Haley and Nelson

Well they have met. And Haley has a love/hate relationship with Nelson. Haley loves to growl and steal toys from Nelson. Haley hates Nelson to dominate her(which he does...hehe). Haley is jealous and wants our constant attention. Nelson just looks at her like, you're stupid. So I think that means Nelson is the dominant one. I will have to take some pics of the 2 of them playing/bugging each other. I'll work on that:)

Whatever

I have stupid Bursitis. I guess dealing with hyperthyroid and a stupid immune system wasn't enough. I have to have something wrong with my shoulder too...YEA!!
Bursitis is a bursa that gets inflamed. There are lots of "bursa's" in your body. They are between the joint and the muscle. Well if your bursa gets inflamed you get Bursitis. And it freakin' hurts. Ok, I'm done bitchin' now.

Introducing Nelson

Meet Nelson. I think we decided on Nelson Shadow...cause Shadow was the name the adoption shelter had given him and he really follows you around like a little shadow. Nelson because Brian likes to give the dogs the "puppy nelson" (a wrestling move) But I keep calling him Nelson Mandela.

I really wasn't sure I could get another dog after Coda. My mom and sister were looking at Petfinder(a organization that takes in dogs and finds them homes) to find me a dog. I looked myself but didn't really find anything. My mom and I went to the Super Pet Adoption and I fell in love with him.

So did Jabin.

And Kade tolerates him.

He is a mix of Border Collie/Boxer. He is adorable. Haley and Nelson have not met. Nelson has Kennel cough at the moment and my very wonderful sister is taking care of Haley for me till Nelson is done with his antibiotics. I'll have to blog later on how they interact together.

Goodbye Coda

Coda, my sweet boy. I am going to miss you! Coda was putting up the fight of his life and we didn't even know it. He stopped eating, and naturally we got concerned, took him to the vet and had blood work done. That was on Thursday. But Sunday he had stopped drinking water as well. Monday we took him in to get an IV, so he could have some sort of nutrients while we awaited the blood work results. Well the blood work came back that he had lympthoma cancer, with not a good time frame of life. So with Coda still not eating we made the hard decision on putting him down :( Brian took him in Tuesday the 8th and held him til he was gone. Our poor little dog had an autopsy done, and it was found he had cancer on all of his organs, in his throat and skin. I'm sure he had been suffering with this for months before we found out.

I posted earlier that this was Codas little piece of heaven on earth. Well, I can only hope he is there, happy and feeling good. He was such a good dog. Our house has felt empty without him here. We were lucky to have him with us, even if it wasn't nearly long enough.

Kades gone "green"

Kade loves his "green" chips. He can put down an entire can in minutes.

They're really Pringles sour cream and onion, but Kade insists on calling them his "green chips" Cute kid!

Move over David Beckham

Jabins competition soccer season has started!! His first game was a tie 3-3, but Jabin did make the last point that tied up the game:)

I mean you can clearly see the athleticism in his stance....

Jabin really is quite a good soccer player, I know I'm the mom....but he is fast and has a strong kick.

Action pic. Jabin is thrilled to be on a team that actually plays and knows their positions. And so am I.
