Today my parents are driving to Portland to take our collie (Eli) to a special veterinary hospital. He has damaged his lower spine (we don't know how, but it could be due to all of the rough-housing from our puppy Arwen), and vets in Eugene don't know how to help him. I hope that things will work out okay. My mom has a very special attachment to this dog, so I would hate to see anything happen to him. He's also a big sweetie, the sweetest dog we've ever owned. 

My class from UH is finally over. It was difficult towards the end, as the professor almost completely disappeared. It happens sometimes with online courses, and makes it hard to finish.

I am loving White Collar. My mom and I watched it together every night, and we are so attached to the characters at this point. She adores Neal, and I equally adore Peter. Such a fantastic dynamic between those two.
