Happy Birthday Nipper And Happy Fall Y'all

Nipper's 11th Birthday

Well, I finally decided to come back an revisit my lonely blog. I would like to thank whoever got me hooked on FaceBook for the fact that my blog is getting ignored. FaceBook is addictive and if anyone asks you to join....shut your computer down and run away as quickly as you can.....Just kidding! I've been busy and not taken any time to write and I'm way behind on my updates. This blog is about Fall and Nipper's birthday. There are many more things to come soon .....I hope.

Have you been enjoying the fall this year? I have just been mesmerized by the foliage. It has been so beautiful that I have taken to keeping my camera in the car so I can take some pictures along the way. Everywhere I go I am just taken in by the beautiful colors. It makes me realize what a masterful artist our Heavenly Father is.

Here are a few photos of the fall colors in my neighborhood.

Isn't that pretty?

These maples are beautiful every year

Nipper in my birthday present...a new swing

Yesterday was Nipper's 11th birthday and I just want to say what all of you already know...I love my little guy with all my heart and I'm very thankful for him!!! He has had a rough year this past year and I am thankful that God allowed him to get better and allowed me keep him a while longer. I appreciate every single day!

Below are some pictures of Nipper with his new bone and toy. He was very excited. You can say to Nipper...I have a "present" for you and he gets so excited and starts jumping up and down. He knows exactly what that word means. (Could be cause he gets lots of presents....).

Can I bite this?

Tasty!

Tennis ball barbell....a good workout!

Chewing away...

Look for a blog on my birthday beach trip in the near future.

NIPPER UPDATE #2

Isn't he precious?

Want to play rope?

All smiles


Several of you have asked me lately how Nipper is doing so I thought I'd give you a brief update.


I took Nipper to the vet last Friday for a re-check on his head and to have his liver enzymes tested. Nipper has had a liver problem for several years and I have to have his enzymes tested every few months. He got a really great report. Dr. Moore said the place on his head looks fine. It is still pink and there is still a small knot there but it doesn't seem to be causing him any problems. He has also not had any problems with limping since we treated him with the ointment. So he is pretty much convinced that the problem was an infected gland. At this point we are just going to leave it alone unless he starts to have problems with it again. Nipper seems to be feeling fine now and is back to his silly puppy dog self. Most of his hair had grown back in on his face where they shaved it...so he is about back to my little handsome guy again.


Thank you all for asking about him and for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers while he was sick. It means the world to me that you care enough about me to worry about him. :o)


I love you guys,


Tammy


P.S. Nipper got a great report on him liver enzymes...2 of the 3 that they always check where in the normal range. That has not happened in several years.


Now that he is better I'll show you some of the pictures. Can you see why I was worried?


Doesn't that look awful?

My poor little guy!!

He still wanted to play....

Getting better.....

And better.....

Much better now.....

Feeling fine and ready to play

Handsome as ever!!!
