A new friend for Diesel

Yesterday Chase's dad got a puppy. He is a beautiful fawn boxer with the cutest little personality. We took Diesel over to play with him and needless to say Diesel got a little too rough with him but the puppy wouldn't back down. He kept coming after Diesel because Diesel kept pouncing on him and running him over. It was so cute to watch!! Hopefully they can be little best friends.

What can I say?

Since Chase has been in California working Diesel has been nothing short of a monster. He has spent a lot of time in the kitchen that we have gated off. This morning as I was cleaning up the living room and getting ready to leave for work he decided that he wanted to see what I was doing and put his paws up on the counter!!! I can't even believe that he is already big enough to easily put his feet up there!!


He just looks so darn cute that I have a hard time not giving into him. How could you resist this face?

Will and Grandma

Last night me and my grandma and my aunt and cousins went to go see my great grandmother who is now in a nursing home. After we were done there we all went over to Brandts house to visit his little boy, my nephew, Will. He is so stinken' cute!!! We wanted to get some good pictures of him with his Great Grandma Garrison. He was so happy and was staring and cooing. We all got to hold him and pass him around and he only fussed a little. What a good little boy!! :)



Staring at the light from the lamp

He was trying to talk to me :)


With his Great Grandma Garrison

His favorite way to be held!

Diesel and Lel

We went up and visited my family on Friday since they had just gotten home from Oregon the night before. We went to Carson's football game and then went and ate pizza at my parents house after. During the game Lel wanted to hold Diesel so he went willingly into her arms and was really good to just sit there for a while. I got a few good pictures until all of the sudden he decided that he wanted down. I know that I shouldn't have laughed but I couldn't help it. I can't believe that I got such a perfect picture of the real true Diesel.

Diesels Dad

I got in touch with the guy who owns Diesels dad, not the same lady we got Diesel from, and I asked him to send me a few pictures of him since we never got the chance to see him when we bought Diesel. His name is Brutus and they live in Logan, UT.

His first "photo shoot"

A few weeks ago chase took Diesel out in the yard and got some really cute pictures of him. He looks so grown up it kills me!! He was so good to just sit there and strike a few good poses. :)

Cabin Trip

A few weeks ago we went to Chases parents cabin and had a blast. His sister-in-law, Kristen, had girls camp right by it so Sean, her husband, took there baby up so they would be close together. Chases dad took a few cute pictures of Diesel while we were there. Check them out!

Very Sad

Diesel had an appointment to get neutered this past Monday so we dropped him off first thing in the morning so the vet could keep him all day. About 11am I got a call from the vet saying that before they did the surgery he wanted to go over a few things with me. I knew something was wrong right away just by the tone in his voice. Diesel was diagnosed with a grade 3 heart murmur. The vet said that when he listened to his heart 6 weeks before he didn't hear this murmur which concernes him greatly. He asked me a buch of questions like has he been coughing, been overly tired, has he fainted, etc... He hasn't had any symptoms as of yet and he acts like he is a health happy 14 week old puppy. We aren't sure yet what type of a murmur it is, the vet wants to watch it over the next few weeks with regular vet visits every two weeks. We are hoping that he will just grow out of it but the vet isn't very hopeful. For how fast it has come on and how far advanced it already is he doesn't know what Diesels future is going to be. We are going to take him to a heart specialist in a few weeks and have an echocardiogram done so we can pinpoint exactly what type he has. Until then there is really nothing that we can do but hope and pray that he will just grow out of it. I will keep you all posted as we find more out about his condition.
