Rabies & Babies

Back towards the end of August, Fire Station 28 hosted a Rabies Clinic.  We made it a point to take the 3 dogs.
Calm down!  I know this is too much excitement to handle....but this is what our Saturdays consist of.  Man, I'm getting old!  I know that's not the norm for a fun saturday morning, but we try to have a good time at whatever we're doing.
I'm not against the vet by no means...but for a simple rabies shot, the clinic is the way to go.  At the Vet, you pay $15 for the shot plus an office visit charge.  Well... that adds up for 3 dogs.  At the clinic, the cost is $5 per dog.  So it's a huge savings.  This was the second year that we have gone to this particular clinic.  Station 28 has got it going on!  They know how to make things work, and in an efficient way.  They actually do a drive thru.  The only time you have to get out of the car is when you have to sign the paperwork.  I highly recommend it.
This year, we had Karsyn, so she got to experience it.  She enjoyed herself very much.  (Mostly because she got to ride in the car, not in her carseat, while we were in the line.)  She sat in Justin's lap while we waited.


Last year, we (me, Justin and the 3 dogs) all piled in my Honda Accord and went to the clinic.  This year, we drove the Tahoe, and put all the dogs in the "way back".  Little Bit was the only one that could easily escape.  She found her a cozy spot on top of the rear seat.


Now can you tell me that your Saturday morning was more fun than that??


Tu Tu Cute


We had a total of 3 baby showers in the months prior to Karsyn's arrival.  We got LOTS and LOTS of good things, all of which we have gotten a lot of use out of.  We were very blessed to be showered with such wonderful gifts.  Clothes were a large chunk of what we received.  The majority of the clothes were sizes NB (newborn), 3M and a few 6M.  Karsyn wore size NB til she was 3 months, which was in March, and then wore 3M til the beginning of the summer.  Now, at 9.5 months, she wears size 6M or 6-9M.  A couple of the 6M outfits that we got for her shower were long sleeve, so of course its been too hot here lately to wear them.  So a couple weeks ago, on a rainy, somewhat-cool Sunday, I dressed her in one of the outfits.  It was a long sleeve shirt with a built in Tutu sewn on it.  Oh my GOODNESS...She looked SO cute in it!  Tutu Cute!  I'm hoping that she'll be able to wear it a couple more times before she's grows out of it.
