What a week! Last Thursday I woke up and took the dogs out to go to the bathroom, like usual. I looked down at Hephaestus and his left eye was completely swollen shut! (didn't we already have this post about Hermes) He was also covered in what looked like hundreds of little bits all over him. He was itching so bad he was crying about it. SO SAD! My mom, Mai, and I took him straight in to the vet and they had to keep him for the day. He had to get a couple shots of Benadryl and steroids. He's all better now (and I am so happy we have "puppy insurance" because all this was free) but I guess he had an allergic reaction to a bug bite the night before and swelled up like crazy. These aren't the best pics but its hard to get a 3months old puppy to hold still, especially one who is itching like crazy. And you can't really see the welts all over him, but you can kinda get the idea of what he looked like by looking at his eye.

I've also been working on Mai's room quite a bit the last few weeks. I repainted her bed from pink to white(using the paint samples you can get at Home Depot, so it only cost $5!), re-painted you room (that only cost $10), and made this cute little canopy for her bed out of a lamp shade (this only cost .50 for the lamp shade from a yard sale. I already had everything else for it). I'm still working on some other stuff for her room but here it is so far.

And we have also been "babysitting" my brother-in-law's and sister-in-laws dog. Poor Ollie was a little over whelmed when he got here last week but has totally warmed up to the dogs. He keeps hiding under the kitchen stools and Hephaestus cries and cries because he thinks he can't get Ollie when he's under there (he seems to forget that he can fit under there too). Melissa came over today with the kids and Lacey keep saying "where's Wal-E". SO cute!

And a side note, I just reupholstered those kitchen stools and re-stained them.
