Fudge went to see Dr. Hackel yesterday to see how her cancer is doing. They took X-rays of her chest which came back negative (a good thing). She also received her first in a series of 8 chemotherpy treatment.
Jodi and I were concerned about going this route with her for a couple of reasons. One our first look into this process had a price tag of over 3 thousand dollars, second was the pain that Fudge would have to indure. Well our doctor was able to perform the chemo (instead of a special vet) for around 125 dollars a treatment (8 x 125). Also with this type of treatment Fudge shouldn’t feel to much side effects, and most importantly won’t loose her hair. Although that might be kind of funny to see Fudge without any hair. As of this morning Fudge seems to be in good spirits and isn’t showing any negative signs from her treatment last night.
Please keep our little Fudgee girl in your prayers. I’m sure she will repay all of you with a ton of licks.

HEALTH*****
Well Braylen kept Jodi and I up most of Friday night, and Saturday morning. So Jodi took the little guy to urgent care on Sunday and found that he had a double ear infection and a upper resp. infection. As of this morning Braylen is in good spirits and slept very good last night.
Dora*****
Braylen learned this weekend how to chant for Dora. He walks around the living room chanting DORA DORA DORA DORA. It is very cute.
Helping Out*****
We have started to try to engage Braylen in doing little things around the house such as I would hand him something and say give this to momma, and he has. We also have him from time to time pick up the dogs food bowls from the floor and either put them on the counter or in the sink. Lastly what he has learned this week is when we change a wet diaper (and only a wet diaper) we ask him if he can put it in the garbage for us. He walks over so proudly to the can, lifts up the lid and slams it home.
Going to the Movies, and Grocery Shopping************
Jodi learned this weekend how to combine the two events. Jodi went grocery shopping (so I could finish my homework) and thought that she should bring along the portable DVD player we got from our company X-mas party. Well Jodi said that Braylen was an absolute angel as he watched Dora all thoughout the store.
