It has been a busy past few weeks! The most exciting event was the birth of my niece. I’m very lucky to have many nieces and nephews from my husband’s side of the family, but this was the first baby from one of my siblings. My twin sister had a little girl and she is so precious and immensely loved already. I was able to go to meet her a few days after she was born, and sharing that time with my parents, sisters, and my brothers-in-law was incredibly special.
In less exciting news, I spent the majority of last week sick and in bed, although the timing of my sickness was rather fortuitous as Wickham was scheduled last minute to be neutered, therefore my being home with him for his recovery was quite helpful. They say that the recovery process for male dogs is much quicker than when female dogs are spayed, however it can still be a challenging 10-14 days. He is still a puppy and constantly wants to run and play, activities that do not aid in the healing process! Keeping him calm without walks or active play is a real struggle, he and I will both be relieved when he can resume his daily exercise! Despite his dislike of the cone and diapers while he heals, he is still so sweet and loving. As he grows and we see more of his personality emerge Carlos and I fall more and more in love with him. He has been the perfect addition to our little family.
