Kate woke Jared up at 3am because she was scared of the thunder storm. Jared went outside to shut the windows/sunroof to the saturn. Kate didn't let him get back to sleep. I slept right throuh her but woke up a little before 5am to the loud thunder. Jacob's window was opened so Jared went in and shut it. It's and old window and very loud when its shut. Jacob didn't wake up though. Kate didn't let me get back to sleep she was whinning, panting and pacing. She got her nose under the covers at the end of our bed and crawled up inbetween Jared and I. There she lay til we got up. The power went out just long enought to make our clock blink. We got ready for work and then went out to check on the animals. We woke Jacob up at 6am and got breakfast going. I gave Kate a quick bath cause she rolled in something and she stinks. She has to come to work with me today because she is due for a distemper vacc and a heartworm check. I had the tech draw the blood when I got there and then stuck her in a kennel next to Joni's dogs. Joni (my boss) has a standard poodle and and italian greyhound. Kate did not want to go in the kennel. She was pushing against the door with her nose every time I'd shut it. Poor dog - scared of my work, thunderstorms and car rides and she has all three today. I brought her up front during lunch to lay by me. Then I took the doctors dogs out cause he was in surgery late. When I brought them back in I locked up Kate. Jared had lunch at KFC down the road from my work so he came to see me. He said he wasn't feeling that well. When to doctor got a free moment (not til 4:30) I asked him to do an exam and vacc on Kate - he said she needs her teeth cleaned. I asked him to put up a tranquilizer for Kate during storms and for her trips to Indiana. After work I stopped at my Grandma's house to trim her dog and give him a bath. My mom was there to watch Jacob. I had a very nice visit and was very happy to see my grandparents. My Grandma looked great today. She said it was a good day because its the end day of chemo - starts again tomorrow. Every time my Grandpa says "Pom Pom" to Jacob, Jacob laughs. We can say it and - nothing. On our way home we stopped to pick up Jared some 7 up and made a quick run through Salvation army. Jared is not feeling very good at all. I made him some jello for tomorrow. Jacob fell in a little basket I got from salvation army tonight. Jared said youv'e got to come see Jacob. I grabbed the camera.
