Bad Venison!

Posted on April 18, 2007 by Jonathan

We found out yesterday that the dog food we’ve been feeding Commodus for the last month has been recalled. The food is a venison and brown rice blend, which the pet store told us “was a higher quality food” compared to what Commodus was eating prior to a month ago. I think this is the first dry dog food that’s been a problem amongst the recent fury of pet food recalls.
So far we don’t think Commodus has been severely impacted by the food, but I took him to the vet this morning just to make sure he’s in good shape. At the vet they collected both a blood and urine sample. We should have the results back in a few days.
[4/20/07 Update] The vet called to let us know that Commodus’ blood and urine were both normal.
Here’s a shot of Commodus sticking his tongue out at Natural Balance Pet Food.

Three Weeks Old

Avery is three weeks old today. Lately he’s been a little less of a sleepy-head and has been more interested in some of his toys. Here are a few shots from this last week.

Two Weeks Old

Posted on April 7, 2007 by Jonathan

Avery was two weeks old on Thursday. We’re starting to get more of a routine going with him, which has earned us four hour stretches of sleep. He’s also starting to have more awake time throughout the day. He continues to be adorable and Lindsey and I are having lots of fun learning all about him.
Lindsey is looking great. It’s hard to tell she had a baby two weeks ago. The doctor gave her the okay to start taking walks again, so last night we had our first trip around the “big block” with Avery. It took us a minute to figure out how the car seat hooked into the stroller, and then we ran into a bunch of neighbors who wanted to meet him. Eventually we made it around the block, and then it was time to eat again.
Kind of puts things in perspective.

Jonathan’s 27th Birthday

Posted on April 3, 2007 by Jonathan

On Monday I turned 27. I still don’t feel very old, but 30 is starting to seem within reach. At any rate it was a cause for a celebration, and a grand one at that.

Cheers.

For dinner we had beef tenderloin served with a cognac pan sauce. The flaming cognac was briefly entertaining.

The steak was perfect.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

We tried to get Avery to help with the candles.
