So many milestones, RIP Zeus
Zeus the night before we had to put him down
Rest in peace my beautiful Zeus. June 4th, 2009 we had to put Zeus down at 10:45am. it was truly one of the most heartbreaking moments Josh and I have ever been through together. Zeus could no longer eat due to a growth (possible cancer) in his stomach. He only had a few days left, so we opted to put him down sooner than later – we didn’t want him to starve to death! We are so devastated, but know it is for the best. Now Barnum can get more attention and more walks. We will always miss him. Zeus was the perfect example of how great pit bulls can be. He was actually kind of a wuss…Even though he was 120lbs (before he got sick that is, he was below 100lbs when we put him down) he slept under the covers with us,and he had no idea how strong or powerful he was. OK, now I’m about to cry, so I will move on to happier thoughts.
I will always love you Zeus!
These last 2 weeks have been full of milestones. Lana is super mobile now. She can almost stand without holding on to anything. She started to clap on June 2nd or 3rd, and on the 4th she started to wave and say ‘ball’ (she already says ‘dada’). I’m still not sure she knows who ‘mama’ is, but oh well…Tati got her first tooth on the 3rd, and her second tooth popped through today. Yay! Now its just a matter of time for Lana’s teeth to come through. Lana has had some sleep/nap issues lately – which I am hoping are due to teething.
The girls are down to 3 bottles now, and have 3 meals and some snacks. Only 2 more months before they get regular milk!
I started school recently – it’s going well. I started just as Zeus got very sick, so that made it a little hard. But I am looking forward to next semester already! So far both classes are hard, but I am actually trying to learn the concepts, not just get by. Speaking of school, I should get back to my homework….One last thought – we may get our yard landscaped and I am beyond excited. It would change so many things for us. How nice would it be to have friends over, or playdates, or let the girls play on the grass!! Also, I have not been at the gym in toooo long, but I am trying to walk and jog, and have lost a few more pounds….
Tatiana nakie! Don't worry - Josh was right there so she couldn't fall
Lana nakie! Josh was right here also...
And we have gone fishing a few times now! Its so great to be out there. We got great pictures of a hawk, and did some wine tasting last time – can’t wait to go back!
