In addition to Quita, our golden retriever, we are currently keeping Star, a lab/border collie mix, and Mulligan, a 5-month old Shih Tzu. And we are getting visits from Meg, a geriatric golden. Fortunately, everyone is well-behaved and potty-trained. But if you ring the door bell, it may sound like the city pound here.
Mulligan is about as cute as they come - and we are definitely getting our puppy fix. Mulligan loves Titus and thinks she is one of the big dogs when they are in the back yard.
And, on top of that, the boys got a 40 gallong salt-water aquarium for Christmas. We now have 2 clown fish, Marlin and Nemo (of course), a large Tang (like Dory but gray instead of blue), a blue damsel, a rabbit fish and a very long snowflake eel (which eats frozen shrimp). We have spent the last few days learning all about saltwater reef aquariums. Now, we are on the hunt to upgrade our light so we can grow coral. I'm not really sure who is more excited about the fish - me or the boys.
And last of all, Titus either has a small cold, allergies, or he's teething. He's had a lot of secretions the last couple of days (thank goodness for the suction machine) and he's been running a slight fever off and on. It could be teething since that would be normal for most kids teething, but then with our Texas weather, it could be allergies. It was 83 degrees yesterday and we had to turn on the AC since it got so hot in the house. In the last two weeks, we have had temps below 20 with ice on the road, to rain, to winds so hard it will blow you down. But either way, Titus is happy and growing. He was almost 19 lbs at his checkup this week. And, the boy needs another haircut. This child can grow hair faster than any one I've ever seen.
