We finally got the chance to head over to the house to take some pictures. so here they are!! We are SOOOOO excited to get in there. Just a few more weeks :)
Awesome? yep, pretty much. And I love love love the color! we've got a few ideas for the backyard which I am anxious to get started on. All of this is all so exciting! Hooray house!
The house sits at the end of a small court in a cute little neighborhood. It was built in 2001, which is waaaay newer than some of the others we have been looking at. It's 3br/2ba with a huge master bedroom with a walk in closet and double sink bathroom. Indoor laundry and a cute little kitchen nook are just a few of the many perks attached to this house. In just a few short weeks, we'll FINALLY be moving in!! :) :)

Our little Doberman baby Dakota (Kody) is growing up so fast!! It's probably one of my favorite things in the world to watch animals grow. She is gaining close to a pound a day now, it's incredible!
Here's little Kody now at 4 weeks old
and playing with brother Tyke
And a video of the goobers playing, too cute :)
Funny thing is...Dakota will be bigger than Tyke in just a few short weeks...and will keep growing till she's about 10 times his size, so we laugh seeing them wrestle like this.

Well, we finally decided to go ahead with the surgery for Bullet's leg! It was the first time this surgery has ever been performed in our hospital!! Guess what Bulldog has just IS that rare. He was born with a defect with the growth plate on his right arm. It is is stunting the growth of the ulna, while the radius bone is growing, causing his leg to bow.
This is a dorky picture of him, but you can see the right leg curved quite a bit. So you can see the short ulna bone on the inside, long radius curved on the outside.
Here is B-dog just after the surgery on Friday, leg all wrapped up already.
The surgery was really neat to watch. They actually had to cut the ulna bone, separate it to leave a small gap (for the bone to grow a bit, then reattach itself), and hold it in place with a pin. Now, per Doctors orders, Bullet has to keep his leg rested so it can heal for at least a few weeks.
Sad B-dog watching Tyke play without him at the park :(
But, it's okay, he doesn't need to run. Daddy helps Bulldog chase the ducks anyway, haha.
So, now it's just a waiting game for us. Since it's a pretty risky surgery, we won't know if it actually worked for a few weeks. But he does seem to be doing fine with the bum leg. Definitely milking up the special treatment he is getting.
