Cheney, the Dog Died

Cheney had a better life than she would of had. We got her from a Mexican family in Salinas, California. We took her home when she was just a couple weeks old. She made friends in our family very quickly. She, lived in two of our houses. When she was six and a half she got hypothyroid but we didn't discover that until a year later. The vet put her on medication, so, we did that for a couple of weeks until she got skinny again. We stopped the medication but, she kept getting skinnier and skinnier. Then she didn't eat or drink, so, we had to force feed her. We did that for a couple of months. Then, she started going to the bathroom in the house, so, we put her in the bathroom. Then, it just got to the point that we couldn't take it any longer, so, we took her to the vet and put her to sleep. She lived 8 1/2 years and she died July 27 2010 at 1:30 PM.

My friend Chuck, who is a writer said this "I loved that dog. However, she had a great family, a great big yard, got to run around up at the ranch, an all you can eat chicken poop buffet, and the unconditional, indeed, some say unnatural, love of Chuck. It was a dog's life, and one to be envied. If one believes in these things, she's gone to where all the good dogs go."

Shoot and Miss

Yesterday morning, my dad and I went out snorkling with the spear as usual. But, yesterday he actually took a shot at something, but missed. It, was some kind of white fish. We also saw a bunch of scallops. I told him to get them but he didn't. When I came in, I built a sancastle. It had a wall of sand protecting it, but, the waves came up and took most of it away. When we went to the pool, I got thrown high up in the air and at the same time into the water. I usually land on my feet.

For lunch, I had patatoe chips and scrambled eggs.

Happy Fifth of July

Yesterday morning, I went with my dad and, my uncle, and my grandpa. My dad found a cowry in the coral reef. Then, I went to the pool and played with my cousin. Then my uncle came and we played with him. For lunch I went to our condo for once. After lunch I went to the other condo and played with my cousin. We watched the "Brady Bunch" in Hawaii, then, "Frankenstein". My cousin got scared and had to go to the bedroom. Then, we had to stop the movie because my cousin was hungry and didn't want to sit at the table, so, we went home.

Happy Fourth of July

Yesterday morning, I had scrambled eggs and bacon. Then my dad and I went to the pool and my grandma and my cousin were there. When we got there, my grandpa and my uncle were coming in from snorkeling. My cousin and I went swimming. Later, my dad and I went snorkeling. After 15 minutes I got to cold and I went in to the pool and went swimming with my cousin again. When my dad came in, I asked if I could go have lunch at my grandma's condo. My dad said yes. After lunch we watched "Napoleon Dynamite" again for my cousin. Then, we went the pool and my uncle brought boogie boards down. We got some good waves. For dinner we had hamburgers.

Flight to Hawaii

Yesterday, was the day to go to Hawaii. We flew from San Jose to Honolulu. I watched the movie "Diary of a Wimpy Kid". When we got to Honolulu, we had a 1 and a half hour layover. The next flight was to Kahului, Maui. When we got to baggage claim we found out that all of the luggage went on the first plane because a pane left 15 minutes after we got there. My grandparents and my uncle and his daughter flew in the same day and picked us up. When we all go to the Condominium complex, we went straight to the pool and ocean. We had steak at my grandparent's and my uncle's condominium. Right when we sat down my cousin took three bites of dinner and then marched into the bedroom. After dinner, we watched part of "Napoleon Dynamite". It was pretty good.

My bed in our condominium is right under the T.V.
