We had a great weekend with my nephew, Brandon!  We took him to the aquarium and just had a blast watching him get so excited about all the fish and the white tigers.  He would point to the tigers and say, "Ouch!  Bite you!"  Too cute. 

Also had another great baby check up today.  Here's an updated pic - 29wks/4days!  Getting huge now!

GIRLY GIRL!!!

We got a great view of a very healthy, very active, baby girl!  She moves constantly!  It was so neat to see her kicking and moving her fist and feel it at the same time.  We are on cloud nine.  I have to say Thank You Lord for such a great report!  The doc said we couldn't have had a better, healthier check up.  Here she is:

Her profile.  You can see her nose and a fist.

Here you can see her face from the front.

No boy parts here!

We could see her flip over onto her tummy for this pic.  You can really see her spine.

Last, but not least, a 3d image of her face.

It is done.  Beau is gone.  We found him a new family and he left at noon today.  It was harder than I thought, but not because of me missing him, but because I felt bad about the thought of him missing us and not understanding why we were not there anymore and why was he not in his home.  I also felt really bad for Myk and Kelli.  They were really attached to him and I think it will be hard for them not having him around.  However, they did understand the necessity of him going.  It will be sad though when Maggie Moo comes over looking for her friend and he will be gone.  I don't think she'll mind, however, not having someone constantly chewing her ears to pieces.  I admit, I did cry.  I cried like a baby.  I may even cry when Myk gets home from work and his doggy is not here to greet him this time. 

The new family is great though.  They are originally from LA, too, and live pretty close.  The wife reminds me so much of my Aunt Gail, which is an awesome thing because it was so relieving when I met her and realized just how good she was going to be to him.  She has two other dogs, a pup Beau's age and size, and then an older dog. Their little pup needed a playmate and I think that will be good for Beau, too.  It will be hard for me though to hear my little nephew calling out for Beau when he comes over.  Everytime I get on the phone with him, he just says, "Beau, Beau, Beau."  He did love Beau, but Beau could get pretty jealous of him and that worried me with the new baby coming.  Maybe when we're through birthing babies and the kids are older we'll try again with an older, calmer dog.  Until then, so long Beauregard Lafitte Devereaux.  Myk and Kelli will miss you, and maybe even me, just a little.

I don't know, you tell me.  I'll take the best offer.  Seriously, Beau is for sale.  I just cannot tolerate him anymore.  It's not that he is really bad, well maybe sometimes, I just don't like having a dog and he annoys me.  He seriously causes me to have anxiety and raises my blood pressure to unhealthy levels.  Yesterday I was stuck at home with him all day because Kelli needed my car and I literally hid out in our bedroom for like 3 hours just to get away from him.  I don't even like being in the same room with him.  The things normal people think are cute and adorable about animals, I find annoying and grotesque - it just errks me to know end.  He is 9 months old, small in size (but a stout 9 lbs), he's neutered, up to date on all of his shots, he's AKC registered, and house broken.  He also knows the commands to sit, lay down, beg, shake, hide, play dead, roll over, fetch, get in his kennel, get down, & get out.  He is very smart and has a cute face,he loves to romp through the woods and ride on 4-wheelers,  I just really, really don't like him and fear I may do something regrettable if he stays.  I would love to find him a good home, preferably with someone we know and with someone who likes doggies doing the things doggies do and think that those doggy things are cute, but I'm not going to be too picky about who takes him.  I would give him away, but he was expensive, dang expensive, the most regrettable money I've ever spent on anything.  I sound like a horrible person, I know, but I really don't care at this point.  He's just got to get out of my house.  If your interested, or know someone who would be, please let me know ASAP!!!

thanks,

doggy hater

Just some cute pics of my nephew at the beach.  He had so much fun, and we had even more fun watching him have fun.  He did throw a little hissy fit when we had to leave and just threw himself on the ground in protest.  It was cute though.

He loves to play with "Myk-Myk".

Running through the sand with Nana.

My favorite pic of him!  Pure joy in his face.

Hissy fit.
