Mom wants me to talk about some recent updates. We haven't had much to do around here. We have had no one to take us on walks but tonight Felicity took us for a good walk----that was fun!!!
Mom is still wearing the boot. Today she went to her "vet "and although she thought she had one more month in the boot, she found good news for all of us. She has two weeks to wean herself off the boot and adjust to a new ankle brace she was given. This is exciting news. We don't have to dodge the big giant boot much longer!!!! She can start walking on the even floor of the house and eventually get to walking around the neighborhood. She was also told she could maybe start to ride something called a stationary bicycle. I think you write letters on that? I don't know--not something in my dog world or my dog vocabulary--and I have GREAT vocab skills for a dog!
The difference in how her foot looks is pretty amazing. Here it is at 5 1/2 weeks. All you have to do is scroll down to see what it looked like before and how much swelling has gone down!

| ooh wee---a much better look! |
 |
| The new brace. |
On another front, I guess I have to talk about my new brother. He has taken some getting used to. Hasten plays with him constantly and to me, that makes him have major cooties!
He seems to be fitting in nicely though--he doesn't seem to matter at all if I growl at him or ignore him.

| He steals Hasten's antlers...and she really doesn't mind! |
 |
| Mouth wars!! |
 |
| I guess you could call him CUTE. |
Tonight--he was completely initiated into our family. Dad complained that Ciaran (Kieran) had rolled into something "bad." Now, folks, "bad" is a relative term. What us dogs thing is "bad" is really good! You should try it! Anyway, he got his first bath. He seemed a better sport than I . When they dowse me with soap and water, I shake and run away if I can... he was either really brave or stupid! If I start talking to him, I will tell him.
I hate to admit this, but since there is actual proof....on Saturday, I did actually get caught hanging out with all my siblings. Paparazzi is always around...snooping in my business! Yes, I admit it, that is me with both Hasten and Ciaran.

| Yeah--what of it? |
Oh, we thought you should see what Ciaran's lineage is like. Here is a picture of his mom and dad.
HE won't be going to any of those fancy confirmation shows!!!

| His Mom |

| His sibs |
I will also admit that he does one thing really well. Tires out my sister---so she isn't bothering ME all the time!!
Alright folks, I am outta here!!! I have opossums to hunt down in the backyard!!!
Peace Out!
