Doggie Door!

Well this is a really late post but oh well!

The weekend after we moved into our new place we put in a new back door so we could add a doggie door for Major. It has been wonderful to have it! When Jordan travels and I'm working or at school for long hours I don't have to worry about him.

During the move-me, Major, and Jordan.

Dad and Jordan installing the new door. Luckily it was a beautiful day!
Measuring the height of Major so the door was the perfect height!

Jordan showing Major how to use the new door!

It is now his favorite thing! When it's nice outside, I can't tell you how many times he goes in and out. He loves to go outside and "sun"

Major+broken glass=Bad!

Saturday night, Major knocked over a glass and then stepped on a broken piece. It was a really deep and gross cut, but we decided that it would heal on it's own. He's so tough and it didn't even seem to phase him for a while but last night he had a really bad night. He kept me up until the wee hours of the morning. He was so miserable, and it was obviously really bothering him. Well, I took him to the vet today, and I guess I should've taken him on Saturday when it happened. They said they would've stitched it up then but now it was too late. oops! You live and you learn I guess! Anyways, they tried to surgically glue it together, and I'm suppose to keep it dry (it's suppose to rain tomorrow hahah) and also to keep him from licking it.

They gave me a cone for him. Haha! He went absolutely berzerk when I put it on! Let's just say, we won't be wearing that again.Instead of the cone, I got a baby sock and taped the top of it to his leg so it won't fall off. It seems to be working, which is much better than that dumb cone!
Poor little guy!

Here's a video of him when I put the cone on. It doesn't quite do justice to how berserk he went. Of course I didn't have the video camera out at the funniest part!

Our new place!

We moved in October, and I'm just now putting up pictures. Woops! Anyways, we love it! It's bigger than our last place, has a backyard with a dog door, and a garage. It's a little further out from Dallas than we really wanted, but it's not been that bad getting to school and work for Jordan.
