Brek did great yesterday at the vet. They told us he was a very well behaved dog and everyone loved him. I know everyone always says this about their own dogs. He is at home on the mend. He got to stay inside today and will probably stay inside most of the week. He is not supposed to get his incision wet so with it raining outside, that would be a little hard not to do.
THere is some good news and bad news in this whole situation though. Which do you want first? The bad news...no no let's go with the good news first....
The good news: We are going to Hattiesburg this weekend to see Lamar's family for Mother's Day. I know isn't that just great!
The bad news: While in Hattiesburg, Brek is going to be one unhappy dog. Not only will he not be able to play with Carmel, Lamar's parent's dog, he will not be able to get in the ponds and swim. You see, he is not allowed to jump or run for a week and he is not allowed to get wet for 10 days. CRAZY!!
The poor thing doesn't know what's coming...Again! I hope he isn't too mad at us after this is all over.

Ok so this next part is completely off subject, but I need a new name for my blog. Anyone have any stellar ideas?

Happy May Day!!!
***Update- See below in Purple, the significance of not being seen***
Did you even realize that there is such a holiday as "May Day." Well there is and you know what, as a kid, my family celebrated this holiday.

It dates way back, and is not very popular in the United States. If you want to read more information about go here and read the History of May Day.
As a kid, we would always make our baskets the night before and get them ready to be delivered. You would then wake up the next morning and go to different people's houses, such as family and friends, then put your basket on the door or ground (depending on the type of basket you made) and make a beeline so they wouldn't see you. **The trick is you don't want the neighbor to see you! If you get caught, you are supposed to get a kiss.**
I remember celebrating May Day in Nebraska in the little town I grew up in and everyone was familiar with the holiday and participated. After we moved to Tennessee, we did it one year and no one had a clue what it even was. So needless to say, the tradition of celebrating May Day in our family went away.
Happy May Day Everyone!!! Sorry I don't have a little basket for you.
