Update on Khloe: she is almost 9 months old! She has become an expert squirrel chaser, and has learned some new tricks. She can 'roll over', 'high five', and Jimmy taught her to not touch a treat until he gives the OK.

She is rockin' a new hair cut also, thanks to my daughter getting chewing gum in her fur. It doesn't look bad, but her coat was getting so pretty. On the plus side, it has made grooming easier.

I was apprehensive about giving her the rabies shot at 4 months here, so her vet is going to kill me when I go back in the next month for it. I was told that it was more or less for my protection, as it is a liability if she were to bite someone. No bites, and she is still sooo little, so I figured it would cause more harm than good.

In three months, it will be time for vaccinations, a spay procedure, and she'll probably have to remove some canine teeth as well (all procedures spaced apart).

Just wanted to say hello to you guys. I miss you all and I will hopefully get better and have more time to check in. School, work, kids, and family illnesses has kept me so busy. My father-in-law is in the hospital; he had a heart attack, so if you have room in your prayers, please pray for him. His catherization test is scheduled for Monday, so I will give you guys updates on how bad the clot damaged his heart. Have a lovely day! xo
