Our Dog

The past two weeks have been eventful to say the least and Mika and I are hoping to have photos and all the wonderful (and not so wonderful!) adventures posted shortly.  We are leaving Italy tomorrow morning and headed to Corfu, Greece.

I had to take a moment though to share this story.

Most of you know our wonderful dog, Mickey.  As we travel around the world Mick has been enjoying himself, spending time with our loving friends Monica and Brendan.  They just got a 1 year old chocolate lab named Murphy and the two have apparently become quite the pair.

The story begins just before we left the country.  Mickey chose to get a skin infection probably in early August.  He went through 2 cycles of antibiotics and we thought we had it nailed down.  Monica and Brendan seemed unfazed by the last couple days of pills he required and all seemed well as we bid farewll.

Two weeks later, the rash is not only still there but coming back.  Our dear friends take him to the vet, I'm not even sure how many times, and Mickey begins a new cycle of steriods to cure the infection.  So....just short of a month into the trip, our dog now looks like this....

You can only laugh at his smiling face.  Apparently he is knocking everything over becasue he has no idea how big his head now is!

Monica and Brendan....Thank you so much for everything you are doing.  We owe you big time!


Mick....you are too much!  We love you.
