Sad News...

I have sad news. After one week with Felix is was determined that we were not the right owners for him. He suffered from separation anxiety and was starting to hurt himself when he was destructive. So today we drove to Myrtle Beach to hand him over to a CBR foster volunteer who will be able to work with him. He will be with people who work from home and he'll have buddies to play with throughout the day.

It's a...Felix!

Yesterday we went to South of the Border to meet Felix and hopefully adopt him. Well needless to say when we saw him, it was pretty much over. We knew we would be taking him home with us. When he popped his head out of the sunroof we just knew. We met him and then he pretty much just hopped right into the jeep and said lets go.

He loves to give kisses. I got a bath on the ride home. The whole 2 hour trip. Last night was a little rough. Him not knowing his surroundings and us not really sure what he would do. He does whine a lot right now. We think it is because his foster mom had other dogs and a doggie door that he could go in and out whenever he pleases. We do not have either of those. But today he seems pretty chill. As I type he is laying on the floor behind me. We need to train him on basic commands and also teach him how to play. He did try to play a little bit this morning on his own with a stuffed squeaky toy. That lasted about 20 seconds. Once he gets used to us and us with him things should hopefully get better.

Kenny Chesney

On Friday Brian and me went to see Kenny Chesney with Leann Rimes. This was my birthday present from him. I had a blast and even though Brian is not a Kenny fan, let alone a country fan, I think he did really well. The best part is is we were able to leave the parking lot and had no trouble at all getting out. It was not at all like our experience when we went to Darlington.

Happy 30th!

30 years ago on August 10th at 6:19pm I was born. Happy Birthday to me! We celebrated my birthday with a small party. We had my parents, Brian's parents, Brian's sister, brother-in-law and nephew, and my friend Christine and her son Jackson. My parents were able came into town to help celebrate. We went to the beach and the zoo. I was also finally able to have my chocolate cake and seven minute icing for the first time in about 5 years. Overall it was fun and I'm glad my parents were able to come down. I miss them already. So far 30 isn't so bad.

Felix Update

So we have everything, now we just need the dog. Here is the update with Felix. We talked to the woman who is fostering him and they are located in South Carolina. She was able to answer all of our questions before we had the chance to ask them. This is what she had to say about Felix:

• he is house trained
• playful with other dogs
• passive
• doesn't like loud noises
• hand shy (probably been abused)
• doesn't jump (fences or people)
• good on leash
• doesn't know how to play with toys by himself (nobody probably played with him)
• no aggression
• knows sit and down

He goes to the vet this week, he gets neutered next week and if everything goes okay with the vet, then she will bring him to Wilmington in three weeks for us to have over the weekend. Overall she said he is a really good dog that likes to lay on the couch and be petted and loved.
