Country Adventures

May 15th, 2008 by Sarah · No Comments

Hey blog readers,

Since I have started blogging, I have given you plenty of insight into both Memphis and Rhodes. Well, now I am home for three weeks and while I am here I am going to write about life in the country, the MCAT and medschool apps.

Today is your first installment of country adventures. There is always something happening at my house in Franklinton, LA. For instance, within just an hour of getting home my golden retriever, Angie, got stuck in a big pipe that we keep behind the machine shed and we had to rescue her. It took a little while to get her out and she was a little shaken up, but fine nonetheless. Our other dog, Chubby, who we found shortly after Sam died kept going in the pipe to see her and then coming back out. I figure he was saying, “Really, now, it’s not that hard. Watch!”

He’s much smaller than Angie though! Here’s a picture, because he’s adorable. I have given you a picture of Angie before, so feel free to look back through the posts.

This is chubby wanting steak....

The second part of the country adventures has been ongoing since before I got home. One day, when my dad and little sister Logan (she’s almost 5) were doing stuff on the tractor (I’m not really sure what…) they found a bunny nest with four or five baby bunnies. They were no more than a week old with closed eyes, no mom in sight and even worse my dogs found the nest. Anyway, when dogs see little bitty living creatures they don’t have the same “aww” response that we have. In fact, it’s more of a “yum…. foooood!” So my family decided to raise them (the four that survived the pups). Everyone who my step mom, Jamie, talked to said that when people try to raise bunnies from such a young age there is a 90% mortality rate. But guess what! They are still alive and kicking or rather jumping. Their eyes have opened and though they are still being bottle fed twice a day, they are also eating grass and alfalfa sprouts. Here is a picture of Tiny, the runt of the litter.

Anyway, that’s all of the adventures that I have for now!

I think I’m going to get back to studying some Bio for the MCAT. I haven’t looked at my books in a couple of days and I should since I take the MCAT in 16 days.

Anyway, as always… feel free to comment!

Peace.

Sarah
