One of these things...

...will be moving in with us in five weeks!!!

Catching up

...since last October, that cute fuzzball:

1) was diagonosed with Addison's Disease and Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth in February of 2006, and

2) has to take multiple medicines every day since he,

3) owns virtually every inch of my heart, and

4) is about to be a big brother. A brand new fuzzball was born just yesterday, up in Oregon, and we're planning a family road trip to pick him up in early October. Yippee!

I'm pretty excited about the new puppy, but I can't say I'm looking forward to the extra work. I feel like we just finished the hard part, now that our baby turned 1 last month. However, since both my husband and I work at home - too much is expected of us on a regular basis. We just can't spend 24 hours a day throwing slimy dog toys (as much as we might like to.) And since not throwing them turns the guy into a whining, trembling mess, I hope to the doggy gods that getting him a brother will serve as a distraction. Yes, it just might backfire and we'll have two whining, trembling messes to deal with. But...well...I know we'll love every minute.
