Wow....I am amazed that Winston has been home with us for 6 weeks now! The time seems to go so fast. Sadly this weekend he had to go for his last round of shots and microchip. Since our last car ride over to Odyssey Pets (off Preston and 635) we have learned to be prepared!! If you will please remember back 2 weeks ago when we made this trip, it was not pleasant. Chris and I have taken everyone's (thank you to all) ideas into account. We began the trip with Winston sitting on Chris' lap (many have said he needs to see outside)....You see what we have learned is when he begins to drool he is about to get sick. Quickly we realize looking out the window is no better than him in his kennel. Therefore, back in the kennel he went... YES he got sick the whole way over. He was so excited to be out of the car once we got there. We showed up a little earlier than last time and they were still adopting out pets. Dana and the Rowlett Animal Adoption family were so busy. Therefore we just stuck around a bit while other sweet dogs got new parents and homes. Dana and Rowlett Animal Adoption adopt pets from Odyssey Pets about every Saturday around 12. It is so wonderful that Odyssey Pets allows them to do this.

Once things settled down a bit they were ready for our little guy. The sweet little girl (who gave him his last shot) took him and gave him his last PUPPY shot. Next he was passed on for the microchipping....I had to leave because I knew he would cry. Dana did a great job; and he is now ready for the REAL WORLD!!! Now it was that dreaded time...the CAR RIDE HOME! Poor Winston he really doesn't do well. He was sick the whole way home too. I hate that there is really nothing we can do for him. Everyone (the rescue people and trainer) says he may grow out of it. I sure hope so other wise we will never be able to leave our home!! That would be so tragic as we would like to see Abby and the kiddos some time soon!!! Once we were home, Chris and I cleaned up. Winston well he just chilled...he really wasn't himself for about 3 hours. Once he recovered from the car ride. He ate some dinner and played a bit later on.

LOOK who got a new package as well. He was so excited because he got another gift from the ROBERTS clan (Uncle Timmy, Aunt Riley, Grandma, and Grandpa). Look at this little guy loving his gifts. They sent him a dog that looks very similar to Winston, as well as, his same size. I love watching him drag it around the house. Tomorrow Winston goes for his FIRST HAIR CUT!!! I have left very important instructions with Chris to take lots of pictures. I feel like I may be missing an important moment in our little guys life, but have great TRUST in Chris. Be looking for a new dapper Winston soon!

Just checking to make sure it is his....

he loves to open gifts.

This is the dog they sent him...looks so similar to Winston!
