Dogs! Dogs! Dogs!

While we made it 5000 miles with a 6 month old with no incidence, our little dogs had some troubles here at home.

Laura called the morning we left to say that Sophie appeared to have some kind of trouble with her paws. They took her to the vet and she had blisters on two of her paws. (So much for Beagle Bootcamp!) She made a full recovery, but did wreak some havoc at the Everett house. But on the bright side, she's been asleep since she got home!

Now Marley had the most trouble. She was left home with a wonderful pet sitter coming to visit twice a day and Auntie Nora came to check on her too. On Tuesday they discovered that Marley was having some trouble. There was puke and diarrhea all over the house. They called the vet and he said to try to give her some Pepto. On Wednesday it appeared that she was getting worse, so they took her to Dr. Jones. She spent the night with him and seemed to be doing better by Thursday and was brought back home. So she seems fine now. He thinks she had some kind of bug. Poor Marley! And poor Dave! He spent all day Sunday cleaning all the carpets in the house!

Both dogs are passed out right now from their misadventures while we were gone. Hopefully that was the end of it! Not sure what we'll do with them for our next trip! Trouble makers!
