It's been a busy few months! Eric is growing like a weed and is now nearly 11 months old. He has four teeth with two more coming in on top. Darin has a new job, and we're so happy that he's off shift work! What we missed most while he was working odd hours was just the simple things and the daily routine of waking up at the same time, having dinner together, and finishing up the day with our heads on the pillows with a chat about how fast it all went (other stuff too, but I'll spare you the kinky details.) :)
Ben's had two surgeries in the last month or so removing cancerous tumors, and I'm starting to get the point that his time remaining with us is limited. He's my dog, and I will miss him so much. I know one thing, I will need some serious grief counseling. But, in the mean time, he's getting to do whatever the hell he wants to each day, including letting him eat whatever the hell he wants to eat. I even let him chew the shit out of a sock yesterday. I think he's pretty pleased with all that.
Jake is still a tank. He's healthy as a horse, and other than attitude problems here and there, he's doing really well for an old dog. He's found the perfect spot to get away from E - comfy leather chair with cuddly quilt. He scoots all the way back and falls asleep. Smart dog.
