We're Back!! And another one bites the Dust!

How many does this make?  Yes, Four!!
 
We realized today that we had not posted on our blog for over 1 1/2 years.  Things had settled down so much after Sugar went away. Oliver stopped eating the house and he and Leslie enjoyed playing with their toys, being fed and sleeping in the sun.  Oliver caused a ruckus about 6 months ago when he got very sick, lost a ton weight and we took him to the vet.  Turns out he had partially chewed up and swallowed most of one of Joe's work gloves.  Which, it turns out, is not digestible--so it got lodged between his stomach and intestines, until very expensive emergency surgery saved the dog and left us a really gross reminder that he still cannot help but eat inappropriate items when we are not paying very close attention.

Like Today!  Josh was home asleep when the girls and I left for Bowie Choir registration rally.  We left the dogs in the house, happy to sleep and wait for us--Or so we thought!  When Josh woke up and came out, he found that we had Another Remote Control Bite the Dust.  When we attempted to see if all the pieces were there--epic fail--he must have some electronics/plastic floating around in that silly gullet of his.  Sigh!  So I am back on poop-patrol to make sure he passes this effectively!  You would like changing Jessica's diaper 5-7 times per day, checking for poop would be all I would have to do these days.  But no, gotta go thru doggie doo now to make sure we don't have to go donate more towards the vet!  But when you see him so cute, having thrown all 85 lbs into Joe's lap--you gotta just love the knucklehead!!

Help, this dog weighs a ton!
