Kodi update

Kodi is starting to perk up a little more each day.  They have wrapped his dislocated leg for support, and he has started putting a little weight on  it occasionally.  He is still pretty hesitant to do so.  Here are a few more pics...I had to take the one from the back.  I thought it was too cute.  As you can see from the last photo, he is not exactly thrilled with my recent interest in photography.

Kodi's accident

Well, as I'm sure some of you heard already, Kodi escaped from his kennel AGAIN, and this time managed to jump our fence and take off into the night.  When Nick and I got home from dinner, he was gone.  We went out searching on foot and in the car with no luck.  Both of our parents came up to help us look for him.  

While Nick was out driving, he came across some people pulled over on the side of the road running right behind our edition.  Upon stopping to talk to them, he found out that they had hit Kodi and he had taken off running.  By some stroke of luck, he managed to limp back home where I was waiting in case he showed up.  

We rushed him to the vet where, thankfully, they told us he had no internal injuries.  He did dislocate one of his legs, while the other one had several deep cuts requiring staples.  There were also had lots of scrapes/bruises on most of his lower half.  He ended up staying at the vet for 2 nights.

We were able to bring him home yesterday afternoon.  He's still in quite a bit of pain, but he has started eating and drinking.  He's also managing to hobble out back to potty on only 3 legs, as he still doesn't want to put weight on the dislocated leg.  He has been quite a trooper.  Here are some pics of his battle wounds, as well as one of him bonding with Dad.

Christmas

Here are a few more Christmas pics!

Christmas

Here are a few shots from Christmas! Nick got a new beer brewing kit from Santa and I got a GPS so I can finally figure out where the heck I'm going! Very exciting! Kodi got a new collar and a cow that moos!

Here are a few pics of the families too!

Christmas Card Photo Attempts

Here are a few pics that didn't make the cut for our Christmas card.  Kodi wasn't really into the whole posing scene.

Cancun Trip

Nick and I went to Cancun over my birthday this year.  We had really nice weather for the most part.  We got to play in the ocean (Nick more than me) and drink lots of rum punch! We also practiced our volleyball skills on the beach.  If you check out our pics, you'll see one of a falcon? that had landed on our balcony with half a fish in his claw.  We had to take the picture through the glass door so we didn't scare him away, so it's not super clear, but you can still see him pretty well.  You'll also see Nick trying his hand at a Cuban cigar.  All in all, we had a great trip, and it was definitely nice to enjoy the warm weather for a week as it was only 30 degrees in Indy when we got back!

Tailgating Awesomeness!

As the leaves begin to turn and a chill enters the air, the thoughts of all who wish to still be in college turn to one thing...tailgating!  Once a year we like to pretend we're still of the age where daytime binge drinking isn't just tolerable, but celebrated, so we rallied the troops and headed down to Bloomington to tailgate for the IU/Eastern Michigan State A&M University game.  While we never actually made it into the game (like most of the other attendees), we think a good time was had by all.  Attendees included Rachel and myself, Donovan, Kodi Dogg, Russ and Lindsay and a couple of their friends.  We started the day off with some bloody mary's and gin and juice, and of course, drunkeness ensued.
