I’m almost finished. Er…for the year anyway. I still have 5 more to go. Today’s final exam was pretty much my nemesis: math. After what felt like millions of hours of studying, staring at the formulas I taped to the walls in the bathroom and kitchen and watching videos from Khan academy though, I think I did ok. What a relief. And I don’t have to do any more math classes ever again.
On Tuesday, I have my last exam for the year, and then a big summer break until the end of February/beginning of March. Crazy as it is, I think I’ll get a higher grade in my math class then my food science class.
As soon as I finish my exam on Tuesday, I’m going straight to see a litter of beaglier (beagle x cavalier king charles spaniel) x mini foxy (which is apparently an Australian breed, so you probably have no idea what I’m talking about) puppies.
See how adorable beagliers are? How can you look at this and not smile? (random photo from the internet)
If I like them (I’m sure I will), I’m going to buy one, and then pick it up on Christmas eve to surprise the kids on Christmas morning. They still have absolutely no idea. I’ve been playing the “what would you name it” game with them to stealthily see what they’d like to name a puppy if we had one.
This is a puppy from the litter I’m going to see on Tuesday. They are a few weeks older now though, and have their eyes open
“What would you name an elephant if you had one?”
“Rosie.” Hannah said.
“What would I name a goose?” Daniel asked me. “Dog.”
“That would be funny, a goose named Dog.” I told him.
“What would you name a dog if you had one?” I asked them, after naming heaps of other animals first, so they’d have no thoughts of actually getting a dog.
“Otis.” Hannah said, with Daniel echoing her a second later.
Did I mention I want to get a girl dog? I don’t want pee all over the kids’ swing set, sand pit, bikes, and all their other outside toys. I’m not sure if neutered male dogs are supposed to stop marking their territory, but I’ve seen some that still do, and I don’t want to take that chance.
Looks like we’ll be stuck calling a female dog Otis. I hope she doesn’t mind that much.

It is a very cute dog. How big does it get? You can always wait until Christmas to name the dog and tell them it’s a girl. Or alter your game a bit – what would you name a boy elephant, what would you name a girl elephant?
They pick different names for each animal, but usually the same name for a boy and girl. Haha, they are funny. A beaglier x mini foxy doesn’t get very big. Maybe a large small dog. If that makes sense 🙂
