July 2016 Time Out in Vegas

For some reason, we thought it would be a good idea to go to Vegas for a getaway in the middle of July. Even though it was 117 degrees, it was a GREAT idea.  We needed it. The girls stayed with Grandma and Grandpa Luke and Nate and I stayed at a hotel in Lake Las Vegas. It was a gorgeous hotel and it was so nice to just relax and take some time to chill.  We took full advantage of the hotel gym and pool. We even went down the water slide.  We went to a movie called Nerve and ate some delicious food at various restaurants.

July 2016 Date with Dr. Bob

Bob Burch.  This guy became a great friend and co-worker to me while working at the school.  He happened to be a scout for the Chicago Cubs.  He use to play pro ball back in the day and still works in the industry part time. He took Nate and I to an Orem Owls game so we could sit and work the radar gun with him while he scouted out some new players. Such a fun date night with our third wheel, Bob.

July 2016 Attack on Koda

It was a pretty sunny late morning when I went outside and Koda was across the street at the Valentine's house playing with Rocky, their Burnese Mountain Dog. Rocky was the nicest, sweetest, biggest dog I've ever met. 
Our other neighbors dog, Holly, came outside and Koda, along side Rocky ran to greet Holly. Koda ran between Holly's legs and Holly attacked Koda. She bit him pretty hard causing some extreme bleeding.  We immediately took Koda to the animal doctor where they examined him and said that it would heal from the inside-out.  We took him home and the next day, he started hemorrhaging. He was bleeding all over the floor in the kitchen so we scooped him up in a towel and put him in the truck with Hailey holding him. Poor Hailey. It was a pretty traumatic situation. We got to the animal hospital where they took him back for surgery. They watched him overnight and sent him home with drain tubes.  While I was at the appointment with Koda, Carmen met me there to pick up the girls so they wouldn't have to stay there. Luckily, we have some pretty great neighbors who were very helpful in paying for the vet bills.
Koda really was never the same after that.
