And I'm Back!

Sorry to those of you who are actually following this, waiting for the next episode of Amy (and sometimes Jarrod) take Texas, I have not had 2 minutes to sit and blog over the last few weeks.  School has kept me quite busy and when I get home it's grading and attention to the pup.  There hadn't been anything to really blog about prior to Labor Day weekend anyway, so you didn't miss anything :)

The Friday of Labor Day weekend was a great day however... Jarrod came for a visit!  Thanks to Bill who received free miles from a friend and couldn't use them in time, Jarrod got a free flight to come visit and go on an interview (more on that later).  Though we were extremely excited to see each other after about a month apart, all we did Friday night was head home and crash.  I had to be at a cross country meet in the am and like the amazing husband he is, Jarrod was getting up early to come with me.

While we were at the meet, Jarrod ventured to the near by dog park so Portland could run free and meet other dogs.  Everyone at the meet loved Portland, but with all the teens running around he was far too excited to relax.  While at the dog park Jarrod and Portland met a very large dog!

Meet Bear... note that the man next to him is not a small man either, thus Bear is huge!

He and Portland got a long swimmingly.  However their time was cut short when a less than well behaved dog showed up.  Jarrod decided it was time to leave and they said their goodbyes to Bear.

The two boys then made their way back to our area to watch the end of the JV race.  When asked what our dog's name was, most replied to the answer with, "Oh, I thought it would be spot..."  Sorry to disappoint and not go the obvious route everyone!
