Getting to Know Us!

Last November, we did a post about things we are grateful for.  Well, tonight, it's time to learn a little bit more about each of us (and we've let our sister, Flor, participate this time)! 

I'm Bo and I'm 7 years old.  My birthday is in April.  Being Mommy's first pup, I had a few years alone with her and at the end of the day, I am a TOTAL Mommy's boy (and her favorite)!  I LOVE playing fetch (I always bring the toy back, although I may not drop it), I've never met a stranger, giving kisses is a must, playing in water is amazing and I always follow Mommy around.  Mommy dresses me up a lot and wearing shirts may not be my favorite thing but I don't feel right without a bandana on. I've also got three pups that stayed in the family! I may not like car rides, belly rubs, or storms, but I will always LOVE you!

I'm Rex.  My birthday is in November and I'm 6 years old.  I am Mommy's protector but give me a few minutes and I'll love you too.  Or maybe just like you.  Mommy's got tons of nicknames for me and I am known as Sexy Rexi by some people.  I'm a cancer survivor and Grandma's favorite.  I LOVE eating poop (I know you think this is gross but I consider it a delicacy), belly rubs, romping around in the grass, chewing on antlers, sitting in Mommy's lap during car rides, and my brother and sister.  I may not be able to be alone, don't really like playing fetch and would rather be carried than walk anywhere, but give me a few minutes and I'll make you fall in love with me too!

I'm Flor, my birthday is in July and I'm three years old!  I was not always in the family with the boys, but am so glad I'm a part of the fam now!  I miss my old Mommy a lot but LOVE having two brothers!  I also LOVE giving kisses (watch out or I'll get the roof of your mouth), meeting new people, looking out the window on car rides, chasing my brother Rex, and playing with rabbits!  I don't really like belly rubs, would rather be outside no matter the weather, and whine when I don't get my way, but I guarantee you'll LOVE being around me with my wild attitude and love of life!

Thank Goodness for Pain Meds!

This last week has been a roller-coaster!  Things have been crazy for all of us, especially Rex.  Last weekend, Rex and Mommy were sitting on the couch and when Mommy and Rex got up, Rex yelped!  It scared all of us.  From then on, Rex couldn't use his back right leg - at all!  It was obvious something was very wrong. 

Monday morning Mommy got up early and called the vet doctor in Houston and got Rex the earliest available appointment - Thursday morning.  But we were in Waco!  I was really confused until Tuesday when Mommy came by the house and picked up Rex AND Flor and they didn't come back later...I was worried but I finally figured out that they were in Houston!  And how sweet of Mommy to send Flor along!  Her and Rex are very close so I'm sure Rex enjoyed the company but more than anything, I enjoyed my special time with just my Mommy and me!

I heard Mommy tell someone that Rex was having surgery Friday and we would get him back on Saturday.  I was very worried about him but he did so great!  It was wonderful to have him back around on Saturday.

During all this, Flor had a great time swimming at her Aunt's house!  And so did I when I got there this weekend!  It was so amazing!!!

Here's a few pictures of Rex too.  You can see the pins and plates in his leg in the x-ray!  Hard to believe he tore both his ACL and Meniscus.  And the square on his back/butt!  Ha!  Crazy surgeons!!

For now, it's lots of rest for Rex so things are a little boring around here for Flor and I but I'm so happy to have Rex back!

Doggy Heaven

Sorry for not posting this past week...life has been hectic.  First, our sister, Flor, got a haircut.  Big time.  Real short.  At first I wasn't too sure if I liked it and was a little stand-off-ish to her but it's grown on me!  She is still just as beautiful as ever!  Her long legs, her dark eyes, her sweet paws...I could go on. And she also got to spend the day at daycare with us!  It was fantastic.  She loved it. I think she had the most fun playing with the toys.  I caught her checking out the other boy dogs though...not good!

Anyhow, our Mommy got us a subscription to BarkBox and we just got our first box in the mail last week.  Let me tell ya - it's like heaven in a box.  It was filled with tons of different treats, chew sticks and a fun little toy!  My favorite treats are the barbeque ones - de-lish! I can't wait to see what next month's box is filled with!

Ok well it's off to bed for us.
