I didn't have any photos on this computer yet so I wanted to get some imported, but when I was going through them I came across these two pictures and I started laughing!  We took the bottom one back in February and the top one was only taken four months later!  Pixie and Rocky have both grown so much, but to Colton and I they don't seem like they've gotten any bigger.  Poor Rocky had to go get his 1 year shots this morning (can you believe that mammoth is only one year?!) well actually mommy is a little behind, he is actually almost a year and a half, the vet actually said he is overweight!  He said that he should weigh approximately 100 pounds, and he is at 129!  Poor baby is gonna have to go on a diet.  Pixie is a year and a half too, but our vet in Giddings doesn't have her shot records because she's never seen them before.  We used to take them to LaGrange and I absolutely LOVED that vet, but we took Rocky there when he was younger to get his ears cropped and ever since then he won't even get out of the car when we pull up, so we had to find another vet.  Colton and I were talking one time if we would ever get ears cropped on another dog...although Rocky's turned out 100% perfect, that is actually very rare, we have known people who have spent the money and the time and did everything they were supposed to do, and they don't even stand up.  So we got really lucky with his, but honestly I don't think I could do it again.  First of all I wanted to cry the day that I picked him up (he had to stay overnight), he looked so miserable and pathetic with those bandages on his ears :(  And I know he was in horrible pain, we had to rub the scabs on his ears at least 2x a day with neosporin...awful.  He would whine everytime we had to do it, it broke my heart!  They are both really sweet dogs (these are actually my first dogs) and I think we are extrememly lucky to have both of them, but do I ever want another dog, or two for that matter, in the house?  Hell no.  I know I don't work full time but it is ridiculous having to keep up after two dogs and a husband, and then myself!  I love their company and I would be devestated if anything ever happened to either one of them but as of right now I can honestly say that I will never have another dog in the house...right now :)
