Rest of the day: I watched the rest of the Tigers game, got unpacked, got some things cleaned up, we had dinner, Hailey took a bath, I got her to bed a little before 8pm, we watched part of a movie, Steph feel asleep, Hailey woke up for a few minutes, I rocked her back to sleep around 10:30pmish, and I went to bed, and sleep till 8am or so when she woke up.

It was a long weekend, and a hard weekend. Giving up the dog will be tough because my wife and daughter love him very much. I came around a little, after not liking him at all at first, one he didn't like me, and always tried to step on my balls, which I didn't care for, and two he wasn't my dog, he was my wife's from her first marriage so I never really felt like he was mine. But he did become a part of the family, and I will miss him, I think. We just can't risk him doing it again, and worse to Hailey, or the kid we have on the way, November 29th, he really is a great dog most of the time, I just hope we find a place for him so we don't have to put him down, our first choice is Steph's ex taking him back, we shall see. Hopefully my wife's nose will heel but she is beautiful anyway. Another July 4th done.. back to sports on my next post. I'm right, you're wrong.
