A Prayer for Our Puppy...

Our baby boy is a little hurt right now :( For those of you who don't know our big boy King, he was actually my St. Patty's Day present from Ricky almost 6 years ago! We ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS DOG, at first glance most people are usually terrified of him, but once you get to know him, he is just a big love bug!!!This past week he was limping pretty bad, it had gotten to the point that he was not using his back left leg at all, and would not even get up to eat... a pretty big scare (his dad passed pretty young of leg complications, so we were kind of worried)... Turns out he has a torn ACL, the vet said we could either do surgery (which may not even correct it completely) or just let it heal, but the he will most likely injure it again :( He is on pain meds right now and we are letting him rest to let it heal and see how he does from here...Karly LOVES King... she loves most dogs anyways... but I think she has a soft spot for this big guy. Her eyes light up when she sees him! And he is just soooo awesome with her too! (Most people buy into the stereo-type of pitbulls that they are vicous animals, but we truly believe trained right... they are the PERFECT family dog!) And King has proved to be! Karly has been making sure to keep him company while he heals...Playing with him...He likes to roll over so she can rub his belly (or what he thinks is rubbing... she is actually just crawling ALL OVER HIM!) Our prayer is that our boy heals quickly and does not injure himself again:)Other than taking care of King we all have been just hanging out... me, Kar, Kt and Amy went to lunch together...Kar... checking out everyones plates! Sisters! Me and my baby girl! Auntie Amy and KarlyWith the weather changing to an enjoyable fall like scene here in California...We have had some BEAUTIFUL sunsets! MMMMM... LOVE IT! Even our turtles have been trying to enjoy the weather!
We have had story time with Grandma...And Kar got to spend a few hours with Dad while we went to go see the Michael Jackson movie... WE ARE HUGE MICHAEL JACKSON FANS!Mom and KateMe and AmyWe also went to Paulinas football game where they recognized the senior Football players and Cheerleaders... still can't believe she is a senior! She had the biggest family to walk with her :) Congrats Paulina... WE LOVE YOU! Karly was pretty wiped out after the game! And a little update on our little one......she is loving this walking thing!...She is just as happy as can be.......and we just can't get enough of her..our Karly girl! First Family shot we have gotten :)

I am so sad to hear that about King. He will be in my prayers. Our chocolate lab tore both of his ACL's (not at the same time) and we had both fixed with surgery (kind of pricey) and that was 4 years ago. He is doing great but hopefully King will be able to heal on his own.

Karly is one of the cutest babies I have ever seen, love her. And great family pic...we are bad about that as well.

Love you
