Foster puppy

It's a very long story, but I rescued this border collie puppy from a pound here where his brothers, sisters and momma were put to sleep. He and his brother were saved. His brother went to live with a friend of mine, and he came home with me. He is going to Border Collie rescue so he can find a great home.
Here are his pics

I LOVE this pic!



Definitely a herder!


Agility partners in the making!



Looking beautiful!

Adan's turn to scare the crap out of me.

Adan and his friend Addison were in the double stroller waiting for us to get ready to go on a walk. They turned around and stood up at the same time and the stroller fell backwards. He hit his head on the bar when it hit the floor. I thought he broke his nose it is HUGE and purple right between his eyes. He's fine now, and is acting normally. I called the Dr and he said to just keep an eye out for concussion symptoms, but he's acting perfectly normal. He's getting two black eyes now, though.

Sigh.. such is life with boys, right?

Lukas- ONE month old!

Lukas had his 1 month check up today. He weighed 11 pounds, 11.1 ounces. That's a 3 pound and 6 ounce gain in one month. WOW!!!

He's lifting his head and turning it from side to side. He's also making eye contact and seems to be focusing more on toys.

Adan is seriously the best big brother ever. Every time Lukas cries, Adan tries to beat us to him so he can 'console' him. That usually consists of him petting him and saying "shhhh baby" or he tries to pick him up. He's the best big brother ever.

Picking flowers for momma

One of Adan's favorite pastimes is picking flowers for his mommy. It's so sweet. He gathers as many as his little fists can hold, then he presents them to me in a squished little bouquet. It's enough to make your heart melt.













And here is Adan with the giant teddy I got from Miguel for Valentine's Day.

Already giving mommy trouble

Last Sunday morning Lukas woke up with a very high fever. I called the on-call nurse and she said to bring him to the ER since his fever was over 100.4. His was actually 101.6, which is like 104 in adults. It's very dangerous. We headed for the ER at 6am Sunday morning. After some tests that broke my heart, he was admitted to the hospital. Test after test was performed, but they couldn't figure out why his temp. was so high. We stayed for 3 days and finally was discharged when his fever went down. The only diagnosis was some sort of virus. He's doing very very well now, thank God. It was a horrible time for both of us. I can't imagine how tough it was for him.

I have some photos on my phone and I need to down-load them to the computer. I'll try to get them up soon.
