It's March!?

I don't know where the time has gone... well, I do know....  We've now officially been 'home' longer than we were in the hospital.  Ryan is 10 months/6.5 months.  He is mostly happy when his tummy is cooperating, he needs help getting to sleep, but stays asleep if his tummy cooperates. I also noticed that our pageviews on this ol' blog have reached over 20 000.  I remember when I hit 1000 and was surprised.  Thank you everyone for your support along the way.
I am writing this post through teary eyes because we have finally decided that it is probably better if we find a new forever home for our beloved dog Baxter.  We had high hopes that Ryan would be doing a lot better by this point, and that we'd be able to have him back home.  But with 2 surgeries looming, endless appointments and follow-ups, we just can't provide the home that an amazing dog like him deserves.  Sure, he has his issues - he poops on the basement floor when he gets nervous, he jumps on visitors, but man - he was the best best friend ever.  To add to the sad-irony, we took a chance on him when we got him - he was the tiniest runt of his litter, he had a heart murmer, and it was iffy as to whether he'd make it.... an all too familiar story.  Well, he made it and he's awesome.  Much like his new bro who he has yet to meet.  That's all I can say for now.

Always good for a laugh
