Avery Update

Hey there everydog. I haven't posted in about a million years, so I'm sure you all thought I dropped off the face of the Earth. I'm still here, and I'm doing great. Mom feels bad about not helping me blog, but she's been super busy and didn't have the energy to type for me. I have so much news to share!

Where should I start?

Lewis and Clark the kittens stayed with us for a few weeks while Mom looked for a good home for them. Luckily, Mom's very good friend and her husband decided to adopt them. Mom and Dad were so relieved, because they'd really fallen in love with the little guys and were sad about the idea of giving them to someone they didn't know! So now they can visit them and see how they're doing. They've been renamed Batman and Robin by their new parents and they are doing great. It was a very happy ending for everyone.


A few of you have asked what was in the package that was on it's way to me so many months ago. It was a brand new bed for me! It came from Mammoth beds, which Mom says is really affordable compared to other big dog beds. It's got memory foam in it, so it's really comfy and cushy on my joints. Here are some pictures of me with my new bed:

What's in the box?

Mom decided to test it out with me. Comfy!

And now for my biggest news....
I'm going to be a big brother!!!! Mom and Dad are having a puppy, er, baby! This is partly why mom has been so busy and so tired. She told me she's about 21 weeks along and that means we're halfway through the wait for my new brother/sister (they aren't finding out whether it's a boy or girl). He/she is due to arrive around May 31st. Mom's been doing really well. She's had a very easy pregnancy (no morning sickness, whatever that is), but she did go through several weeks of feeling totally exhausted all the time. I tried to take good care of her though. The only thing that I haven't liked so much is that she doesn't rough house with me as much. She used to spend a lot of time with me on the floor playing, letting me sit on her, and snuggling with me. Now she's more protective of her belly, so she doesn't always let me sit on her. I forget how big I am and sometimes I plop down hard! That's their one and only concern about me when the baby comes. I forget what a big guy I am. But, since I'm such a totally awesome dog, they really aren't worried about how I'll do with the baby. They know they'll just have to watch us when we're together to make sure we're both okay.


Want to see some pictures of my soon-to-be best buddy? These are from Mom's sonogram on Jan. 2 (at 19 weeks).






I've missed you guys! I probably won't be able to post much, if at all, in the next few months. And of course after my new brother/sister is born Mom will be too busy to update my blog at all. Hopefully we can at least keep up with some of our doggie friends from time to time.
