Happy New Year!

Bentley and I hope that everyone had a fantastic holiday!! As I stated in my last post, our Christmas was not quite what we were hoping for since my brother in law was in the hospital..however, we were very grateful this year that we were all together – and that was enough!! My brother-in-law has since come home from the hospital and is on his way to recovery..it’s going to be a long road, but we are just very lucky and extremely thankful to still have him here with us!!! We really enjoyed just being able to spend some time with him at home for the holidays, and Bentley was pretty excited because Uncle Chris got him a lucky totem necklace from his vacation in the Dominican, and a new Wilfork T-shirt for game day!!! We’re very much hoping with the new year will come some quiet time, we’ve pretty much had all the excitement we can handle for a couple years – and would like to get back to quiet weekends and ya know, maybe planning our wedding. 🙂

Bentley is still doing amazing, everyday I am more and more surprised at what he is learning to do – and how he is learning to adapt. This week, our new tricks were: getting up and down from the couch by himself, and mommy also woke up the past three nights with a big Bentley bear in the bed!!!!! I have NO idea how he even gets up there on his own (our bed is pretty high), but he does..and then I have to pick him up and put him on the floor in the AM (which is a good workout for me!). I did not think he would still want to get on the bed (I guess that was foolish on my part!), but since he does I think we may have to buy him some stairs so that he can do it on his own. He has his second round of Chemo on the 15th and hoping that goes as well as the first one. We have also started him on an arsenal of supplements: Artemisinin, Artemether, Butyrex, K9 Immunity Plus, Fish Oil, and Ester-C. Bentley still seems to be doing great, so we’re going to keep on fighting, and taking one day at a time – hoping to be one of the lucky few!

Hope everyone is enjoying 2014 so far!

Until next time..

  1. Bentley is just too adorable and a bit of a ham! I love it!

    Glad to hear things are calming down and it sounds like Bentley is telling cancer just where it can go, Way to go!

  2. OMD!!! These pictures are wonderful! Bentley is a ham indeed!! The camera loves this boy!

    That “over the shoulder loo,” showing off his jersey…his “couchpotatoe” pose…I’m just grinning ear to ear over here!! This post and these pics have made my day!

    So glad yor brother-inlaw is on te road to recovery and things are starting to settle down.

    Wedding? Is Bentley going to be the Best Man? Oh, by the way, we all just invited ourselves!

    I LOVE that Bentley gets up on the bed. Being able to sleep with yor dog in best is, in my opinion, one of THE best things in the world! Yeah, you’ve got to get him a little staircase or ramp…..then we need to see a videoof that!

    I’m just soooooo thrilled to hear how well he’s doing! He’s a sweetheart!

    Just scrolled back to look at thepictures a third time…they even get better each tme!

    Hugs to all and wishing everyone a trulynhapy new year!
