Its been an interesting few weeks.
After we got back from camping, Madison started getting "spots." It was a normal reaction to her MMR shot she got the Friday before we left for camping. The Dr had warned me that they could show up between 9-14 days after the shot and sure enough she got them in that time frame. Glad a had gotten that warning before it happened, otherwise I would have freaked out!
Then Mr. Bailey decided to have diarhea really bad. He was so under the weather that he was not acting normal at all. He wasn't excited to go for a ride when we went to the vet or even excited to go out like he normally is. He usually runs around like a freak for a little while before he decides its time to go back in. The vet said he had a fever and found nothing in the sample we brought her. So from the way he was acting she did a full blood work up and was tempted to keep him because she was worried about him. She did let him come home and gave me anti-poop meds & an antibiotic to be on the safe side. She called the next day saying that he was healthy as a horse except for a white cell count that was up indicating a parasite, so we did a round of de-worming to be on the safe side. She also recommended that we start Bailey on Fish oil.
Once we got everyone healthy and happy again it was easy sailing!
This past Friday we took Madison to her first race! Hawkeye Downs had a thing with a local radio station and all we had to do was pick up tickets at the radio station and we got in free. Now Madison has not been one for afternoon naps lately and she had skipped her afternoon nap that day, but she still made it until 9 pm before getting to cranky to stay at the track. We got to watch all the heat races, but we missed the features. She really enjoyed herself. I think we will be taking her again soon, but instead of sitting in the stands we are going to sit on the "party deck" so she has some room to stand, walk and play.
Saturday we went to the farmers market in the morning and had breakfast there plus got some really yummy veggies while Daddy went to go get his hair cut. Madison napped when we got home, so I finished painting her rocking chair. All thats left on that is putting a clear coat on it! In the afternoon we went to Solon Beef Days and had some lunch. We watched some Big Wheel Races, a Baggo Tournament & enjoyed some live music. Madison danced up a storm. It was so hot that on our way home we stopped for some ice cream. I think we wore out Madison that day.
Sunday was our low key day. I made some homemade pizzas for us and we went for a walk to get frozen yogurt only to find out that the frozen yogurt shop was closed. Of course we got in the truck and went for ice cream instead!
The exciting thing is Madison has started walking on her own. Its not much, but its something. We got at least 10 steps out of her before she leans forward to fall. She is getting better about her balance and is trying to sit down before she falls now.
Oh, Bailey has been calming down enough that he has been up to play with Madison a few times too. Its nice to see that he can be trusted with her. I was beginning to think it was a lost cause. I still don't trust him as much as I trust Maggie with her, but I'm sure it will come with time.
Well, I should go as Madison is looking out the window with Maggie and trying to destroy my new blinds! God, I love my kid!
