Dog Drama

We got a new dog. Her name is Maggie and she is Wesley's best friend. She is a black and tan coon hound and soooo sweat. One day she had an enormous growth on her cheek/neck we decided to wait it out and see what happened. So we waited it out through the weekend. That monday we took he to Doc. Lot in morgan. He is our horse vet. The boys came with me and he took one look at her and said she had an abscess. He poked her in the cheek and blook streamed out. Oh did I mention Wes was there watching. Not much bothers him so he wanted to watch. He was doing great. Then Doc pulled out the needle and grabbed some tweezer scissor things and opened up the poke. He then holding the poke open began to sqeeze out the infection. At this point Wes had not passed out but had literally fallen to the floor and was white as a ghost. He kept saying my tummy hurts real bad mom. So I had him go sit on the bench in the waiting room. Where he started to panic a little saying "mom maggie is dead!!" over and over. I calmly reminded him that she is not dead and that she will get better now that the doc got out the infection in her cheek. I had to run out and get my wallet in the car. When I came back in Wes did not look good at all! He said" I am sick mom and I need to go to the bathroom" We RAN to the bathroom where he had all his panic coming out both ends:( He was throwing up everywhere and had horrible diarrhea. I felt just awful. I had the Dr put maggie in the car on the floor in the front while we were in the bathroom for 20 minutes or more. We came out to the car and I told Wes to close his eyes and the Maggie was in the front asleep. He got in and was soooo upset still. He said over and over "Mom I don't want Maggie anymore, lets just give her a way." I said lets just see how she is in the morning and then you can decide. Then about half way home Maggie popped her head up and looked right at Wes. Which in turn he exclaimed
"MOM LOOK ITS MAGGIE, SHE IS ALIVE!!"
He was so excited he could hardly stand it. I had to ask " do you still want to give her away" He was very certain when he said "No can we please keep her?" :)

Getting his Toes wet!!

Since Wes was a baby he has not like to get his head wet at all. But he also has no fear what so ever. I don't know that he realized he would not just be getting his feet wet when he jumped off the board!!:) He did great and he is even starting swim lesson next week. He is growing up so fast.

Andy's going to College!

Wes loves movies, it took him along time to where he would actually sit through a whole movie but now he loves them. He love the disney cartoons, even the princess ones. Not for the princess' but for example he wants to watch Guss Guss not cinderelli. He also love Toy Story and Cars. Well, while I was gone to Vegas. He was watching Toy Story 3, one he has watch a couple times before. He was watching it in my room and Brandon went outside for a minute. And came back in to a screaming little boy. They called me and I could hear him crying uncontrollably in the back ground. The kind where he gasps for a breath. So I thought he had been hurt or something tragic, I honestly thought he may have broken something. So Brandon says to me you have to talk to him and see if you can calm him down, but would not tell me what was wrong. So I got Wes on the phone and asked him if he was ok, what was wrong and what happened. I could not understand him and what he was saying he was crying sooooo hard. Finally I said take a deep breath and tell me what is wrong. He tried and all he say was "Andy went to college mom" and then the tears started to flow again. It was all I could do to control my laughter. What a tender little boy. He later was able to tell me that Andy was going to college and he was leaving his toy behind. He could not believe Andy would leave his toys. I love that he has such a sweet tender heart. I love this little boy!

What Happens in Vegas!

Not really appropriate for a child of 3 yrs old. But I have another funny story. I went to Las Vegas for a Cosmetology convention and was gone for a few days. Wes was actually missing his mom! I was playing with his stuffed animals and lining them up on the couch. I was talking to him on the phone. I was asking him what he was doing. He was getting his bears ready to go in the car. I asked him where his bears were going. He said they are going to Vegas mom. So they can come see you. :) He is so thought full. That seemed like a long time away from my family but especially Wes who is just so much fun to be around. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right?!?
