Good morning friends,
I am stuck at home with my furry cousin Lu the schnauzer while the rest of the family is out and about doing fun things. My mom's sister and family arrived from Canada for a short visit to meet my baby sister and they promised to include a couple of dog friendly activities in their busy - a.k.a. fun - schedule. Mom said that it is still too hot for me outside so I better not complain much.
Have a nice week everyone!

Good morning friends,
I want to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Prayers worked - you are the best!
We had a rough time this past couple of days with daddy not eating, high fevers and so much pain he could barely move. He already did all the tests necessary to start the new medicine - pssst Tweedles! The one you mentioned in your comment!
We are waiting for his doctor to come back to town and hopefully daddy will follow his instructions this time. Daddy is stubborn; he knows his illness doesn't have a cure, he doesn't like to take medicines because of the side effects, he doesn't want to go to the hospital when he should. All this drives us crazy!
Mommy and I were very happy to see daddy get out of bed yesterday and cuddle with little sister. He even apologized with me for ignoring me the day before. I knew he was sick, I could sniff it!

Hello friends
We are way behind reading blogs but we really hope all of you are doing well. I not only have little time now, helping with my baby sister's care, but I am also sad and worried because of daddy's health. He's been dealing with Crohn's disease for more than 20 years medication-free by personal choice, and he did very well. This year's checkup test came up really bad so he started medications and after months under treatment things are getting much worst. He has painful episodes often, inflammation is spreading to other vital organs, has lost a lot of weight, and the next medication to be used is very strong, will weaken his immune system dramatically and has bad - even deadly - possible side effects. Daddy refused to take this new medicine but he is changing his mind because he feels too sick. Now, this all comes to our life soon after my parents had started a new life together and decided to have a baby. They have been saving big time to buy a home sometime soon. They don't know what to do now; what the future will bring them. Daddy keeps saying what if this, what if that.
So all I am asking here is for a little prayer for his health, and for him to take the best decision regarding his care. Thank you with all my heart.

I like to eat all sorts of fruits and vegetables. Sleepy Strawberry? Thank you very much, but no. I'll pass that one.

To get fed. At home we believe that we are all equal. It doesn't matter that I am a big boy: what baby gets, pug gets.  So as soon as my little sister finishes feeding I get my share of green beans. Weird thing, that green beans fit in the bottle, right?

According to my role of big brother, I have to be close to my sister while she is sleeping. I have a few pictures to proof what a great job I am doing, but when I showed them to my mother, she asked:
"Coco, what are those stains in the carpet?"
"You are missing the big picture. I am guarding my sister, you see. I need more treats: I am exhausted and weak"
"Are you pooping near your sister?!"
"Mother! The black stains near the crib are markers!"
"And the brown one near the bed?"
"Oh, I couldn't find toilet paper in the backyard. Sorry."
