1st Shot

I took Duchess to the Vet yesterday afternoon for her first shot! I don't like doctor offices, hospitals, needles and everything else that has to do with medical issues. So that was an extremely difficult task for me!!! She did well on the ride over and while we were waiting in the lobby. Once we were brought back to the room she started to get kind of anxious :( I had to just stand and watch my baby be "restrained" while they examined her before issuing the shots. I then had to leave and go sit in the lobby...very hard...after a few seconds I heard her yelp and whine :( Lasted a couple seconds (I almost had to walk out of the office) and then it was finally done. They brought her out to me and she instantly snuggled up into me. They told me that if she was going to have any sort of reaction that it would happen within the first couple of hours. Both Cody and I had to work that night so I dropped her off with my parents. The next two hours were VERY hard. I was checking my phone every few minutes...hoping to NOT have a text or a call from my Mom or Dad. I ended up receiving one text but it was a GREAT text! The shot didn't affect her at all! She was still fiesty and playful! ALSO she ate a good dinner and was drinking plenty of water! SUCH a relief for me! Once the two hours were up I was in a wonderful mood! Duchess is one tough cookie! :D I was very proud of her! All that she has experienced is a little soreness at the injection site. Other than that, she is back to normal! :D hehe I have to take her back in, in about 4 weeks for her next set though...hopefully it will be a better experience for the both of us! :)

Toys






These are two of her favorite toys at the moment...lol :)

Duchess & Nintendo




Cody was playing Super Mario Bros and Duchess climbed on him and watched him for a bit. Soon she was distracted by the moving of his fingers on the controller! lol It was super cute!

THE LOOK


We were just playing with her and then all of a sudden she ran into my lap so Cody took some pictures...and this is one that we captured! haha "THE LOOK" hehe (I'm pretty sure we captured her in the middle of blinking hehe but it's still funny)

Daddy & Mommy Playtime









She is always so playful!!! Very entertaining! :)

Daddy (Cody) Day








Last Tuesday I went with my Dad on a couple errands, so Cody had Duchess all to himself! hehe These are the videos and pictures he took! So cute! :)







Saturday At My Parents





The first Saturday that Cody and I both worked, majority of the day, my parents were more than happy to watch Duchess! It was very nice to not worry about her being at home alone all day! She did very well I was told. :) hehe but of course she did! These are a few pictures that my Mom took while she was with them! The top photo is one of my favorites!
