Family Weekend

This weekend harold and I practiced being a mommy a daddy....

Thursday June 26 was Roxie's FIRST birthday =) I planned a BBQ at the house on saturday for everyone to come and bring thier little fur babies... lets just say it was the cutest thing ever! Everyone came and all the little dogs got along.. roxie was the biggest one and that was funny... i made her a cake and made all the dogs wear little leis... TOOO CUTE! lol People even brought roxie gifts!!!! she had a very good time and slept for 2 days straight to get over how tired she got from all the running around! lol!!!!

The real practice came on friday morning... roxie woke up early like always and harold took her outside. she has a bad habit of coming back up stairs and scratching for a while.... i didn't pay to much attention to her since she always does this. Well.. after a while she came close to me in bed and touched her neck... lets just say that she was all full of bumps everywhere and her face was red and swollen. I FREAKED OUT! i ran downstairs and got her a benydryl. roldi woke up and we just stared at her helplessly. she was restless for another little bit and then dozed off to sleep... so did we. During the day her bumps would come and go. she was acting normal but the bumps and redness and the rash under her belly just didnt look to good. Night came and we went to bed.. harold says that she was restless like if she was hot.... well when we turned on the lights she was all red and puffy again. we would scratch her and try to make her comfortable but nothing would work.. gave her benydryl again and nothing... we even called the vet to figure out what time they opened in the morning. it took her about an hour but she finally laid down and fell asleep. I was so scared and all i wanted was for her to be better.

In the morning we took her to the vet and apperently something bit her outside maybe or she was having some major allergic reaction to something. The doctor gave her a shot of cortisone and epi.... my poor baby!!! You wouldn't believe it but her skin was almost perfect by the time we were home!!!! it was crazy! I've never seen anything like that! So that was our little adventure.... not too fun but damn it makes me realize how much we love this dog!!!

I got my wedding pictures last night =D They are amazing!!!!! there are about 1300 and they are magical!!! Roldi stayed up with me last night to see every single one of them! I am so in love with this man. I am so lucky - blessed... i don't even know what to call it. The coolest part is that I'm pretty sure he feels the same way about ME! =)

May we live happily ever after....
