Getting worse

I developed an infection related to my wisdom teeth, so I had to go back to the dentist yesterday and get antibiotics. On top of that I've developed a bad sore throat and lost my voice this morning. When do you think my luck will change?

The Cast is Off!

After 5 weeks of struggling and wimpering and hobbling on her poor wee little tied up leg, dear little Maggie is finally a free pup. She will be 4 months old in 2 weeks, and for a puppy, thats an awful lot to go through. we took the cast off yesterday because she was chewing it to pieces and I figured why wait a day, but her xrays today showed a perfectly (somewhat) healed leg (with just a little callusing). But its muscles growth has been delayed quite a bit since shes grown 5 lbs since it was put on. so it will take a couple weeks for her leg development to be caught up to the rest of her. Lets just pray this doesn't happen again, I don't know if I could go through it all over again. Duncan is doing well with his obedience training classes and is walking with perfect ease. but still is stuck in 'alfa dog mode'. Heaven help us!

Bye to Wisdom Teeth

My wisdom teeth are coming out tomorrow (Thursday). I'll miss them. Does losing my wisdom teeth mean I won't be as smart anymore?

So if anyone wants to bring by nice mushy things that I can spoon-feed to myself, that would be awesome. Just kidding, I'm planning on picking up some jello, applesauce, oatmeal... what else is there? Baby food?

The name game

Okay, I really need your help with this. I don't know how to do a voting thing, but I'm asking for your help naming this little pooch. She is sweet and tiny, but also spunky and playful and a little goofy. Her coat is black with little brown flecks on the tips and she may lighten over time. So, here are the choices: Cocoa, Mimi, Mitzi, Josie or Jo, Zoe, and Millie--oh, and Lucy.



Okay, so make a comment and tell me what you think!

Ask and ye shall receive!

furry sweetheart



Kimball said he'd like a dog that would stay really small, and even though it's a lot of work, he's more open to having a little companion in our house. I knew it would be a little harder keeping her safe from the kids, but I wasn't going to argue! This is our new puppy (we're thinking of calling her Maggie, but we're still working on her name). She's itty bitty and definitely knows how to snuggle. She prefers sleeping in the crook of your neck, but an elbow or hip will suffice. Anything that keeps her warm and protected. She's playful, but not too destructive and handles the kids okay. They aren't allowed to pick her up, though. Anyway, thought I'd share some pictures for those who are curious.

On Our Cruise

I found this photo on Brent's mom's camera when I was getting photos of Kasey to post on my blog. This was of Brent and me on his family's cruise last June. (I was 20 lbs lighter too!) So I'm workin' on my own 21 day habit! ...Only got up to 3 miles walking a day. I'll keep you posted when I get back to this size! "Oh, the good ol' days!"
