Pug Luv

Oliver and Quincy

We are all totally hooked on our little pugs! They are so cute and loveable, so much fun to have that even those who were not huge dog fans are completly in love with them. They are living the life too! Eat, sleep, play, play, play, get treats, sleep, eat.... life is rough!

Ethan and Quincy, best buddies.

Lindy and Oliver

 Oliver  Ahhh..... the coolest place to sleep.

 When out of crates and given the choice to sleep together they always find each other and snuggle up.

 Quincy - the best birthday gift ever!

 Quincy + Lindy = Love

Oliver's total cuteness is also in his personality. Quincy was at the back door whining when Oliver went and got a leash and carried it over to Quincy so he could go out. So sweet, they love each other so much!

Bubble Wrap

It's so Paige, a summer cast. When we were waiting for the doctor to come in and check her arm we realized she has broken her arm all three times in May. The first time was on Ethan's birthday. Fortunately we were not having a huge celebration on his birthday that year.

If you are looking for Paige next May you will find her wrapped in bubble wrap in her room. Bill said he's putting her in the end of April and she can come out the first of June. She can except visitors, food, gifts, etc but we are taking protective measures.

Honestly, she is being a pretty good sport! The pain has for the most part gone away. Now its just the inconvenience of having one arm for the beginning of summer and dealing with the heat and a cast. I will say this waterproof set up rocks. No more wrapping her arm at night to shower and the pool was fabulous for her. Wish they had come up with that years ago!

Splinted x2

Rachel and Paige Splinted

It was a busy week last week, what with Paige having to go to Urgent Care three times for her broken arm! Starting with the Dance Recital, she came home took off her costume and went outside to roller blade. Fell down, hurt her arm. I really didn't think much of it until the next day when her elbow was not visible! She was so swollen I couldn't see her elbow. She also couldn't bend her arm when she woke up. Trip #1 to Urgent Care (thank you Children's for putting an Urgent Care 3 minutes from my house!). X-ray's show not broken but it's Paige, which means she could be broken but not showing that yet due to swelling. Just like 3 years ago when she broke her wrist.

We leave with a splint and are told to return at the end of the week for repeat films. Friday afternoon we return and are given the all clear, no break, swelling is gone, splint is off, we return to happy, fun, summer play.

The next night we are at the park for the boys Shakespeare production and Paige falls playing of all things, Red Rover! Swelling wrist and tears = Urgent Care. Three hours later and we leave with a splint and instructions to go to the orthopaedist that week for casting. I know where that is since this would be the third time she has broken the same arm!

Two days later, the girls good friend Rachel, shows up with her splint! Same arm, different bone, but a broken arm friend. Someone to hang out with when you can't do what everyone else is doing. I felt so bad for Rachel but if she was going to break her arm she had good timing! It's always better to have someone to go through things with.

Here's to a great summer! We are off to a bang!

Casted!
