But He Will Live On. {R.I.P Riley}

July 25, 2012

{not a challenge post..}

The day we first got Riley :)

 Remember the post where I told about how my mom brought home a cute, chubby little Jack Russell mixed puppy from work because the owner couldn't take care of the pups so he was going to take the pups to the pound? Well this past Monday morning, our Riley passed away. 

Riley wasn't the first in his litter to pass on either. He was one of the last in his litter to leave this earth. Something in his blood-line wasn't right. He was a perfectly healthy puppy until two weeks ago. All of a sudden, Riley started having really bad seizures. After a couple seconds, he would get up and everything was normal, of so it seemed. We looked it up online and began mixing honey with his food, because that is said to help. It helped for a little bit. 

A week later, it happened again even more times a day. Riley began to get weak and his memory began to fail. Since the vet was closed, we went online again and read that there was nothing to cure him from having the Epileptic Seizures for good. The medicine would cure it temporarily and sometimes not at all depending on the dog, since the condition is genetic. The next day, we couldn't find him anywhere and we searched and searched. We eventually found him but he was already gone. :'(  He fought for as long as he could. But he will live on in our hearts. I'm sure he's in the big dog-park in the sky, running and playing with all the other dogs. 

 We miss you Riley!!!!!!!

What makes a "Summer Playlist" or "Summer Song" isn't by how popular the song is or how new it is, but by what it means to the person listening to it, how it makes them feel and think. Each of the songs I picked are songs I frequently listened to this summer, both old and new...both popular and not. I could've had quite a few more up there...but I limited myself as to not this a super long post. xD 

A few updates on some of the upcoming challenges:

1) One of my best friends and I took our Senior Pictures last Monday! It was really fun and hopefully we'll be getting our pictures back soon and as soon as we do, I'll be sure to post them. x)

2) A beach adventure is coming up the first weekend in August as well as another beach adventure around the second full week of August. Quite a few more challenges will be knocked out then. :)

3) I believe I mentioned this in my last post...but I get my braces off AUGUST 3RD!!!! :D {Possibly earlier since it might interfere with my beach vacation. ;D}

4) Again, I apologize for not posting regularly. It's just scorching hot outside or storming really badly. :/ Also, since this is the summer before Senior year, I've been consuming a lot of my time filling out Scholarships and stuff like that. >.> 

Keep your lights shining brightly like the sun! :D

#21 Draw A "Masterpiece" With Chalk

July 9, 2012

Summer Challenge #21

Draw a "masterpiece" with sidewalk chalk

This challenge was really fun to do, and it took about an hour to complete. My younger brother even took part in this challenge...

Meet the penguin. It's so adorable. Not bad for a seven year old, eh? x) 

The trouble with most of these challenges and why I haven't been doing them as frequently as I had hope, is due to the extreme heat we've been having here in the South, getting to be daily where the temperature is 100+. >.<

Sorry about that y'all. I'll try to do more in the evenings whenever it stops being so humid and muggy out. D:

Happy Belated Fourth of July, as well! :D

I hope you all ate a lot of yummy food and shot/watched some awesome fireworks. :) My family and I took a trip to a town park and watched a fantastic firework show. :D

I have some huge news! I am officially getting my braces off, after 5 years, in August!! On the 3rd to be most exact. :) I am super siked about that. :D Wheee! :D

Keep your lights shining, stay cool, and refuse to sink! :)
