Tad and Uncle Jake Get a Haircut!

Ben Update: Ben had surgery on December 31. Can't believe how long it has been!! I bet he feels the same way. He is doing great. He has been off of crutches for about a week and a half. He still has the boot on his foot but is able to apply full pressure. He has had a little pain once he started walking but that is to be expected. He is healing up and is on the mend.



Louie Update: Louie went back to the vet yesterday. He is still losing quills. The fungus culture they have been incubating showed a weak positive. It takes fungus a long time to grow so they are going to check it again and they think it will show a strong positive in two weeks. They thought Louie's skin showed some signs of improvement and think we are on the right track. The little guy may need 6 weeks of medication though as fungus is sometimes a booger to get rid of. He still acts fine and his eating and activity levels have not changed. He goes back in two weeks for another check-up.



If any of you are in the Stillwater area I highly recommend the OSU Vet Clinic. They are wonderful and so thorough. The price is not bad either! It actually cost less to take Louie there than the two other places I took him prior.



Below are some recent photos:

Below: Tad and Uncle Jake sporting their new haircuts! Tad looks older now with his shorter hair. Bryan and Ashley gave Tad his first haircut. They said he had a good time and thought it was fun. No first haircut tears for him!
Below: You just never know... :)
Below: Tad picking on Lisa. He thought it was fun to climb all over her. He would get off of her and run around with this ornery little grin on his face and then climb right back on.
Below: Tad came to Ryan and my house. He can come over anytime he wants! Every time he does he has a cleaning utensil in his hand. Is a one year old trying to give us a hint?? Here he was trying to get through the door but the sweeper got stuck.
Below: Tad was combing his hair with Beauty's brush.
Below: This picture did not turn out to well... but I love the little smile on his face.
Below: Last weekend we went to see Ryan's Grandmom (Marilee Schuler). She is such a sweet lady. It was her birthday. It was fun getting to see her and some of Ryan's other family we don't see near enough.
