I’ve written and re-written this a few times.  I think this is it…  It was WAY too long in it’s first few iterations.  I would have bored you all to tears…

I now understand why people who have infants, or get puppies tend to fall off the planet for a while.  I promise i will explain what has been going on with me soon.  But that is not what today’s post is about.  Today’s post is to show my hubby how much his puppy has changed since he’s been away.

So, here are a few photos of how Koni looks now.  The montage includes Koni snuggling with J out friend who is racer’s Mom, Koni and Racer in the car on the way to puppy graduation which was last Monday night, Koni and Racer watching the other puppies do their exams, Koni standing and sitting next to the couch today November 17, and last but not least, all of the teeth I have found from Koni’s teething!  That picture is what the title refers to of course. 

I still can’t believe he’s lost that many teeth that I have actually been able to find!  We never found any of Max’s puppy teeth. 

Love you and miss you sweetie.  I hope you enjoy this post.  It’s for you!   

Today is a VERY special day in my house.  Today, 4 years ago I found my Heart Dog.  I hadn’t heard that term until I went to obedience class and our instructor talked about her heart dog.  The idea that it is your canine soulmate.  Your perfect dog.  I found him 4 years ago under a car in my driveway.  I didn’t even know that I wanted or needed a dog at all.  In fact he found me and chose me.  My life has never been the same since I found Maximillian Augustus under that car in our driveway. 

He had Parvo and almost died.  It was a day much like today, raining, in the 50’s and beautiful in fall splendor.  Max only weighed 11 lbs and he should have been 20 lbs.  He got to know our vet REALLY well that first month, but he grew and thrived under our attention and was raised well by our 3 cats. 

Things have changed though since that day.  2 of our cats have passed on and we have added a puppy to the mix.  I love all of these pets very much, but Max is my heart and soul.  I adore him to the core of my being.  When he goes, I will be inconsolable.  I’m not very sentimental, but I get teary even now when I tell Max’s story.  I remember like yesterday being outside for 3 hours trying to get him to come out from under the car.  Being soaking wet and cold, cuddling him on our way to the vet that first visit.  Feeling him shake and tremble for a full hour before he finally warmed up.  Watching him sleep and resisting the urge to keep him. (I failed big time on that one)  You see, because Max is part pit bull, in our county if we had called Animal Control, he would have been euthanized immediately.  Being an animal lover I couldn’t let that happen.  This little guy hadn’t even gotten to have a chance to live.  So I swallowed my fear and got some books and learned all I could about raising a dog.  As Max grew in strength and size my love for him grew too.  After 2 days I decided I couldn’t give him up and he became our dog officially.  He came to us damaged, both his health and his psyche, but we’ve worked so hard over the years to make up for the abuse he suffered before he came to us. 

I’m grateful every day that Max came into our life.  He’s had some health issues lately and it makes him all the more precious to me.  Max was diagnosed recently as having benign tumors in his gum tissue causing his gums to be hard and overgrown.  I am thankful that they are benign and willnot cause him any danger.  It was a scare though that I hope I don’t have to have for many many more years.

So on my baby’s find-a-versary I just wanted to say here that I love my boy more than I can convey and I’m glad he found us!

Also, Happy Birthday to Deb and Beth!  May you have a wonderful year ahead of you filled with things that make you happy.
