What have we been up to

To say our house has been crazy that last couple of weeks would be an understatement.  This little boy has been very sick, you wouldn't tell it from the above pictures.  We started off last week with a little temperature after we woke up from our afternoon nap.  We took some motrin and went on with our day.  Later that night Connor got really fussy and wouldn't drink his bottle. His temp was 102.5 at that point.  I gave him another dose of motrin and held him downstairs for the next couple of hours...he cried whenever I laid him down in his crib.  He was like a little heating pad on my chest.  He never fell asleep and I held him until around 4a.m. and checked his  temp again and it was now 104. We finally fell asleep on the couch at around 4:30a.m. We went to the doctor and they did a rapid strep test on him and thankfully it was negative.  Turns out Connor had tonsillitis.  He started to get a little better  and then he broke out in a huge rash all over his body.  A week later we still have a runny nose and some sneezing, but bye bye temp.

My last post was about Hunter.  He is a little better, but still having pain in his hips.  We try to not let him go up and down the steps but he loves to go downstairs and lay in his crate.  We got him a huge pillow for inside his crate.  It will be a miracle if you doesn't chew it.  You would think that a ten year old dog would have outgrown the chewing stage...well think again!!!!!!
