I'm so glad to hear that everything went well with Shermie!!!

Well...I'm off to get married tomorrow 35 hours till we leave for Disney!!! Gotta go pack. I look forward to coming back to read the rest of your report and share mine with you all

ahhhhh...I"M GETTING MARRIED

welp, you're probably married by now. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! i hope your big day was everything you hoped it would be! can't wait to hear all about the disneymoon!!!!

Just finished reading your posts and am caught up. It has been a pleasure reading.You can tell you both had a really good time and are Disney lovers.I am loving your pictures.
How is your boys doing tonight Sherman is so cute. My older brother has a beagle and I know all about the HOOOOOOWLLL it is the same with our chi-pin he has the Chihuahua bark that pierces the eardrums very distinctive.
Looking forward to reading more.

thanks!!! well, ray's a disney lover while we're there. he's a closet disney lover at home. i'm out though.....i'm not ashamed!

Just caught up on everything, TR, vet visit, future babies. Geez I go away for a couple of days and the whole world falls apart
Glad to hear your puppy is o.k. Those tumor things can be scary. I was a young mom and wish that I had experienced life a little more, like you and Ray. Now I have to wait until my kids are grown to enjoy my spouse, alone. Can't believe you are so close to your next trip!!

yep, life is crazy right now! i can't believe i'm so close to my next trip either! the next few weeks are gonna be crazy.

i'm glad ray and i have had our time alone together. i think it's made us realize both our strengths and weaknesses and hopefully that will make us better parents. but i think we're both ready to have a little one!

Just caught up Dawn and how great Alice and Mad Hatter rode the teacups when you did, pity they didn't ride in your cup but still very magical

hey, jo! yes, that was a very magical moment for me for sure!!! i was just giddy.

hey, guys! i've been soooooo busy lately! i promise an update at some point this weekend. in the meantime.......

thank you all so much for your kind words to sherman and eli. they're both doing well. eli is totally back to normal, following me around the house and wanting to go outside every 20 minutes! sherman is still very tired. ray took off work today and stayed with him because i had court all day. he said he did fine but that his back leg did seem a little sore. i've got to call the vet tomorrow to see if there's anything i can put on his arm wound so he won't lick it. we've caught him doing it several times. anyway, he's sleeping a lot but that's probably due to the medicine he's taking. but he still gets excited about food so that's a sign that he's okay!

i took some pictures of his wounds just to e-mail to our family (our dogs are like our children) and just so i'd have them to look at later. i know that sounds wierd but i've always taken pictures of wounds, even on myself. chris (of the anna/chris/luke combo that just joined our TR) once was in a really bad jeep accident and was in a coma for a few days. anna took pictures of him all laid up in the hospital and i asked her why she did that. she said the nurses told her to, that she and chris would want to look back and see them. not that sherman's surgery is anything comparable to that, but i still wanted pictures.

anyway, here they are. this is his back leg where they removed the one fatty tumor:

this is his front leg where they removed the big wart that they're sending off to have checked for cancer:

he doesn't have stitches here, but they shaved the back of his ear to burn off a wart back there and it just looks funny to me. poor little guy!

he's also got like 2 stitches under his neck from a wart removal, but i didn't want to bother him to get a picture of that.

of course i had to show off eli's pretty new white teeth. he's looking at me like, "i so hate you right now."

the picture below was taken yesterday. after we got sherman back from the vet and settled in, i went into my office to work. i took a break about an hour later and when i came into the living room this is what i saw. ray had hooked him up!

you can see the little burn mark on his face from where they burned off that wart. it will look normal in a few days.

so this weekend the plan is just to stay at home while sherman recovers. i've got plenty of work to do so i'm kinda glad! plus the olympics start tomorrow and ray and i are always really into the olympics. gymnastics, swimming and soccer all three start tomorrow and those are my favs, so i'll have plenty to watch over the weekend. we may go catch "wall-e" on sunday if sherman's doing okay. neither of us have seen it and i'm dying to.

as i said, we've all been busy. since anna, chris and luke are now part of my trip report, i feel i should include their big events of this week. luke started pre-school this past monday. SUCH a big deal!!!

apparently luke's school has a pet bird and it decided to attack luke's head. i would have flipped out!!!

poor mommy.....her little boy's growing up!

when anna picked luke up that afternoon she asked him what he wanted as a first-day-of-school treat and he said a blue slushie!

so cute!

oh, and last but not least, my updated countdown calendar!!!!!!!!!

EXCITING STUFF!!!!!!!!!!

 

[KatGarcia]

AWWWW I wanna just hug sherman!!! What a cutie and a trooper too! Poor guy!

 

[VandyFan10]

Sweet sherman....I hope you feel much better soon! Tell Eli to lay off!!

Eli...since I'm in the dental business...you teeth look AWESOME!!

EXCITING STUFF!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yes it is!!!!

I'll do several more day's and then I'll take a picture of mine

 

[Charleston Princess]

Glad to hear both your boys are recovering so well!

Luke's first day of preschool -- awwww!

According to your countdown calenday, today should be 25 days, right? Woo hoo!

Did you watch the Opening Ceremonies last night? I always get teary-eyed when the United States athletes march in!

 

[disneyfav4ever]

I'm glad to hear your dog's are recovering and getting better. That one last picture of Sherman wrapped all up in blankets with Pluto is so sweet.

 

[Camster0307]

Yeah - glad your puppies are doing well! That picture of sherman with his Disney pals was just too cute. That's what my girls do when they're not feeling well - snuggle with their favorite stuffed Disney character!

And, I don't know how the Jonas Bros. were on SYTYCD Thurs. night because that was the night my DD and I were watching them, in person, in Mansfield, MA! Oh - the magic of TV!

(have to admit - they're concert was pretty good!)

 

[Camster0307]

Dawn - I hope you don't mind but I "borrowed" a few of your shots of SSR to show my DIS buddies on another thread. The VandyGirls have inspired us to plan our own DIS meet for the fall of 2009. I'm pushing hard to stay at SSR and want to show the rest of the girls how pretty it is. I thought you had some wonderful shots at the beginning of your TR - so I'm using them to convince the group to stay there!

 

[VandyFan10]

Woooooo Hooooooo

D - 25 days!!!!

 

[MeMom]

The calendar is looking good!

Sweet First Day pictures. I clearly remember many First Day pictures for my three. Very sweet, special memories.

The pictures of Sherman are bringing tears - poor little guy. Hopefully, he will be feeling all better very soon!

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

Sherman is so cute all snuggled up in the blankets!

I'm so happy that he's okay. I hope the biopsy comes back negative.

You're so close to your next trip already!

 

[Hedy]

Glad Sherman's better!

 

[winkers]

I'm so glad your babies are ok!

 

[ibdamamma]

OMIGOSH! I just stole your flat Matica and Beana idea! We will be bringing along Sue and Katie our friends from VA Beach, and Chucky, Claire and Alicia from my work. The girls are getting so excited and I thank you for writing this TR, I have read others and it's amazing to read others experiences and get ideas!

I am glad too that your babies are doing better!
