Well, according to the insurance people, a lot of people have dogs just as bad as Toby. They said I'd be surprised at how many people call and say their dog used their phone as a chew toy. So, THANKFULLY my cell insurance covered the damage and all I had to do was pay a deductible on the new phone. The bad news is Toby demolished any chance I had at getting my contact list, so now I have NO phone numbers. So if I don't call you, it's not because I don't love you, it's because my memory sucks and I don't have your phone number any more.
Also, I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but today is the first day of October! Are you kidding me? Where did September go? Or what about August? Last time I checked, I thought it was still May. Sheesh...the summer flew by and now it's gone. I have officially been in Andalusia for FIVE months now. That's insane... I feel like I fell asleep and someone changed my calendar as a joke. The good news is that the weather will be cooling down some, prompting me to find outdoor activities to do on the weekends. I think I'm going to look on Outdoor Alabama today and see if there are any trails nearby. Why can't there be mountains in south Alabama?

Chew toys and beach bums
Let me begin by saying this: I love my dog. I really do. I can't put any kind of monetary value on his company and friendship. BUT, if he eats one more thing at my house that I have to replace, I'm going to be poor.
Here's a brief summary of some of the things he's destroyed in the past year: countless pairs of socks, an estimated 15 pairs of shoes, two t.v. remotes, a blanket, a suede comforter, three harnesses, two leashes, a collar, two throw pillows, six books, two cell phone chargers, an ungodly amount of toilet paper, a few hats, some DVD cases... the list goes on.
But here's the real kicker — last night, he ate MY CELL PHONE. The bottom half of it is completely chewed up. I can still use the arrow buttons at the top, but that's about it. OH, and he destroyed the part where the charger plugs in, so once the battery dies, that's it. No more phone. I guess I'll be going to Alltel tonight to find a new one. Obviously the two chew toys that Mama bought him this weekend weren't enough to keep him entertained. Good try though.
Somebody please tell me why I love him so much?
Maybe he was getting me back for leaving him alone all day Saturday while we were at the beach. Which was AMAZING, by the way. The weather was absolutely perfect. No clouds, temp in the high 80s, crystal clear water. And I didn't even burn!
We went to play mini-golf, which was really fun until about the 10th hole when everyone was more focused on the prospect of seafood than trying to get the ball in the hole.
Not to mention Alabama totally upset Georgia Saturday night. Can I get a Roll Tide?

(We had to take a picture with the gorilla.)
So we rushed through the last few holes and went to the Back Porch, where we proceeded to stuff our faces with shrimp, crab claws, scallops and other tasty beach things. Over all, it was a great day.
