A Chloe Update

Well... it's been 5.5 weeks now since Chloe had her surgery. That means 5.5 weeks of keeping she and Bubba separated, 5.5 weeks of keeping her downstairs with the baby gates up and 5.5 weeks of keeping her as mellow as possible. (That's hard work if you know how labs are!) Anyway, Chloe is doing quite well, and the healing is going slowly but surely. I'm sure that in a few weeks, we'll be able to reintroduce she and Bubba. Yet, with Chloe's shaved hind end, we'll probably have to keep them inside since it's going to be too cold for her bare behind! If she doesn't stop licking at one of her wounds, she'll be seeing one of those giant lampshades in the near future!

Red Barn Farms

Sunday was a beautiful fall day here on the Palouse. A local farm was having an "Octoberfest" celebration. I packed up the kids and headed out to Colton, WA. We had a fabulous time, picking pumpkins, getting faces painted and jumping in the air castle! It was a perfect outing. Hayden and Kennedy enjoyed the castle the most while I tried to get them to pose for a few pictures here and there. Luckily, they posed for a few shots among the pumpkins and against this beautiful little barn. Fall here on the Palouse is gorgeous. It is definitely a time where the kids know that Halloween is right around the corner!
