Easter 2008

This year Sarah had a big influence on
how we celebrated Easter. Although,
normally we do the traditional Easter
bunny stuff on Saturday, we decided
to wait for Sean and Sarah to come down.
Sarah has many fond memories of Easter
growing up. What she said was so family
oriented in bringing family together that
we decided to build on those memories.
Sean and Sarah came down for church
services, we had a turkey dinner and watched
a movie on the life of the Savior. Afterwards, Sean
and I hid eggs. Then with lots of pushing and
dashing, Seth, Bria, Sarah, and, yes, Lupe
hunted for eggs in our front yard.

It was a great day!

Our newest family member: Coda

We adopted Coda when her owners could not take care of her like they should. They have a special needs child and it wasn't a good companion. Although, she was free we have had in to see the veterinarian for some sores. So instead of being free, she has cost me approximately $200. she's wearing an old sweatshirt of Seth's to keep from licking the wounds on her leg. They wanted her to wear one of those lampshades and I said no. It's torture for a dog. They can't eat or drink and they always run into things. No thanks!

She is very playful and likes to play with our other female, Chloe. They are within a year of each other. Chester, still going strong after chemotherapy, has let her know that it is nice to have her but he doesn't want to play. He has made his point by pinning her down (not hurting her).

Walking three Boxer dogs and Joy's dachshund all at once is sometimes a challenge; especially, for Lupe. Coda is getting used to being walked. We think she was kept in a kennel for most of the day.
