Thanksgiving 2009





Mom, Dad, Elizabeth and I did a 5k turkey trot this morning before we mealed all afternoon. (It helped ease the guilt QUITE a bit:). Good times. I think the rest is self-explanatory... except for the last pic. That's Joe and Bryan discussing the word "verbivore". ?! I know...

A 2nd Surgery



Well, for those of you who don't know, Miss M developed glaucoma in her remaining eye about 3 months ago. We have struggled with it ever since and due to the pain it's caused her, I decided to have the final eye removed. I based this decision on the pain it's caused her and the fact that she has adapted to getting around without being able to see. When she's in familiar surroundings, more often than not, you would not even guess that she couldn't see. However, it's often hard not to second-guess your decision, even when you think you're doing what's best for the one who can't tell you. So, this post is for the little dog.

Recap

Just to recap, this is a pic from a post made approx 2 1/2 years ago. I think Emily is handling it better with time.

Scoot-ie BOOTIES! Scoot-ie BOOTIES!

More scootie booties ... and NO more scootie booties. Emily has a pair of ... shoes?... that I find less than attractive and I have dubbed them "scootie booties". Fortunately, Emily is no longer allowed to wear them at work. We have now bought NEW scootie booties to wear around the house. I'm a little sad that she doesn't wear the original ones anymore - it is entertaining to make fun of them.
