Updated Ollie Photos

Ollie will be 10 weeks old on Saturday. When we brought her home at 7 weeks she weighed 13.4 lbs and at 9 weeks she was 20.9 lbs...she is growing so fast! We start puppy classes on Halloween. I bought her a bumble bee costume and it's a large and already to small!! I was going to dress her up for her first day of training and now I have to get another costume...I'm not sure if I can get one at this point...there is just not enough hours in a day!

This is Ollie at 7 weeks when she came to work with me:



This is Ollie at 9 weeks.



She is just the BEST companion. You can't be down when you are around her...she is definitely what we needed at this point in time with our wait for Alison.

Home Study Update

#3 is now due. We have a new social worker and she needs to come out to the house for an updated home visit.

I didn't get a warm fuzzy about the new visit and this new sw actually made me cry by saying that we now have new guidelines that we will have to meet because of some changes in our status. I thought that I was beyond tears and that I was prepared for anything at this point...but I wasn't and she just reduced me to tears with one quick email.

After talking with her she admitted that she should have worded her email to me a little better...you think?

So after rearranging my schedule at work to get the home study done on the Thursday, I got an email today that we needed to move up the date to the one day that is bad for Michael...but because we are just pushing the time limit to the max to update our home study it needs to be done ASAP...whatever, we will do what ever needs to be done to keep us on the right track for Alison.

Now I just have to tell my boss that I need to reschedule my day again...between doctors visits for the updates and classes that I need to take for my license, I haven't been in the office much and she isn't to happy about that.

Come home soon Alison...
