Griz causing trouble

So today we are headed out the door to go to church and are getting Griz situated. I told Jason not to leave him in our laundry room/storage room. We left him there on Friday and he knocked 2 bags of flour on the floor. Luckily it did not make a mess but there were holes in the bags. Anyway this morning Jason decides that if he puts Griz's ropes and toys in the room he would be fine. Well so we come home to 30 lbs of flour all over the floor. Needless to say I was furious. Jason had to lay down for a nap because he works tonight and had a priesthood thing from 3-5, and has to be to work by 7. He laid down and I spend the next 2 hours cleaning up flour and giving Griz a bath. Yes on a Sunday which made me even more mad. This is supposed to be the day I don't do these things. I just relax. Well not this Sunday. While I cleaned up the flour Griz was outside because I did not need flour all over my house. The weather has been super nice and the snow is melting which makes mud. I brought Griz in to take his bath and the flour was now GLUE. We are lucky that Griz takes baths great. He sits there till you get done. Otherwise that could have been horrific. We got him cleaned and I cleaned up the flour for the most part. Job for tomorrow will be finishing up the room. I have to dust the shelves and mop the floor. Hmmm maybe the next time Jason will take my advise. Oh the things we do for our pets.
On the second shelf from the bottom is some lovely bags of flour. Each of them is 5 lbs. All but 1 were torn up and flour everywhere.
This is the room just this last week. I had cleaned and reorganized the shelves.

This is Griz before the bath!!! He is all black and brown. See how his muzzle is white and his legs are white. Yeah flour plus water which is glue!!! Oh but a very good dog just sitting there patiently.

Carson's take down tournament!!!




Today was Carson's first day wrestling. He had a take down tournament in Columbia Falls. A take down tournament is the first wrestler that takes a kid down and has control gets the point. First wrestler to 3 wins the match. There were 4 kids in his group. He wrestled 3 matches and won the first and the last. We are so happy for him. He is super excited and ready for next week in Whitefish. This is his first year and we are very excited to see how much he learns.

Wrestling starts soon


Carson has given us mixed feelings about wrestling starting. Some days he says he is not wrestling then other days he says he is ready. Yesterday morning I went in to his room and found his wrestling shoes next to his bed. I think he is ready for it to start. I am excited. My brother had duels on Saturday and after they were done Carson headed down to the mats with a friend and practiced together. I think he is ready. Wrestling practice starts Feb 15th.
