Our Third Visit

On Wednesday, June 17, Nikki had an appointment with the hemotologist and the neurologist. I now take the day off for these appointments as they are about one hour from our home and usually draining. This day was different because Nikki and I were able to visit with Maya.

Maya has grown. That's a recent picture of her to the left. As you can see, she is still a beautiful dog. She appears to have a great disposition especially with Nikki. Actually, the two of them are quite fond of one another. There was a lot of licking goin' on (and not just from Maya!) You see.. Nikki gives kisses with her tongue.. It's a kiss only a mother (and Maya) could love!!

We are planning our next visit. This time, Maya will spend the night at our house!! We are very excited.. I'll be sure to keep you posted.

More Pictures

Maya is now with Judy. Both Judy and Sharon are her puppy-raisers. Or are they our puppy-raisers(?) Anyway, she's at Judy's right now. Judy shared these pictures. Looks like she is enjoying her new roommates.

We are looking forward to another visit in June. Her home-coming is some time mid-August(?) For now, I hope that you enjoy the pictures... I do. She is just so darn cute!! (and so are her new friends!)

Our Second Visit


Over the Memorial Day weekend, our puppy-raiser's Judy and Sharon graciously allowed us to visit Maya. We were amazed how big she had grown in just four weeks! She is such a sweet puppy. However, a little more adventerous then our first visit. We all learned a few lessons on that day even a few commands. I swear that dog training is more for the owners than for the dog!

Nikki had a very quick seizure that day. It was only a second or two. She was sitting on the floor visiting Maya and immediately "fell" backwards. Maya was sitting by her and started to lick her neck. Could this be a sign that she is already attentive to Nikki's needs(?)

Well, at worst, we have a beautiful fuzzy friend for Nikki! Everytime we talk about Maya, Nikki smiles! She may not be able to talk but I know that she understands who Maya is... Maya is not even here yet and she's already brought happiness to Nikki!!
