Can you tell that he is "slightly" bigger than he was in the picture with Polly on the right?!? He is definitely bigger than Polly now, but still acts like a little puppy! Quite funny.

Awww...Man!
Don't you love it when you have something planned out and it doesn't work out...
Well, yesterday, Mike had planned to go to Charlotte and pick up some items that he had purchased. I didn't want him to go down and back by himself last night and offered to go IF we could take the dogs with us. I didn't want to leave them at home all day and all night by themselves. So, our friends offered for us to take their truck which had a back seat. After work, we headed over to our friends's house in Mike's Jeep with the trailer. On the way, a lady decided to pull out in front of us to make a left turn in front of traffic. We ended up hitting her and spinning her around in the middle of the road on what is a pretty busy road in Raleigh.
Mike's Jeep is likely totalled and her Lexus was in pretty bad shape too. Thankfully, we were all ok, including the dogs too. It was quite an experience to be in the middle of the road in 5:30 traffic on a very busy road trying to keep 2 dogs calm in the back seat. Thankfully, we had treats that I constantly fed to them. Our friends met us at the scene and took the dogs for us which was a HUGE help. We were then able to take care of things with the police and wrecker and not have to worry with them.
So, needless to say, we didn't make it to Charlotte and now we will have to get a new car! Lucky us, right?!? Funny how no one seems to win in an "accident" situation. We are SO thankful that God protected us and the dogs. Mike and I just kept talking about the things that could have happened and how amazing it was that God protected us. I am a huge advocate for seat belts for your dogs, especially after our accident. I know my family laughs at me buckling the dogs in but we were blessed that they were buckled in since it kept them safe too.
Here are a few pictures of the wreck. The sawdust on the ground was to soak up our radiator fluid that was ALL over the road...nice...

Polly and her buddies
We have some really great friends (Trent, Annette, and Aedan Peacock) who have kept Polly for us many times over the past few years when we were out of town. They have been SO great, sometimes keeping her for a day or two longer than even scheduled. Polly gets along well with their pets (2 dogs and a cat). She especially likes playing with Numu, their Airedale Terrier. Polly has become part of the family and their 3 year old son, Aedan, loves for her to come over. One of the last times that we went to pick her up, he told us that we could just come back tomorrow because he wasn't ready for Polly to go home yet! How sweet!!
Well, we knew that the Peacocks would be moving sometime. Trent finished up his PhD work and has signed up to go back into the ARMY full time. Well, they received their orders this past week and are moving to Ft. Hood, TX! We are SO bummed!! Not only are we losing great friends but Polly is losing a great family too.
I asked Annette to send me some of the pictures that she has taken of Polly and Aedan during her stay. Here are a few:

Aedan always makes Polly sit before she gets treats from him

Fun Fact 6/9/08
Miriam's car hit 150,000 miles today! Not too fun when you factor in gas at $4/gallon now though!
Yeah, you could say it's hot...
It is always nice to wake up to 80 degree temps. This heat reminds us of living in Columbus, minus the flying roaches! I guess there is ALWAYS something to be thankful for...
At least there is hope of cooler (& wetter) weather on the way:
