August 25, Introducing Sir Axelrod

About a year ago, we made a deal with our Little Lindsey Lou. When she was in the hospital we told her we would get a puppy when we got home. We have now come clean with it.  We had even named the dog when we were in California long before the puppy was born.  There was a doctor we got to know 7 years ago when Sierra was there, and again this time around.  He was there the night Lindsey was put on the Berlin and when Gage was admitted. He went out of his way to help Lindsey and the rest of our family.  We joked with him that we would name this puppy after him.  Well, meet Axelrod, a lab puppy named after the CVICU Dr. David Axelrod. 

We got the black lab puppy from a good family in North Powder, and is smothered with love around the clock. The kids absolutely love him!

We still don't know when California wants us to come back for checkups. Hopefully this week they will let us know.

Other than that, kids have had teeth pulled by my brother, Gage learned how to ride a bike, and Stacy and I went to a bed and breakfast near the Tri-Cities (awesome). All good stuff.

Welcome little Axelrod
