's pretty much to lay in our laps. Given that I have a laptop on my lap, he's laying to the side. I'm not giving him enough room as he keeps nudging me. He's now snoring quite loudly.
Now that I've procrastinated, off to study.
