Welcome to my blog!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and visit! We hope to share with you our journey of raising a child with Achondroplasia, the most common type of dwarfism. If this is your first time here, please start by reading Caitlyn's Story. It will share the beginning of her life with you. Enjoy!

Watch Snickers Grow

We adopted Snickers on January 5th and it's amazing how much she's grown.  Thankfully she's slowed down and weighs only 45 lbs (the same weight 2 months in a row).  I know some people couldn't understand why we would want to adopt a pitbull but we're here to prove to them that pits are great dogs.

Waiting in line to take this cutie home


She was so tiny!


Once a lap dog...always a lap dog


Hanna talking her on a walk







Jinx isn't sure about this new creature in the house



Even the puppy uses a stool in this house








The soccer ball when it looked like a soccer ball (kind of)



Please can I sleep in here?


Off to pick Hanna up from preschool



Somersaults




See...more stool time


Showing her patience 




Chilling with Cam


Catching bubbles




Sleepy dog


This is what happens when I try to exercise with the dog around

This is when I was doing squats


And this during planking



See...still a lap dog!!


Lots of walks


Walking in the hills by my parents


Making sure the girls are ok when swimming


The sprinkler ball has survived - as many of you thought it wouldn't



Supervising Caty while she cleans her bike


Watching for something


Snickers new crate - which fits all 3 kids!!


Relaxing


Hmm...looks like the above pic just with a different animal


Snickers home for the week we headed to San Diego for the LPA National Convention


Snickers is a joy to have.  She's loving, smart, goofy and definitely a crazy puppy!  She's now 10 months old and thankfully has slowed down in her weight gain.  Since we adopted her in January she was gaining 6-8 pounds a month but the last 2 months she's actually lost a lb and has topped out at 45 lbs.  We'll see what happens next time we bring her in for her flea/heartworm med.  We were hoping to hit the 50 lbs mark so we could order more than one month at a time online but she still hasn't reached that - so we'll see.  

Hope that you'll get to meet her someday!
