She should have been named Houdini because she was always getting out of the fence. I would check on them before I went to work each day and one particular morning, Houdini was not there. I called into work (and the kids missed school) so I could trek through the woods on a very cool morning to find her. It took several hours, but we finally did and put her back into the fence. ]]> 2023-08-22 17:06:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jusurina2/hpjuf4kk0rzutzu1/wish/2669037193 Dog https://padlet.com/jusurina2/hpjuf4kk0rzutzu1/wish/2669045103 "My dog has a kidney stone."]]> 2023-08-22 17:14:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jusurina2/hpjuf4kk0rzutzu1/wish/2669045103 I am done with my work but i forgot to submit it. https://padlet.com/jusurina2/hpjuf4kk0rzutzu1/wish/2669045666 2023-08-22 17:15:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jusurina2/hpjuf4kk0rzutzu1/wish/2669045666 Moose on the loose https://padlet.com/jusurina2/hpjuf4kk0rzutzu1/wish/2669050190 I had a moose run into the side of my car and knocked my car into a ditch 2 days after a blizzard.]]> 2023-08-22 17:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jusurina2/hpjuf4kk0rzutzu1/wish/2669050190 school started?
