Ginger Bell is growing!


Ginger can no longer squeeze through the BEAUTIFUL doggy gate Andy made! She is getting bigger and soon will be able to give Roxy a run. Now, Roxy gives her an attitude, but her "Small Dog Syndrome" is about to be challenged in real time!

Tanner is getting ready for Hollywood!



Tanner has been a fabulous patient and even gets to come home tonight! His doctor said he is getting him ready for Hollywood! His lips are so luscious and kissable! Botox baby!

BTW, Todd and Abby get the Beary Brave Award too, as this has been a long journey to pedal, but we are at the top of the hill ready to coast down! All is well and thanks for all the prayers and hungry bellies! xo

Superbowl Party!


This is the way the Hickson's partied for the Superbowl - white shirts, ties and fasting! We couldn't understand why no one wanted to come party with us!

The Tan Man is now a cup baby!



Most babies at five months are either nursing or bottle babies. Tanner is a cup boy! Not a sippy cup ... a real cup! ... and very proficient at it! In fact, he could gulp down 4 ounces in a few short minutes if you let him. It's incredible to witness and a comfort to see what a great job Todd and Abby have done to prepare for the next few weeks. Blessings, blessings! xo
