Bye-Bye Bottle

I consider myself very lucky today. On Thursday Chloe decided she didn't want a bottle anymore! I had her down to only 2 bottles a day, sometimes only 1, just as a nap time and night time thing. Our pediatrician told us children should be off the bottle around 12 months, but several moms told me it was more like 15 months. They were right and I am glad I didn't stress about it. On Thursday and Friday I kept trying to give Chloe a bottle like normal and she kept rejecting it. So today I used no bottles and everything was smooth going. My life of cleaning bottles day in and day out is finally over.

Double fisting!

Puddles

It has been raining off and on all week. I HAD to get the trash cans out and do a few things, so I took Chloe with me. I thought she would just stand there and wait for me. HA! Silly me! Before I knew it she was splashing in a puddle and wet up to her knees. We both were out in the rain for a little while until I had enough. She was NOT happy with me when I made her come inside!

Grass stains

Those would be my grass stained knees. I can't even remember the last time I had grass stains!



We went to a new vet today and thankfully Bailey is fine. She has a "sprain in the connective tissue and joint tip" in her back right leg. I was so worried this past weekend. We went to a very incompetent base vet on Friday who told us something was seriously wrong and had us quite upset. I am so relieved that I am drinking a large glass of wine right now. I am sure Bailey got that sprain trying to get away from one of Chloe's "hugs."

We came home from the vet and the 3 of us played outside for a little while. There was another dog walking our way so I got down on my knees and grabbed Bailey's collar. Chloe was standing on the sidewalk and I knew the dog so I just let her stay where she was. As the dog approached Chloe, Bailey pulled me so hard I skidded across the grass and onto my stomach. I was completely shocked. Bailey hasn't ever really shown any protective tendencies. If someone broke in house she would let them take what they want as long as they pet her in the process. So I guess Bailey really does love Chloe! I am pleasantly surprised.

Ok, back to my wine!

Our Bailey

We're worried. :(

I noticed about a week ago that the joint on Bailey's back leg looked large and lumpy. I compared it to the other leg and it was definitely different. I went to the base vet today to have it looked at. The vet didn't have good news for me, he said it could be a bone deformity or bone tumor. I have her scheduled for x-rays on Monday afternoon. Keep your fingers crossed that it isn't serious.

We thought the blue tutu looked better on Bailey!
