Volunteering

Randy and his mom began their volunteer work at the school. They began with stapling and sorting the "Meridian Happenings" newsletter. They also put together some papers for one of the teachers.

Afterward the volunteer work and running a few errands, Randy worked on his models for awhile and worked on his eye exercises. He and his mom had disagreed about how the eye exercises should be done ~ they had both remembered the instructions a bit differently (Randy remembered the eye doctor saying he could do them either standing or sitting and his mom remembered them needing to be done while standing). The eye doctor called to to say that the exercises could be done either way but because of the axtaxia it would be good to alternate one day standing and then the next day sitting.

This evening we went over to Marty and Julie's house. They have a puppy there that is beyond adorable. They had 3 of them but have sold the other 2. The three of us (Randy, Cass and I) had so much fun playing with the puppy. Earlier this week, we had to put down our older dog Sherman. He had been with our family for the last 2 1/2 years. Randy found him online from an organization that rescues animals. Randy fell in love with him. I told him that taking on an old dog would be hard because they would need a lot more medical care and the decision of putting him down would come up at anytime and we both knew that the decision wasn't ever an easy one. But Randy just fell in love with him and wanted to bring him home. Sherman was great for cuddles and will be greatly missed.
