Colorado Wedding Trip

I made a quick trip out to Colorado Springs for my cousin Sarah Richey's wedding. Charlie had planned on making the trip with me but had to stay behind because of work.

So my mom rented a car from enterprise so my brother could drive down from Denver. This is the car they gave him. It is a black mercury grand marquee complete with the fire chief tags and stickers. It was hilarious! I got to drive it back from the wedding-I felt empowered driving a mobile like it! So here is Jarad with his car-complete with the opened bottle of wine on the ground next to him!

Jiffy and Skippy

The girls always get to clean out the last of the PB jars (only what we cannot get out). Moxy has twice gotten jars stuck on her nose. She gets her snout so far in the jar it forms a suction and she cannot get it off. When I pull the jar off, it is warm from her not being able to breath-so from now on I will be poking holes in the bottom of her container so she does not suffocate herself.

Moxy's Surgery

Moxy is fully recovered now from her surgery. She had to have a cyst removed off her back and she had her teeth cleaned while she was under. She looked pretty pathetic when Charlie brought her home, with her two front legs shaved and her stitches on her back. Today, her hair almost looks back to normal and her scar healed great.


Relaxing...
Clean teeth!
