Ok, so i decided about a month and a half ago to take my honor's bio kids on a field trip. We talked about it and they were willing to come in on a sat to go (it is the only way my district will allow fieldtrips that are not sports or ethnic club related to happen -- wouldn't want them to miss educational opportunities in school!!) Anyway, we went to southwest wildlife (click on the name to see) it was too cool!! It is a rehab place in NE scottsdale. The animals we were able to see are ones that they can not reintroduce into the wild. They do have about a 70% reintroduction rate, which is huge! And, while we were there the wolves, coyotes and dogs started howling. The workers call it a "touchdown" because it sounds like you are at a football game for about 30 seconds. If you click on the link above and have your sound on, you can hear an example.
It was too cool!!
everything else is great! mike has moved onto a new clinic, i can't remember what it is right now, and I started my master's (only 7 more weeks of the current classes)
Mike also got another job. he is working at a pet store in PV mall. He has sold 5 dogs in 6 or 7 days. He was told last night that he just surpased their best salesman. He really likes the job and gets to play with puppies the whole time he is there. Odin I think is a bit jealous when he comes home, but that is ok too :)
well, better go -- love to all -- and hey roger, some of that vacation time could be used to come a bit further south :) They repainted Jordan's, you won't even recognize the inside!!

Erin,
Thanks so much for the update. We were starting to wonder if you all had melted down with the heat, no rain and the pressure of motorcycle school & master's classes!
What an amazing field trip. It makes Pam & I miss the coyotes, javelina & frogs on our field trips there in Mesa. Mostly though, we miss you guys!! Keep up on the hard work in your classes and we WILL find a way down to visit, come hell or high water. Oh wait, you are in hell and there is no danger of high water. Anyway, we will get there.
Mike, no bringing home the merchandise!! Odin will think it is either a plaything or a snack. Congratulations on the job. Of course you are great at it. Working with people, selling things, working with pets -- it's a natural for you! That and motocycles.
I love you guys and miss you so much. Hope to see you before too long. Love, Dad
Well your monthly blog is coming due...If you notice your last three have been about a month apart...so I figure you have about another week before you post another one. Much love
Erin,
It was great to talk to you today (4/23), thanks for calling back. It was good to hear about everything that is going on with you, Mike and your family.
Mike, I am so very proud of everything that you are doing!! Keep up the great work. Call when you get a chance. Love, Dad
Hi Erin,
Today 5/14 is Mother's day. I was thinking of all of the wonderful women in my life and thought of you. I hope you are having a wonderful day! Tell Mike that his Dad says he needs to spoil you more. Anyway, just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you and wishing the best in everything for you. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my son. Love, Roger
Mike and Erin, where are you? Busy as ever. Let us know, how was the war in California? Mom said you've been. And I hear school is still going great for you both. Would love to see an update on the old Blog...we think of you often, wish you were closer, love you lots! Take care!
