Almost 6 Months Old

Cora will turn 6 months old on Sunday--WOW! I can't believe it! She went for her check-up today. She looks great. She weighs 15lbs and 14.5oz (50%), and she is 27.5 inches long (95%!). Tall and slim. Her weight percentage has decreased but the doctor said that this is normal because she has not had formula. She had to have shots today too. She REALLY didn't like them. It was pitiful-- I have to remind myself that it is for the best. She was ok once we got home and had a nap.

I got a video of Daisy in Cora's lap. For those of you who don't know Daisy the Basset Hound, she is our first of two dogs. We got her 3 months after we got married (almost 8 years ago). She was no spring chicken then... She has always had this amazing ability to know when Coy or I don't feel well, are sad or have had a bad day. She is very snuggly in general but when you really need her, she won't leave your side. She is such a special part of our family. I guess she will be the same with Cora. I think she sensed that Cora needed her today. She just flopped down and let Cora abuse her in her own loving way. Daisy is Cora's favorite toy. Chloe the beagle is a super sweetie too but she can't quite figure Cora out. She keeps her distance for now. I'm sure she will eventually comes around.

And yes, Daisy is alive... It does not appear so in the movie- but she is. Enjoy!
