Weddings. Baby Showers. New K9 Family Member?

July 13th, 2012 at 12:59 am

We have two weddings coming up.

The first one is this weekend. DH's cousin. It's a bit of a drive, but looks to be a fun, low-key family get together. It's a potluck and we are bringing spinach dip and bread. I bought a cute card for $2.50 and I am thinking we'll put a $25 gift card inside. Not sure to what yet???

The next wedding is in the first part of August. One of DH's close friends. Going to be a bit more spent on this one because DH is the best man and DD is the flower girl/junior bridesmaid. SO, DH needs a certain vest, tie and a new white shirt. DD needs a dress. We are planning to get the couple a Lowe's gift card as per their wish list. $25 I think I'll buy it thru PlasticJungle.

And baby showers coming up too..

My BFF has her baby shower the weekend after the second wedding. It's about a four hour drive from my house. I will probably buy her diapers and maybe a cute clearance outfit.

It's likely that we will combine the drive up for the shower with a family camp trip at one of our fav California State parks. It's only an hour'ish from BFF's house.

A girlfriend in my town is having a low-key shower a few weeks later. Probably buy diapers for her.

Looking into a local rescue for a possible new canine family member.

"Maxx", our Labrador, is doing okay. He is on once daily prednisone for whatever spinal/nerve issue he has. He moves around almost normally while his is on the meds. Other than stumbling around a little bit, he is his normal self. We still want to try some acupuncture treatments for him.

"Maxx" seems lonely without another dog around and I want our next dog to observe "Maxx's" good habits and behavior. Because we don't know exactly what is wrong with him, or how long he'll be with us, I am starting to look for a second dog now.

    This is the first i'm reading about your dog, but the first thing that pops into my mind is Lyme Disease. Has the vet tested for that? It can make a young dog seem old and stiff.

    The idea of the old dog teaching the new dog behaviors made me laugh. We had a male border collie (best and smartest dog in the world ever) and got a young female whippet mix. The border collie (best and smartest dog in the world ever--I'm still in mourning!Smile ) taught the new dog to lift her leg when, ahem, you know. Seven months after the border collie died, little whippet still lifts her leg. I think she will forever.

    Probably not what you meant in terms of teaching habits, but that's what worked out at our house! Wink

    patientsaver - Thanks. We did test for Lyme and he was neg. Unfortunately, his issues are more complicated. Frown
    Swimgirl - Too funny!
