Cletus our 111 lbs lover boy.
Izzy at 5 weeks and 4 days
Izzy again!
5 weeks and counting.
Wow how time flies. Before I know it I will be back at work. Ugggh. Mark's mom came and stayed from Wed to Sat. She helped out with watching the baby so I could run errands. It was nice, but I was ready to have Izzy time since I just came back from 4 days in GI. I guess I'm a little selfish. Everyone was telling me to savor this time because it goes fast. In the early days I was wishing for this time to go fast because of the sleepless nights and trying to guess which cry she was screaming at the moment. But now I don't want it to go so fast.
Mark bought himself a new toy to tinker on. He bought a 1976 Toyota FJ Land Cruiser. It is bright yellow and really loud. You even get a distinct smell of gas to your clothes when you ride in it. He definately deserves something fun after all the hard work he has put into the old house, the new house, and pretty much losing the attention of his wife the last few weeks. I will try to get a picture of the FJ soon.
On a bad note, Cletus the Wonder Dog's hip dysplasia has finally caught up with him. When we were in GI he started to cry loudly when he would get up from lying down. We took him to the vet and they said it was time to have surgery. But, before we can do that he has to lose about 20 lbs. He now weighs 111lbs. and should only weigh 90. So he is now on diet food, tramadol for pain, an anti-inflammatory, and injections for joint lubrication. He's worse than an 80 year old. Our hope is to have him lose 2 lbs a month and have surgery next year. He is on a two-a-day routine of walks and has since become a new dog with all his drugs.
