Kelsey's Birthday Party

Happy 5th Birthday Kelsey!! Kaitlyn had an absolute blast! Thank you for inviting us! :-)

Jenny Dog Update

Jenny Dog is feeling much better today. This is the first day that she has been up and walking around like normal.... but she still has a lot of healing to do. She is kept indoors and away from the other dogs so they don't lick her wounds. She just looks so sad...

The plastic tube is there for drainage... I get the chill's every time I look at it... the inside has to finish healing before they can stitch it up, otherwise it will just get infected worse... yuck. I feel so bad for her.

An Owl, Really? Really!

The Vet thinks it was an owl... crazy! The wounds are too far apart to be a dog, and not very deep. So the owl probably though yum.. a large rodent... I wonder how far off the ground the owl would have been able to carry her?

Our Poor Jenny Dog

Ok so last night was sad....

We got home from having a blast at Joe's Crab Shack were the kids got totally dirty playing with all their friends at the play ground...

Toss them in the tub and then the phone rings...

"Hi Mom, whats up?"

Mom says "Oh I am so sorry to tell you this.... but Jenny dog got out and we can't find her."

- Background Info - "Jenny Dog" as we all call her is technically Aaron's dog. She was a Christmas present to him from me a year before Kaitlyn was born... she is a little miniature Dachshund . She has lived with my parents though for the last 2 1/2 years. My parents took all three of the dogs with them to Big Bear this week....

Me "but it's 7:30pm... how long has she been gone? Can she survive the cold weather?"

Mom "ummm...... a few hours.... I've been driving all around and talking to people, no one has seen her... it's getting dark and I'm afraid she might freeze to death or be eaten..."

Me "ummm...ok.... well I have to get the kids out of the tub and into bed. We will pray that she is safe and you find her in the morning."

Mom " Ok sweetheart, I'm so sorry...." (mom trying not to cry)

- Later as I put Kaitlyn to bed -

"Kaitlyn...ummm.. mommy has to tell you something..."

So I tell her all about how Jenny got out of the yard and is now lost and scared and we need to pray and ask God to protect her and keep her safe so Grandma can find her in the morning.

Kaitlyn " Dear God, please keep Jenny dog safe so she is not scared and lonely (starting to cry) help Grandma to find her in the morning, Amen."

I was trying so hard not to cry... I was already really sad about her getting out and being lost in Big Bear, but to hear Kaitlyn pray so earnestly and seeing her get upset did me in.

So this morning we get a call from my dad... "WE FOUND JENNY DOG"

So yeah, good news!! But... she has puncture wounds on both sides of her abdomen, and is in shock... but she will be ok.. She is at the Vet in Big Bear, they are going to keep her overnight for tonight only to make sure everything is ok.

Good thing, cuz I don't think I could handle telling my kids that their favorite dog died...

Here is the most recent picture I've taken with the girls and the dogs.. Jenny is the one all the way on the right, the skinny little thing.

Lego Land

We went to Lego Land with MOPS on Thursday March 27th. The girls had a lot of fun, but still like Disneyland better (good thing, cuz Lego Land is too far a drive). Miniland was cool, thats a picture of them in front of Pairs Las Vegas. Their favorite was playing in the water, they did that for about an hour, sorry no pics of it though.
