      Happy New Year to everyone! As you know. I haven't been blogging as much. I've been busy with soccer, band, Science Olympiad, school, and the dogs. I thought I would get a New Year blog out before I get too busy in the new year.     We have a new foster, well she has been with us since November. Her name is Chili. Her nickname is Red Hot Chili Pepper.

        Many things have had happened since I last wrote my blog. One of the biggest things to happen was Josie was adopted. She now has a forever home with kids and no dogs to tease. She does have a few things she will need to unlearn.      I've got a new movie review. I went to a theater in Indy with my mum to watch the new Japanese movie, Shin Godzilla.

     We have some good news about Josie today. There are two possible adoptions for Josie. I am kind of sad Josie will probably be going soon. I really do enjoy her company. She is the only dog I've known that comes to my room every night to say goodnight to me. I know my mum will be happy though. Over the past few days mum has compared Josie to me. For example, neither

    We've always doubted what we were told about Lizzie's age. At 11 years old, she seemed more active than Hoover, who was five at the time. Now that she is at 14, she has started to slow down the past couple of months. She use to lead the walks, but now she is at the back of the pack. We wonder sometimes if she is going to finish the walk. My dad has made it clear it is not a

         This hasn't been one of Hoover's greatest months. It seems like he has only gone outside to go to the bathroom and even that is a challenge. Except when he wakes my dad at 4:30 to go out. Sometimes he just does it as a practice run. When dad goes to let him out, Hoover sits down in the living room and won't go out. Hoover knows not to disturb the food goddess

      Happy roarth of Kaijuly! Sorry, I have been watching Godzilla movies all weekend. The El Rey network finds all sorts of reasons to show Godzilla movies. They have Godzillathons for Independence day, Halloween, and December holidays. It is a good time to be a nerd. I have been celebrating in other ways too. I marched in a parade for my soccer club. The conditions weren't

    We have some sad news to report this week. One of our former foster's, Alue, also know as Perseus, passed away on Thursday. He lost his battle with cancer. We're going to remember him in this blog. He had many adventures with Nikita and Hoover, and let's not forget his sister's Aurora and Nyx. Alue wasn't one to play much, but Alue was known for his jokes. He always knew how to

     A lot has happened since we planted the flowers in our garden. I had my first track meet, the soccer season started and we got a new foster dog. I'm sure you want to hear all about Josie, but I'll save the best for last.       My first track meet was a home meet. We were going up against the Edgewood Mustangs. I was running the 800 meters. Unfortunately,

         Well, I just got through the worst February of my life. Both my grandmother's passed away within 48 hours of each other. It has been a tiring two months. I know my mum was feeling really tired. She was caring for her mom the entire time. My dad's mom passed away in a nursing facility she had been at for a few years. The only good part of these

    Well, I just got through the worst January of my life. I won't talk about all of it because some of it is spilling over into February. I'll just say both my grandmothers are in hospice. Oh joy. It may be a while until the next blog comes and this one will be a bit shorter. The first thing to happen this year was the passing of Nikita. She was at least 16 and she had been

    A lot has happened since the last blog post, which was around Thanksgiving. For one thing, I've turned 13. For my 13th birthday we went to see Star Wars with Lora and Justin. I will not be giving any spoilers for the few people in the world who haven't seen it yet. Star Wars is probably my favorite movie of 2015. It had some good characters and a satisfying plot and no Jar

    The last blog post was about fall break, this blog post is about a few things that have happened in between. Now that Thanksgiving break has started, I have some time to write.      My soccer team went to a soccer tournament the week before Halloween, which was located at Center Grove. We started out really well winning our game 4-0. Our next game was against a

    You've probably noticed by now there have been fewer blog posts. That's because I have more homework now, and there has been a lot of soccer. However, I will post when possible. Now is one of those times.      This past week has been my fall break. I've done quite a few relaxing things, such as build the cozy corner. I've spent a lot of time in the cozy corner this

     Last weekend we had our first soccer game. It was on Sunday and we played against Zionsville. This was our first game playing on a bigger field. I played a position I hadn't played in a while. I was returning to my center back roots. For the entire game, I played center back with one of my teammates. By the end I was extremely tired because in the morning I had gone to a

    I've begun a new experience in life. It is also a loud experience and Hoover doesn't like loud experiences. I'm talking about middle school and the trombone. I've left University school for Tri-North. It has been interesting at Tri-North. Interesting in that I have so many more teachers now, and that I have to wake up much earlier. I'm starting to play the trombone at school.

    Nikita didn't have the best week. The reason for this is her back right leg doesn't support her anymore. She can walk or maybe it is more like a wobble. She is having trouble pulling herself up and staying up to go to the bathroom. So to help her we have put more rugs and mats around the house. We give her a little boost when she needs to get up. We borrowed one of mum's coworker's

     Mum and I had an exciting adventure on Friday. Maybe a little too exciting at one point. For anyone that doesn't know what we did, we rode the city bus. It was a new experience. Everything started off fine. We were picked up close to our house. We had to bus hop to get to mum's work. Unfortunately, our first drop off was next to an adult store. I was thinking this wasn't the

      We are the champions!  I'm glad to say we are the new women's FIFA World Cup champions. Mum missed the first two goals on her way home. Then somehow she missed the third. She thought it would be awhile before something else happened so she went to take care of Nikita, suddenly she heard, "GOOOOOOAAAALLLLL!" Mum had missed another goal. Hoover enjoyed parts of the

     People love Hoover, it's a fact. He is a very handsome boy. When dad takes Hoover to Bell Trace, a senior center, the staff and residents say he should be in movies and commercials. I personally wouldn't want Hoover to be gone for a long time so I'm fine with him staying here with the family. But people still want to see and hear about Hoover. So, I gave him a Facebook

    We meet a new friend on Tuesday, his name is Oh-brr. Our cousins came to visit us on Tuesday and Wednesday. It's a big deal because they live in Minnesota and we don't get to see them often. Oh-brr is a 4 and 1/2 month old husky/lab/shepherd mix. Hoover was surprised to see an energetic puppy on his doorstep.Oh-brr ran circles around Hoover outside. Hoover was trying to assert his

     By the title you can probably assume Dad was ran over by a bus. Well, you are slightly correct. Dad was biking to work last Thursday, the last day of school, when he was hit by a school bus. He hurt his knee and is a little sore but other than that, he is okay. The thing I find most funny about about this is we actually made it into the local newspaper. I will always remember

    Last week I went to my school's sixth grade party. I had the time of my life! It was mostly filled with dancing, but there were many competitions and it was hilarious to watch and compete in. There was also a huge table that carried so much food it would take several people to eat it. My night was further improved when mum had to go back to work to finish up

      As part of the Mother's Day celebration, mum and I took Lizzie on a walk to Bryan Park. Hoover went to Bell Trace with dad so he wouldn't be jealous. Nikita enjoyed the peace and quiet at home. Lizzie enjoyed walking around and sniffing all the plants. We also got to see something extra, too. We were able to watch some LARPers LARP. LARP means live action role playing.

     Hoover is a very sneaky boy. However, he is not much of a thief. Lizzie likes to save her biscuit and Hoover usually ends up eating it. She likes to have one around her, I think she enjoys teasing Hoover. One day mum came home for lunch. Lizzie came up to greet her. Mum realized Hoover took off downstairs. Hoover remembered Lizzie left her biscuit downstairs. When Hoover

     We started our spring soccer season on Saturday. We didn't start off with a bang though. The game ended 4-0. None of us really did well. I think one of the reasons we played so unenthusiastically was because we had played only once on the grass. Our practices keep getting rained out. Unfortunately, our practice fields are drenched. Hopefully the rest of
