Passport photos



This photo is of Ike a few days old, he does not frown like this anymore but smiles alot, I am too busy smiling back to take a picture but will try to do so soon. When the picture was taken and loren brought it to the embassy, they insisted that the picture has his ears, so loren came back to do that, unfortunately his cheeks then were SO big that it was impossible to have ears in the picture... No said the embassy, must have ears! so back to the picture taking, this time, we put fingers under his ears to stick them out beyond the massive cheeks.... and so Ike has passport photos.

He slept really well last night, 6pm to 11 pm then feed and clean nose, then did 12 to 4am, woke up with a stuffy nose (no cleaning) but ate and slept to 6am also stuffy nose. Today we were more careful with his awake times and made sure he ate and was soothed to sleep before he was over tired (ie no more than 1.5 to 2 hours) and its like a dream, no fuss, no cry and sleeping much more. The few days before this for some reason or other, mornings usually getting nate out ike suffers... we would miss this window and he is a lot harder to handle, up for 5-6 hours! Now hopefully its sleep beget sleep, thank you Dr. W!!

Nate had a great time on a trampoline yesterday bouncing up and down. He's also found where I keep all his new toys and pull one out when necessary, today he even brought it to school and wanted to take it to bed with him.

We finally got a cage big enough for bullet. The vet was given this massive cage and it fits bullet, now its cleaned, we have to get bullet used to it. Loren should probably just sleep with a towel form now till we leave and we toss that into the cage. Jake and Pistol may be able to travel together in a cage...
