Halloween has come and gone, but not before we got to put our brillant (so we think) idea for costumes into work! Every year Scott and I make at least one trip to the Stock show, but generally it is more than that. This year we already have two sets of tickets to the rodeo. And the rodeo is not a show in CO without the Westernaires. So sitting at the rodeo last year with Ernest and Jennette, the Westernaires took center stage and it occured to us that this was a costume we could make happen! I think we pulled it off pretty well, and as a bonus I finally got new boots out of the deal! 
Whoever said you had to stop dressing up as an adult doesn't know how to have fun! And that is one thing Scott and I really try to do, have fun!! If you couldn't tell from my goofy husband's serious pose...We spent the evening with our neighbors and had a great time! 
Great news! The day after halloween Robin and Davis were medically transported to a hospital here in CO!! I got to see him and hold him the first time Monday after he was home! He is doing really pretty good. He is almost six pounds and nursing or feeding from a bottle about 2 times a day! He can come home as soon as he takes a bottle every feeding and is gaining weight. I made a deal with him and we shook on it that he would be home by thanksgiving, but I'm not sure he really meant it! :)
Tanner finished his last injection last Friday!!! Yay!! I'm so glad he is done, he was not happy about spending so much time at the vets office. But the second and third injection went much easier than the first, he was up and walking the same day, whereas with the first one he could hardly stand let alone walk. I think I was hoping for a miracle as far as this treatment, but am still pleased with everything we have seen. The vet has already noticed significant improvement in his range of motion and resistance, which is great!! We have noticed at home that his little joints don't pop and crack near as much as they did before the first injection. And though he is still sore he has started running again at least a little!! So we think with more time he will be feeling a little better and at least give him a little comfort.

She knew the injections were hard on me and the last one had to be put off because Tanner was sick, which worried me a little. So the day of the injection she texted me all day to tell me he was getting extra TLC and she even sent the following picture! She takes such good care of Tanner and for that I couldn't be more thankful!
After his last injection, we had another reminder of winter! Tan was able to enjoy it!!
Last weekend Scott spent a night in Joes, Colorado where he got to go Pheasant hunting. It was with our salmon guide from Alaska as he owns both the fishing lodge there and the hunting lodge here. Ernest and Scott seemed to both have a great time, and each brought home a few pheasant.
