On the brighter side ....!

Hi Everyone! Hoping that the new year is treating you well so far! Me? Not so much. A few days ago, I had decided to take a nap, got all comfy in bed w/a good book, when I felt something - yup ... blood! It was coming from the "outer rim" of my ear. Mark had to put some surgicel on there to stop the bleeding. That was New Years Day. Well, this afternoon I took a shower and was already drying off, when I noticed I was bleeding. Ugh! Instead of all the boring and gory details .... we now break off to a brighter subject!

The newest member of our family finally has a name! Come and meet Hanz! He is a Brussels Griffon, is several months old and a real sweetie! Although, rumor has it that when these puppies hit their "terrible two's", we'll have our work cut out for us! I wasn't too sure about him the first couple of days, but once Mark bathed him and he got a hair cut ... we've become inseparable! Originally, our plan was to wait until I was all done w/my procedures before getting a puppy, but we came across an opportunity we couldn't pass up and got the puppy early! Unfortunatly I'll be missing him the few days we'll be in CO, but our neighbors Keith and Gabby will be taking care of Hanz! He gets along w/their lab, Skip ... although not so much w/their cat Abby! Our cats aren't sure what to think of Hanz, I don't think they're too happy about him getting to be indoors all the time! I took Hanz outside for a bit today and he was so happy when a neighbor a few houses down was outside w/her Shitzue!

Anyway, since I have to work tomorrow, I'm off to get a few things ready and head to bed w/a good book! Here are a few photos of our little Hanz! Course that's Mark holding Hanz - taken in Moms back yard. Mom is holding Hanz on Christmas Eve @ her house, and the other one is Hanz taking a nap!

I'll blog when I get back from CO! Take care y'all!
