I came across these photos the other day of my little Chopper over one year ago on May 5, 2007, my Dad's birthday. I can't help but think that although the past year and a half have been HORRIBLE for me, one good thing did happen. This little guy came into my life, even if he's not that little anymore!
I took him to the vet a little over a month ago he weighs 63 pounds now. I had to take him to the vet because he had gotten two ticks while we were at Brandon's sisters. They were really, really little, but they looked fine after we got them out. About a week later they had gotten pretty infected and I thought maybe we had left the mouth or something in there, which is why we went to the vet. He was tested for lime disease and came up negative, but it could take weeks for it to show up in his blood. To be on the safe side the vet put him on some meds, twice a day for one month. He just finished them up and all looks good. I worried a bit much though about it. The medicine he was on had him just laying around and not doing much of anything. I'm glad he's done with it though and my wild pup Chopper is back!
I can't believe that just a year ago this little guy could fit in both of my hands....
And now well.. he's a bit bigger! :-)
I realize this isn't the most exciting post.. but I am going to try to blog more.. and not always sound so down, even if I am. So wish me luck!
My best buddy Mandy tagged me, and I'm embarrassed to say it was quite some time ago but I'm still doing it! LOL! I am always bummed no one ever tags me and I guess that's why. Anyway.. here it goes!
So here are the rules of the game:
Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post the player then tags 4 people and posts their names with links to their blog, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment letting them know that they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answers.

And I just had to share these photos of Chopper from this past winter. He LOVES playing in the snow! Him and Princess both do!
Love seeing all the doggy pics! My fave is the closeup ("now sized") where he's laying down looking at the camera - too sweet! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Aww, chopper is so cute! The same thing just happened with my daughter with the Lyme's disease!! She had a bullseye mark on her arm, but the doc said the blood test would take too long and he didn't want to take a chance - so we had her on antibiotics for 4 weeks! Glad your chopper is better now :-)
