Do'in some Cook'in, Heal'in and Use'in a Walker
I've been do'in some cook'in lately. I'm happy to say that my freezer is pretty stocked. I made this meal on Friday night. It was a new recipe that I saw on the Food Networks, Giada at Home.
Chicken Milanese with Tomato and Fennel Sauce
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/chicken-milanese-with-tomato-and-fennel-sauce-recipe/index.html
American - Italian
We had Green Bean Casserole as a side (also a new recipe). I wasn't sure about feeding Bryant the chicken dish so I made something I knew he would love.
I took this picture of Bryant before church this morning. He found something else to bang his head on. He was actually rocking back and forth hitting the back of his head on the wood island. I hope this is just an attention getting phase.
Dixie is do'in a lot better. We go to the vet tomorrow so I'm anxious to see what the Dr. has to say about her progress.
Bryant is using his walker to get around these days. It's really funny, so I got it on video to share.
Look at him go...

Dixie
Dixie had surgery on Wednesday to repair the ruptured ACL in her right knee. Wednesday evening was very rough. I guess we weren't fully prepared. It was like having a new born all over again.
This is a picture of Dixie right after Nick got her home from the vet...
She was so out of it...still filling the effects from all the medication.
Her leg is wrapped for protection...black, to blend in with her spots -- less noticeable, ya think?
An extra long splint for support and a fitted cover to protect it from the elements.
You cannot see it in this image, but she has a bald spot on her left shoulder blade where they placed a pain patch which was to stay on for three days.
She also has one of those plastic cones that she is supposed to wear around her neck to keep her from chewing at her bandages...I'm sure we will need it later, but haven't used it much since she's been home...we watch her very closely.
Dixie was in her crate most of the day on Thursday as I had errands to run...plus it kept her stationary.
Bryant loves his big sister and didn't quit understand why she was in her crate. He had never seen it before and was very curious...all he wanted to do was touch Dixie. You can see him touching her paw. That made him happy...
Dixie's surgery was on Wednesday and we had to take her back to the vet on Friday because she had not gone potty. This might be TMI, but the Dr. had to extract urine with a needle inserted directly into her bladder. The Dr. extracted 20-25 large syringes of urine which Nick said filled 3 dog bowls. Poor Dixie!!! They said because of her sedation she just couldn't make herself go.
She is doing much better now. I just took these pictures of her tonight...
This is the spot where the pain patch was
The iodine is starting to rub off. You might also notice a much shorter splint. They also did that on Friday...it makes it much easier for her to get around.
She is looking at me like....Mom, will you please STOP IT! This is so embarrassing!

1st birthday
Birthday Decoration
The special birthday hat I made
The Curious George book in the toy box was the party theme because Bryant loves playing with that book
The birthday banner I made
Granny decided the sock monkeys added a special touch since my grandmother made them years ago
Birthday Cakes
Whipping up the icing for the cakes
I need to improve my spreading technique...
A big thanks to Aunt Pea for stepping in and making it look smooth
Adding the special touches
All set for the party
Birthday Boy
Bryant was so excited to have everyone over to celebrate his big day...
Birthday breakfast - cheerios and banana
Getting some playtime in before his guests arrive
The little sneak decided he was ready for presents
Ok party people, I'm the man!
A special cake just for Bryant
Aunt Pea was here to celebrate...the day wouldn't have been the same without her
The happy parents
the aftermath
Fall Festival - HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Bryant's Party was from 11-1. Later in the day we went to the Fall Festival at my parents church, Rock Mountain Lakes Baptist, which was at 6:00.
Photo op on the fire truck
The cutest monkey you'll ever meet...
1st Birthday, success!
