Lexie's vacation & Andy's recovery

My sister's dog, Lexie, came to spend the weekend with us while they went out of town. As you can tell, Lexie is going to be ready to go home! Poor girl- she came with two hair bows and we hadn't even gotten out of Josh & Tracey's neighborhood before Emerson had pulled them out. That was only the beginning. Then Sam found a leash and him & Emerson have been diligently walking/dragging Lexie around our house. You can tell from the pictures how thrilled she is with this. She is such a mild mannered little dog- she just goes with the flow. As soon as I take the leash off- she hides very quickly. I have now hidden ALL of the leashes in the house.

Andy has been getting LOTS of love & not to mention a whole box of treats this week as he recovers. We have had a few setbacks as he figured out how to get his stitches out even with his cone collar! He had to go back to the vet for some staples AND a bigger collar and some major antibiotics. He refuses to eat his dog food unless I pour coffee creamer or milk on it. Kirt thinks I am giving in too easily and that he will eat eventually when he gets hungry- I make sure he eats every night (he is like one of my children- I can't let him be hungry). I am supposed to call the vet tomorrow for his pathology reports- we just pray that it is a benign tumor! We did find Emerson wearing his cone collar as a skirt- she wraps it around her waist like a tutu.
