I can't believe it! My baby girl turned 18 today & I couldn't even celebrate with her. She's doing High School Rodeo in St. George. GRRRRR - I guess my tradition of taking the kids to breakfast on their birthday gets to take a back seat this year. She even bought her birthday present from us herself without us seeing it at all.
Both of my kids have made me so proud of who they are. They are awesome kids that I'm lucky to learn from. They are growing up so quickly. It's weird to think that my babies are 18 & 15 now! I don't think that makes me old though. Just ... um ... experienced - ya that's it, experienced. LOL I crack myself up.

Ozzy
Well, I finally made the tough decision to put Ozzy down. It was a blessing for him, I think. I made Kam take us to the vet because it broke my heart that his last few months weren't very good. He was having seizures daily, was completely blind & almost totally deaf. The last time Kam tried to bathe him, he freaked out & had a seizure. Kam thought he had drowned. He was a fighter that's for sure.
He's in heaven now running around like he had not been able to do for most of his life. His story is vague to me but I understand they found him neglected & abused in the middle of a road in Nashville, TN. I brought him to Utah to take care of him. He had to fight for his food before we got him so anytime we would give him some, he was really protective. So much so that we had to correct it quickly. He went after both kids for their food so it had to be stopped. Once he figured out we were different & food was readily available, he stopped. He thrived for awhile but in the last six months, his quality of life deterioated rapidly.
He loved to sit in Kam's chair next to him & he would give loves. He loved it so much because Kam would spoil him with french fries & even sometimes meat from his burger. Such a sweet boy! I'm glad he got to feel love for his final years. That's God's way, I think. We love you Ozzy! We'll be together again.
