We Have a Winner!!!

We have a winner in the guess-the-quote contest. The correct Benjamin Franklin quote is "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." Congratulations Katie!

Katie is a good friend and also Matilda's veterinarian. Of course she asked how Matilda is doing. Matilda is doing great. She is growing by leaps and bounds. We just weighed her using a fish scale and a tote bag, and she weighed 18.7 pounds. I guess this is the last time we can weigh her that way, because my fish scale only goes up to 18.8 pounds. I think she's a keeper. Her chewing on Dorcas has slowed somewhat, and we are starting to teach her some commands and to correct some negative behaviors. She has not yet been in a canoe, at least not a canoe in the water. Hopefully we will get her out this week.

We went over to the casino today and played some slots. We each signed up for a players club rewards card, each with $10 in complimentary credits. We played for several hours and I turned my free $10 into $14. No small feat! Dorcas was not so lucky. She came out with just $2. I'm sure we will both blow the remainder of our free money before we leave. Hopefully we won't blow too much of our own money.
