Cousins

We went to Boise a couple weeks ago to visit and took some family pictures. I love this one of all the cousins sitting together- Jakob (15 mos), Ava (11 1/2 mos) and Austin (5 1/2 mos). It's so crazy that we're all grown up and have children of our own now. I love seeing the reflections of ourselves in them. Amazing.

Fat Dog

Brett took Bailey to the vet this week for his annual check up and shots. The vet weighed him and he tipped the scale at 98 pounds! Last year he weighed in at 85. So, according to the vet gaining this amount of weight in a year's time is like a human gaining 100 pounds! Our poor dog has become fat with an extra inch around his middle! I'm not surprised since the lack of outdoor activity we've had since Austin was born. He's not getting his nightly 1 hour walk like usual- maybe just 2-3 times a week at 40 minutes max.

So, Bailey Boo, I'm sorry to say that you're officially on a diet. Your poor Labrador joints are too fragile to be carrying around a fat tire. No more table scraps, no more extra dog treats, a precise amount of dog chow. I promise, we do this because we love you. Ruff! :)
