Quick Update

Hello everyone! We are still alive and kicking!

Just wanted to give a quick update on things going on with us lately...

Jon and I have been going back and forth with the lovely ERA rental people because our flooding problem still has not been fixed!!!!!!!!!!!! Granted, it hasn't flooded in awhile, but we still get a huge lake in our driveway to where we have to go out the back door when we leave the house. It's so frustrating.... and if anyone has been watching the weather, there is a tropical storm "Henri" out in the Atlantic that looks like it could possibly come this way.

On another note, Otis is doing well too...After the first day he really was back to himself. We had some issues with keeping him away from his stitches, but we put together a jumpsuit looking outfit for him to keep him away...poor pup. But his stitches look great and he's doing fine! He gets the stitches out next Wednesday so he'll be good to go after that.

Other than that we've been working away! Staying busy... we love and miss everyone!

Otis Update

Our poor Odie underwent his dreaded "procedure" this morning...

he was neutered.

He was so excited to go for a car ride, but once we got to the clinic, I think he knew we something was up...

Odie is normally super outgoing and will lick your face off...but we were having to drag him in. It was so sad leaving him, but I pulled myself together for the greater good.

We went to pick him up and the poor pup looked pitiful. He had a big cone around his neck and his walk had turned into a march. Once in the car, he cried the entire way home...again not like him; he loves the car!

Once home he was so exhausted. He rested on the couch for a bit, refusing to eat or drink, but he took ice cubes from us so we were content with that. It's currently about 6:40pm and the little booger still has his episodes of crying, but he's digging around in his toy box making a mess for me to clean up, and he's eaten a bit of food. I think he'll survive :)

Presenting.....

Ladies and Gents!!!....

I am happy to announce that Jon and I are the proud owners of a new, 2009 Jeep Compass!!!!!

We absolutely love it!

Park

It was so beautiful outside today that we loaded Odie up in the car and took him to a park near our house. Besides some school kids playing on the basketball court, we had the whole park to ourselves, so little Odie could run around like crazy! We went out ot the football field and Jon and I took turns running up and down it with him...about 20 minutes into it, Otis was pooped! Here are a few pics!

P.S.
For those of you who have yet to experience the wrath of Otis' tongue...you can kinda get the picture here....

smile!

sssllluuurrrrppp!

Lazy pup!

"Look at my big boy teeth!"

So tired...can't even stand up to drink!
