Our sweet little baby... has stuff oozing from every possible orifice.
Miss Bea is getting a bunch of teeth, and because of it she has the following: especially severe drooling, an extremely snotty nose, diarrhea, a nasty rash on her face, and best of all, a big welted infection on her cheek (the doctor had to lance it to let the puss out). On top of that she's sneezing, coughing, and just plain ornery -- who wouldn't be?
Now, I've had a 100 lb dog for many years and he has done some pretty gross stuff, but this ranks right up there in the top 10. Yuckers.
Funniest part is that Bea (who already has bottom teeth) is getting her eye teeth next - so I think she'll temporarily look a bit like Dracula. She won't be vampire-like for long, though, because we can also see her front teeth coming down the pike.
Lovely, eh? Don't worry, we won't post any pictures.

November...
Hello All,
Sorry for the lack of blogs lately. Things have been real busy around here. The hole in the house was finally fixed, Matt's been studying for school, Melissa's been doing some work projects, and Bea has been hangin' out being sweet. Oh, we've also been watching all the Wisconsin teams beat up on the Minnesota teams... Packers 34, Vikings 0... Badgers 41, Gophs 34... heh, heh, heh. Lastly, we've all been sick -- with colds, flus, and more. Bea currently has a yucky rash on her face, which doesn't seem to bother her but looks a little scary. It'll probably be back to the doctor for her tomorrow. It is starting to be a weekly date.
Despite her first colds and rashes, Bea is doing lots of fun things now. She can no longer lay on her tummy for more than 30 seconds without rolling over. (She rolls over, smiles, and waits for the applause.) She can sit up for several minutes on her own. She and Dad play "hoops" with a new tiger basketball hoop. And, she finally realized she has toes. She is still not too fond of eating solids. We tried the mixing the sweet potatoes in with her cereal and that got us a little success. Then, just the other day we tried bananas... and whoa... she liked those ALOT better. Suddenly she was crying when the spoon came out instead of when it came in.
Bullet and Bea have become better friends lately. Bea is obsessed with watching Bullet and trying to touch him. Bullet finally doesn't run away whenever we sit down with her next to him and he is actually letting her touch him once in awhile.
Speaking of Bullet, the other day, Bullet ran away from home for the first time in 10 years. Luckily he came back. I was just about hysterical when I went to get him from the backyard and saw the gate open and no pup. Our neighborhood is bordered by the nature preserve (with lots of animals that would consider dogs lunch), the interstate, and the river. So, there are lots of places for doggies to get in trouble. Matt was driving around the neighborhood, my dad was on his way home from work, I was calling the humane societies... then, luckily, after about an hour, Bullet came prancing back up the driveway. Where Bullet went on his adventure, only he knows.
Well, that's the update from these parts, hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Love,
Melissa
