Well, Aida is at it again. I suppose it's not her fault that her delicate little feet are no match for the hot pavement. Last night Ben and I took her on a short walk to find some poo bags. Upon our return I noticed that Aida had something stuck on one of her back paws. When I got close enough, i realized that both of her back paws had torn similarly to that of her front paws a couple weeks prior. Unfortunately, the circular tear was larger on both her back paws. So we cleaned and wrapped up all four of her paws. We have been looking into getting her some booties especially for her trip to Luray, but you would not believe the cost of those suckers. To get good boots, that aren't known to falls off or wear through in one use, you are looking at a $55-$60 purchase....plus shipping and handling. Don't worry, we didn't purchase any boots for her...yet. We probably will eventually, but for now we are pricing around. .................................
As for the other things going on around these here parts.....it is still very warm outside. Ben has been working a few extra shifts as we are trying our best to pay down our credit cards. We have Aida all set up for the next 7 months with new heartworm and flea/tick medication and we're crossing our fingers that this preventative keeps those nasty ticks away. I have been baking a little more lately, and Ben seems to really enjoy that. I made some cinnamon rolls from scratch the other day (shown below). They turned out really good....they didn't last long. :)
The other day i went out with Aida for her morning bathroom break and underneath the back bumper of the highlander sat two baby morning doves. Later on when I came out to go to the store, the baby birds were still there probably trying to escape the sun's heat. I snapped this picture of the one baby, the other one had hopped out of frame. I must be a magnet of morning dove babies, as you may recall, Ben and I had two baby morning doves hatch in our window box planter at our old apartment. Anyway, I thought they were cute.
That's about all the news for now. Hope all is well with everyone. Looking forward to Luray in July and the Ohio trip at the end of July!!!

That's one expensive rescue puppy you have! Poor baby. She needs grandma and grandpa's soft grass yard to romp in instead of the nasty concrete. Can't wait to see you guys next week!
Love, mom
Have you taken her to the vet? Will she always be a delicate flower or will the footpads eventually toughen up? You're lucky she's so cooperative with bandaging her little feet; Cali would be a major pain--and Duke? Forget about it!
We talked to the vet and they wanted us to bandage her feet and keep them clean. If that doesn't work they said we might have to bring her in to get medicated creme of some sort. But for now we are using neosporin.
