Post-wedding photo shoot

As some of you are probably aware, I wasn't completely happy with the pictures that my wedding photographer took of just Todd and I. Well I have a friend who now lives in Birmingham and has been taking pictures of her adorable daughter and posting them to her blog. This gave me an idea, since Todd bought his suit for the wedding and I obviously still have my dress - why not have a redo! Here are some of the first pictures I've gotten and I couldn't be happier with the result and I haven't even seen them all. The new picture at the top was also taken that day,

Allergies are for the Dogs!

So our little Jillian has been having the worst time with allergies this year. In the past she has been known to scratch her chest raw or chew on a foot for a bit but this year is an all out scratch/chew/bite fest! She starting getting worse over the past couple of days and Todd and I both have tried to scratch for her or rub her hind quarters which seem to be giving her the most trouble. I just can't take it anymore and I know she is ready for it to be over. My mom gave me some topical ointment that seems to help but Jill proceeds to sit and pout ofter I apply. We even have pills from the vet but she is not the best pill taker. Last night I put a pill in her mouth and she literally fell asleep with her head in my hand because she didn't want to swallow. So today I went out to PetSmart and got her some anti itch shampoo and soothing clothes that are suppose to help soothe her skin but also put a bitter taste on her skin so she won't bite. Wish me luck with the bath!
