Jumping and Laughing





Well I am now back to work. It has been an adjustment but overall pretty smooth. I am so fortunate to have my Mom watching Oliver during the week and Katie helping watch when she can. I miss him dearly during the day but knowing that he is in good hands makes it a little easier. Oliver is growing in leaps and bounds these days. He can sit up, eat green beans and peas, laugh, touch is toes REALLY well, and sleeps through the night consistently now.
It's like a present every night he sleeps through the night and I was sure glad he was sleeping soundly last night since Gunner got sprayed in the face by a skunk! I went to let him in from going to the bathroom and WHAM the smell was amazingly horrid. I immediately shooed him out the door and ran to tell Erik. Then I Googled how to get rid of the skunk odor. Well we didn't have tomato juice or peroxide but we did have dishwasher detergent! At 9:45 pm Erik and I changed into some old clothes got out the garden hose, put the trucks headlight on the brights, and scrubbed away. Once we got him pretty clean I brought him in the house and gave him a bath with doggy shampoo to get rid to the detergent. He didn't have any odor on his fur but INSIDE his nostrils and mouth it still stunk. Amazing huh?
Enjoy the videos!
