Allergies and Bees

I was having a relaxing Friday off. About noon I left to get my hair cut and colored and run some errands. I left Lulu and Makita outside for a little bit before I left and then locked them in the house. When I returned 4 hours later, this is what Lulu looked like:
These pictures were taken after I returned home from the vet. At the vet they gave her a shot and some drops and the swelling has actually decreased a little. They believe that Lulu is having some kind of allergies or an allergic reaction to a bee sting. Oh poor puppy. She looks like our "special" dog right now.

April 2009

It has been a very busy and exciting month for us already. Scott had a very fun "boys" trip for Jeep Safari in Moab, we had a very relaxing time at Millcreek Canyon and my birthday is on the 26th!!!!!

First I will start off with Scott's Moab trip. The Monday before he left I ended up getting the flu. Ugh. He was such an amazing husband that entire week. He took me to the doctor's on Monday night and got all my medicines and made me chicken noodle soup. He took the day off on Tuesday to take care of me! He was so sweet and babied me all day! I went to work on Wednesday, but felt horrible by the time I got home. He again babied me all Wednesday night and made sure that I would get a great night's sleep. Unfortunately on Thursday he left for Moab :(. However, before he left, he wanted to make sure that I would be okay. When he came home from work, he surprised me with this:

Scott said this was my "Get Better", "Happy Easter", and "I'll Miss You" Surprise! He is amazing don't you think?!?!Scott has been so excited to give me my birthday presents and couldn't wait. So, on Friday night I got my first birthday present.........a gift card to a tanning salon! I am so excited! Now I can get a little color before I live on my European trip!!!! Thanks Babe! The funniest part was the wrapping job. Scott took the container my cell phone charger came in and put the gift card (wrapped in a paper towel) inside the container. He then needed some tape, but couldn't find any fast enough, so he used a band-aid. Haha He is so clever!

We had some great weather today and decided that it would be so much fun to take the dogs up to Millcreek Canyon. We took some lunch up with us and just had a relaxing afternoon. These dogs had the best day of their lives!!!!

Scott and I got a picture in this same spot when we first started dating back in 2007. A year and a half later and here we are again, with one more addition.....Makita. My cute family:
Our beautiful Makita:Our cute little Lulu after a swim in the creek: Since Makita is our known escape artist, we can't take him off of his leash. So, we decided to tie him up to the leg of the picnic table we were eating at. As we were eating we heard a little tapping noise on the table. We looked up and to our left and saw that Makita had helped himself onto the table. haha He is such a crazy dog!!!
Notices that I am eating and decides to join me:
Lulu doesn't want to be left out:
This happened a couple months ago, but I just wanted to post these pictures for all to see. This is what I came home to one day. Usually I do not let the dogs on the bed, but I needed to get some pictures before I woke them up and kicked them off the bed. I have such a cute family!
