Hey all, sorry I've been gone so long but I have good reason to have not written. I've been extremely busy and even if I hadn't I still wouldn't have been on because aol for some reason it wasn't working until about a week ago. We called the aol people several times but they still never fixed it until my mom got fed up with it, then you can believe they fixed it, lol. As soon as I got back from my dad's and came home to my mom we had to make an emergency trip to care for are very sick grandpa, thankfully he's better now, whew! Then my first year of HS started and you can believe I was ecstatic. So I've been caught up in extra curricular school activities and am waiting for the swimming team to start. (Its soooooo cool, they have so many cool things to do.) I was planning on writing up a new chap this past weekend when I had time, but some evil person that if I ever get my hands on………..I don't really need to say cause I assume you get the picture….well anyhow some evil person shot a killed my dog Blue. It was even worse that whoever it was shot him in the head. I spent the whole Sunday bawling my eyes out and burying my dog. He was a big but sweet dog; I can't understand why they would. We called the police and they said they had reported shots fired in my area. They still haven't found the person but when they do they'll be charged for many things among killing our pet. Yesterday I was talking to my neighbor and he said that there were some people hunting deer in our area that weekend. It leads me to believe it was those people and Blue may have been hit by a stray bullet but I still hate them because it's illegal to hunt here because there are too many houses surrounding the shallow pockets of woods in our area. Just think, that bullet could have easily been me or any one of my siblings. Well I just had to tell someone, I'm sorry for being gone and blabbering on, now down to business. I will put up a new chap as soon as possible and will be deleting all my author messages. If they have any important information I'll had them to one of the chaps. Ohh and one last thing, the challenge I made for the last chap, no it's not a leopard but I'll give ya another try. Remember it is very small, well not very but compared to a lion. Well that's all fer now. It's not a cheetah either, go back and read the info carefully and then go look up species of felines in Africa.
