Baylor has surgery

Unfortunately, our sweet Baby had to have surgery on Tuesday.  About a month ago his toe nail fell off which has led us on a chase as to why and why it won't heal.  We exhausted the avenue of cysts, spider bites, etc.  And after multiple x-rays/antibiotics and pain meds, it was decided that it could be bone cancer.  So, we made the decision to have that particular digit amputated, and well as 5 cysts cut out, and since he was under anesthesia anyway, we also got his teeth all cleaned.  So, he was like a new man!  Well as luck would have it, he bit off part of the wrapping causing up to make another trip back to the Vet on Wednesday.  We thought they would re-wrap it, but in stead thought we needed to let it heal with the air.  So, we left with no wrapping, and "Cone of shame", and extra pain meds.  Sure hoping our sweet angel feels better soon.  It is so hard to watch him suffer, bang into walls and have no energy.  I try to feed him and take him out, but he will not have any of that with the cone on.  Unfortunately, as soon as I take off the cone, he is constantly going after the raw area on foot.  So, looks like the cone will be hanging around with us for a while.  :(  We love you Baylor and hope you heal up soon so we can play again!

 

Strength and Unity Class Social

This afternoon we had our Sunday School class social at Collins Park.  It was a fun family day with picnic, play, bubbles, etc.  The highlight was definitely the water balloon launchers!  We are blessed to have such an amazing class and group of friends who remind us daily about all of God's blessings and promises.  We truly do "do life" together.

Another COUSIN is on his way!

We are so blessed that Uncle Christopher and Aunt Heather are bringing us another cousin!  Gamee and I decided that Baby JACOB DONALD HALL needed a little "sprinkle" so we threw a small shower for family and close friends.  The name Donald will be after Grumps who was a great man and Cindy's Dad.  It is always such a legacy when names are passed down by generations.  I truly believes this way their spirit lives on.  At the shower, we were able to spoil her with diapers and all the necessities that go into having another baby.  We cannot wait to meet him. Now hurry up Jacob!

HAPPY 11th Birthday Prince BAYLOR

I cannot believe my first "baby" is now 11 years old!  Baylor continues to be very active.  He loves it when I lay next to him on the floor or when Daddy wrestles with him.  He weighed in at 52 lbs for his annual check up and we couldn't be happier to see him every day.  My favorite part of coming home is knowing that he will be waiting right at the door with his nose waiting to welcome us with w tail wag.  He asks for so little (yes, I do know he cannot talk!) and yet gives us blessings back 10 times what we could ever give him.  He is loyal in all ways and just love our furry baby!  Here is to many more great years Baylor.  We all adore you!
