GLOVES

Well after an incredibly exciting (scary) week, Nelson and I were able to end it with a birthday celebration for me with family, from near and far, in Lawrence this weekend. What was scary that happened? On Monday Nelson decided to grab one of my thin cotton gloves I wear at night and take off with it like he does sometimes. This time was different. This time when I ran over to him to grab it out of his mouth, I could literally see his thought process..."Mom keeps on taking this from my mouth, and that is not fun at all. If I swallow it she can't get it!! GULP" And so I watched him swallow my glove. I was terrified. The days that followed got me more worried as he seemed to get more sick and sick. Therefore, he was taken to the vet friday for xrays and although they didn't see anything, they were concerned so they gave him some pills and special food. He improved immensely, and is getting better day by day.

The weekend was fantastic, celebrating my birthday with Family and Friends. I couldn't ask for more.

This next week I have a few days off and cannot wait to clean the apt! Nelson will keep with our regular pattern of Daycare Tuesday/Thursdays which will be a little break for me :). Next Friday Nelson is getting neutered, and thanks to my wonderful parents who offered to pay the difference, he is getting neutered using the new laser surgery. Everyone keeps their fingers crossed all goes well on Oct. 17th.

With Love, Ellen & Nelson
