cream and fat: doctor's orders

Abigail had her one year wellness check last Thursday, weighting 17lbs, 14oz

(that's a whopping 14 oz gain in the last 3 months)

As a result, she's been put on a strict diet: milk shakes, cream, fatty ground beef, mac and chesse with extra butter and cheese, and just about anything your dream "no calories count" day would consist of.

The trick will be cooking all this fatty goodness and not gaining weight with her!

Our next appointment is in 3 months- let's hope Miss Petite has put on a few pounds by then :)

Minnie

I knew this would be a hard post to write, so I've been putting it off. On Monday morning, we said goodbye to Minnie. After months of weight loss I brought her into the vet early this week. I had been noticing the weight loss, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I started to see how skinny and malnourished she was getting. The vet determined she was suffering from late-stage hyperthyroidism and her kidneys were shutting down. It was a painful assessment; why I didn't notice it earlier and help her? That thought still haunts me. But at 11am on Monday morning, through a mountain of tears, regret, and sorrow, I bid farewell to the most loyal friend I've ever known.

It was my 21st birthday and Rebecca and Steph came over bearing a gift (more specifically, a brown grocery bag). I opened it and looked inside; there you were,...

Lake Wenatchee

Happy Birthday, Kevin! We spent an awesome 4 days on Lake Wenatchee this past weekend; relaxing by the lake, (attempting) to fish, playing in the water, and enjoying quality time together as a family. Our parents joined us on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Kevin's birthday; a wonderful day full of family, food, and the great outdoors. Weekend highlights include Fish Lake on Friday (Abigail and i will not be invited back for the next fishing adventure...we may have mangled the line more than once), a trip into Leavenworth for pizza and dancing at the gazebo, a steak feast for Kevin's birthday, and relaxing by the bonfire that evening. Here are some pictures of our trip. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle While Kevin fished, Abigail and I fed Parmesan garlic pita chips to the ducks. At one point, we had a crowd of 10! Ladies of leisure on the lake :) This sums up our fishing experience... Thursday evening f...
