Tonsils


We had an exciting day today. Jud got his tonsils and adenoids taken out. He did so well. We opted out of the pre-surgery cocktail and he was so brave. (it helped that Ms. Cheri was back there with him) The doctor said he was curious about all the tools and what they were doing. Sounds like they got a dose of my daily existence, "Mama why......?""Mama what does.....?" "Mama where....." and it goes on and on.
But it went really well, very little bleeding, big tonsils with adenoids to match. This should really help a lot of the strep issues and even his sinus/allergy problems.
Well he just got up from his nap so I am going to go be "Super Mama".
Thanks to all of you who said prayers, and sent good thoughts, and brought goodie bags.

CupCake

The month of July just flew by. We played hockey, finally got my car fixed and seemed to be always on the go. We have a new addition to our family as well. Jud and I made an impromptu visit to Petco one day and ended up with a Teddy Bear Hamster!!! In all honesty, I never imagined Marc would say yes when we called him. Jud got a female and decided to call her CupCake.
CupCake is still deciding whether she likes us or not. I think it is mostly not. I am still recovering from the hole she made in my finger on our first day, I should try not to hold that against her, but....
Jud likes to watch her in her ball and so far her favorite place is the big wheel on the top of her cage. Here are a few pics.


Our giant cage set up.


And this is where CupCake spends 92% of her time. She drags everything up here and sleeps there during the day.
CupCake has a cool spiked doo. I tried to brush it down but as soon as I finished she used her paws to shag it back up.
