I wunt a real brudder!

We've had some unfortunate news about Jax and his health. He has a ruptured disk in his neck. It is classified as a disease and is sometimes found in small, flat nose, full-bred dogs. Jax has been on muscle relaxers and on a no-exercise restriction. We've also put him on a diet. He's been doing really well.

Our vet sent me pictures of some rescue dogs (a female pug & a male brussels griffon) that hooked up before getting fixed and they had puppies. All the puppies are taken, however, Bruce and I really liked the Brussels Griffon. They are little "monkey faced" dogs. Jax would love to have a brother.

The Holidays, the cold, 2009

Okay, so the holidays are over and it's time to make resolutions for 2009. My resolutions are simple. I want to stay healthy. I think of all the problems that I've had and think what I could have done to prevent it.

Some of my other goals are to continue my education (ok, it's 1 class till graduation), get a new pug puppy, more exercise & eat healthier, visit & spend more time with my family & friends.

Jax & Bruce had a great time bonding during the holiday break. The weather was really cold (-5) that Jax has been having a hard time going outside. Jax was a permanent fixture in front of the fireplace. He's the smart one!

Happy New Year to everyone!
