Time to Catch Up

I will do my best to cover a lot with not too many words! I enjoy pictures more, so I am sure you do too!

First, July 16, 2011 - my cousin Sean marries Liz in New York. It was such a wonderful wedding for such a wonderful couple!







Next up, my cousin Meaghan comes to Cali to visit. Talk about an action packed trip. We took her into LA - did the Rodeo Drive, Hollywood mini tour....


San Diego Beaches (of course dog beach too!) and met up with some of our great friends Tim & Lara...






A little Long Beach....




Had such a good time! Wish they all lived closer so we could have more days like that!!

I just flew back from Salt Lake City, UT. I was out there for work. Was a great educational trip - love being surrounded by experience and really get out there to tell the world what our company is all about.

New with Boston -
I went to the vet today and we are starting to explore something other than seizures. Somethings was a bit off on his blood panel - no the basic, but the more detailed white counts. Not going to lie, I heard white blood cells and my heart stopped, not sure if the vet was wondering why I was smiling. All I could think of was don't say the "C" word and when I didn't, I just kept smiling. He is going in for a ACTH test on Friday to test his cortisol levels. We are testing for atypical Addison's disease which occurs when the adrenal glands fail to produce enough hormones to keep the body functioning normally. If the test is positive, we will be taking him off Pheno and moving him to low doses of Prednisone. The test should help point us in the right direction. Bottom line, I want to treat the right disease and help get Boston to a happy & normal life.

I did find this website, so if you are interested in learning more: http://www.addisonsindogs.com/

This is an adorable picture Brent sent to me, post a bike ride with Boston, while I was out in Utah. Happy Monday!
