Well, Justice had another vet appointment this week. At 4 months and 1 week old, he is at a hefty 46.7 pounds!!! The little puppy is not so little anymore. However, he loves to play like he is still a puppy. Enjoy the new pictures.

School is winding down. We are in week 7 and I am done week 14. I cannot wait to be finished. Graduation has been changed from Saturday, January 21, 2006 at 3pm to Sunday, January 22, 2006 at 1pm due to the size of our graduating class.

We have sad news - Erin, the lovely girl who made our wedding cake - passed away Saturday in a motorcycle accident while on a color tour in Traverse City. She was the niece of my best friend Kimmer, whom I have known for 18 years. We will all be affected by her death in more ways than we can see at this time. She was a vibrant and compassionate young lady.

I love piles of leaves!

Sorry - we have gotten a few complaints because we have not updated recently. Ed is still working hard, while the weather is still nice. I am still at school seven days a week, work 4 afternoons a week and we have Justice in Obedience School every Monday night. I am participating in a National Trial Competition, as a witness, this weekend. Once this is over with, I will only be at school 3 days a week!!!!!!!!!! It will be nice to get part of my life back. Justice is 4 months old now, and still growing like a weed. He has his next vet appt on the 17th where he will get his last distemper shot, his first rabies shot and we will make an appt to have surgery to avoid little puppies showing up. We purchased and installed an electric/invisible fence last weekend. It took us five hours to dig the trench and bury the cable, but it is so worth it to not have him running off everytime he is outside. He has already learned that the flags are the outer limits or he gets a little shock. His collar beeps and vibrates first and if he crosses the line, he will then get the shock. The literature says that it is nothing more than if you were shocked by your television. Oh, I made the Dean's List for the 2nd term in a row!! Now some sad news, our brother-in-law, Dave, got some bad news. It looks like his mom may have pancreatic cancer. It is a disease that moves very quickly. Please keep Dave, and the rest of the Kurts, in you prayers.
