yesterday was haylie's bday party. so saterday we went over there. ryan and i spent the night w/ dad's parents, and got to see our aunt and uncle and thier baby girl, our new cousin hannah. but the party was kinda boring. but haylie had lots of fun, and had some of her friends there. but mom had gotten her brother, nathan a transformer. and none of the adults could figure out how to transform it. so when i got there, i had to figure it out. it was an ugly one. today i went to ihop, then shopped at petco. i got sammie a green and blue collar, and a harness and lead. then went to see the movie 9. it was great. but sad. mom and i have decided that sammie will wear his collar everyday. that way mindy will be able to know when he is trying to sneak up on her. she's to old for that. but last night, i found a small lump on the back of her neck. it doesn't eem to be sensitive, because i fingered it a bunch trying to figure it out, and she didn't notice. mom thinks it's because of the stress of me being gone all weekend. and when i called the vet this morning, they said it could just be a cist or and overworked gland, and to just keep an eye on it. i really hope it's nothing serious, and goes away.
