Only Three Little Legs + Lots of Running = One Tired Puppy

Her little hot pink cast has not slowed her down at all! This afternoon I finally had to make her settle down.  She propped up like this on her own.

 She's become used to wearing it and getting around great! They said it was good for her to move around on it as long as she did not jump around. She broke out into a frantic run today and was quiet tired afterward!!! She runs with it hoisted in the air. We take her back Friday for it to be re-wrapped and then next week for another x-ray.

 After her afternoon of playing she slept hard!

Can You Sign My Cast Please?

We don't know how it happened......Zoe was playing in the yard yesterday afternoon when Brett heard her squeal and then limp around the house back to him. We checked her out but nothing appeared to be broken. She continued to limp or not put any weight on it at all. This morning when I got up she still wanted to hold it up and not put pressure on it or walk. So Brett took her to the vet and left her so they could x-ray and check her out. Result ~ broken ulna just above the wrist.

It will be wrapped for about three weeks. So no spring fun for Zoe....she can't even hobble yet. She's scared to walk. :(

Time Passes Slowly By...

Putting on the finishing touches....

Tiny Dog Possessed = Large Mess

I'll never know exactly how Zoe did this! 

 I would love to have had a video camera recording her in action. 

This is what I came home too today. 

Her bed in two pieces and upside down.

 Pieces of the foam from her bed scattered throughout the room. 

DON'T even ask me how Zoe actually unzipped the 

cover off the bottom part of her bed!!!

 LOVED to have seen that happen!  

She then proceeded to chew the zipper so I now cannot zip it back. 

After she finished off her redecorating of the bed she moved on to a potted plant. 

 Pulling the blooms and leave off a gerber daisy basket. 

I got home at 4:15 and she is just getting out of time out!

SURPRISE to Me - SURPRISE to Them ALL!!

This past Saturday I woke up feeling not so well. I relaxed until about 1:00 when I had to start getting ready to go to a shower in Springfield. Brett had been telling me all week that we were going to go out to eat in Savannah for my birthday afterwards so to dress accordingly. He has even went as far as telling me that he had called some friends to meet us but no one could make it on such short notice.
After leaving Springfield I needed to stop by the mall really quick. As we were there Brett slowly decided to make our way downtown. He wasn't in any hurry to get out of the mall. He did not drive his normal speed downtown and even turned back around to go down Jones Street to look at some houses. I told him we needed to hurry because technically you should be at a reservation 15 minutes ahead of your time. He continues to drive slowly down Bay Street and is not really at all concerned that we are going to be late to what I thought was a 7:00 reservation. We had to park in the underground parking garage and walk not too far. As we get to the door of The Bohemium to go to Rocks on the River Brett tells me he was wrong about the reservation and it's really at 7:30 so lets go up to the bar to Rocks on the Roof for a drink before dinner. So by this point I ask him what is going on! He repeatedly tells me nothing. When we get off the elevator and turn the corner, Ragen and Candice are waiting. I was SUPPOSED to act shocked!!!! What Brett and the rest didn't know was that a little birdy (Chris Roessler) let it slip on Wednesday thanks to Tiffany telling him the plan. Deanna, Ed, April and Marshall showed up a little late and then we went to dinner. 
Although I had some idea something was going on I didn't know who all would be at the restaurant. We had a really great dinner and a wonderful time. I will definitely want to go back. So glad I finally got to go! Yes, I did celebrate a birthday but I am not turning another year older! HAHA

Daddy

It's taken me quiet some time to figure out exactly what I wanted to write. The hardest thing I ever wrote was the obituary for daddy two weeks ago. Since he passed away emails from all over the world have been sent to me. I always new that daddy had friends everywhere and touched so many lives but I did not realize just how many until this happened to our family. We've received countless emails from Canada, France, Italy, Chile, Argentina, Spain, Tiawan, Sweden, Germany, Belguim, Ireland, and around the US. So many people considered him more than a friend but family. I've read that he was the first American someone ever met, someone loved his American accent, that he was a hero in their lives, and an American cowboy. One man from Ireland wrote to tell me that his children growing up first thought that daddy was Mr. Rogers from Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. I've always known my daddy was a great man. He always wanted the best for his family as well as his friends. Daddy loved life to it's fullest and never let anything get to him. I did not know just how much he was truly loved until his passing.
I am so thankful to have had him in my life and that he watched me grow into the woman I am now. I am thankful that he was able to share my special day with me when Brett and I got married. I will forever remember the look on his face when he first saw me in my dress and the way his kissed my check as tears rolled down his face. I know that he will forever be looking down on us and smiling as we continue to live. He'll be watching and guiding us as Brett and I build a family of our own.
He is our hero, our American cowboy, our father, our husband, our best friend. He's my daddy and always will be.
It still seems all so unreal to me that he is gone. It doesn't seem possible to not have him with us anymore because we were all such a big part of each other's daily lives. I keep asking myself if this is all real. I know that he is in a special place and will continue in our hearts. I love you daddy.

I would like to thank everyone who has supported us through this very difficult time in our lives. Everything has meant so much to us all.
