All these stories about dogs makes me want to chime in! I have an 11 year old labrador/doberman a.k.a. a laberman/dobador
I had a 5yo chihuahua mix but late 2012 she got an ear/eye infection and was put on meds. Then 3 weeks later her eyes turned totally red and she went blind. Brought her back asap and was told her eyes basically exploded 
Through various shelters I amazingly was able to find her a home with a couple who dedicated their life to helping dogs and she was able to get her eyes removed and is a happy girl in her new home. I felt sooo guilty but with a baby and not so nice kitty it wasn't fair to her. Her new mum sends updates//pictures so at least I know she is happy.

@mrsog: aw, that is awesome how you got your dude!
@Mamasig: I think that is why I don't want another dog right now. At the moment, our pets are certainly a fair bit of work. Especially because one of the cats has a chronic illness and requires medication twice daily and frequent vet visits, and the dog and the other cat don't get along. But I still feel like the enjoyment I get from having them far far far outweighs the hassle. I worry with another dog though, the politics of fitting that dog into the pet family (and how they'd react with all the other pets) and also the trying to walk 2 dogs and the possibility of more vet bills might come closer to making me feel like the pets were more hassle than enjoyment.
@cheesetomywhine: awww your poor little pup! I'm glad she found a home that has time to care for her though and you still get updates!

It's been a while since i popped in here. I see everyone is doing great, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the bump pics. One of these days i'll muster up the nerves to take a bump picture.
@Mae: The calender due date format looks really nice, thank you.
We (My babies and i) are almost 27 weeks now, yayyy. We passed the 1hr glucose test and at our last ultrasound appt, each baby was weighing 2lbs and a few ounces. I've finally gained about 14lbs total thru this pregnancy, and although i'm still throwing up, i haven't had to deal with the yucky all day nausea feeling.
Babies are constantly kicking up a storm, and i'm finally getting around to setting up their nursery, which really is fun. I intend to DIY a bunch of stuff. So far, i've only done up the canvas prints for their room. I'm going with a yellow and Grey theme with a hint of orange.Something along the lines of this pinterest nursery.
-
@Apex: love it! Can't wait to see more about the nursery, and maybe even a bump
-
@Mae: Sorry I've been MIA! We're expecting a girl, and my next appointment is Thursday 2/13, just a checkup.
Here's my first bump pic on the boards... this is me a little over a week ago, just shy of 24 weeks. I feel like I am getting bigger every day though (and people definitely have ALL sorts of things to say to me about my size/weight/whether I somehow got my due date wrong or am lying about it)! Some people are unbelievable.
(Please forgive the crappy photo snapped in the loo at work..)We are still working on the nursery but think we might have painted ourselves into a corner - pardon the pun - by painting the walls yellow, choosing espresso furniture, and wanting to accent with lavender, gray and cream. I think white furniture or a different wall color would have been the better choice, but I can't seem to convince DH that we need to re-paint the room! I'm gonna have to make it work.
Anyone any closer on names? I just posted on the May names board, and I'd love to hear how everyone else is progressing with that!
-
@Apex: I think this looks awesome! The colors are really striking together.
-
Just checked in real quick to say I have my glucose test in the a.m. Wish me luck.
-
@Apex: loveeee the nursery inspiration!
@gingerblonde: awesome about progress on nursery, but argh to how you feel stuck and want a new wall colour! Love the bump pic! We aren't really closer on names, I think Colin is definitely our boy name still clueless on girl names!
@Coopersmama: good luck! Hope you pass, and can put it behind you!
27w today over here, holy moly!
I am loving all the Olympic TV on in the am! Something to watch while I laze in bed as I'm not really a sleeper inner and I can hear DD babbling away in her crib!
5yr dating anniv with DH on Friday! What a big 5 years!
-
So I put this on twitter this morning:
"Well hello 3rd trimester kick off day! I wish I could say we're in the homestretch but that would be foolish! Time to get fat! #fatpreggo"
And the texts I am getting from people about it are sooooo funny. Invites to go out for fast food, to the dessert restaurant, etc, hahaha I am loving it. I know technically it's been third tri already, but in my crazy head I use the 27w mark.
-
@Beebug: Yay for 3rd trimester! Is it bad that I had to google when the third trimester starts to see if I was in it yet? I definitely haven't been paying as much attention to what week I'm in as I did last pregnancy.
So I woke up around 2 am with a gushing nosebleed. I only ever get nosebleeds during pregnancy! And now I have to lead a big meeting this afternoon (which I'm already nervous enough about) and I'm worried that my nose is going to start gushing blood again in the middle of it! And of course I wore a white shirt today...
-
@gingerblonde: you look great! and yay girl! We're still stuck between Fiona and Penelope. Although really it's me that is stuck. My husband wants Fiona and he calls her that, and I do too mostly. But I'm having trouble committing and he said if I want Penelope he's cool with it. So it's just sort of me figuring out what I want.
@Coopersmama: good luck! we'll be waiting for a good update!
@Beebug: Also loving the olympics! We watched it, or had it on in the background, all weekend. And you'll be happy to know we always route for Canada right after the US
Also lol on the tweet. I sort of forgot about getting weighed…! I have my 28 week appt today and I have no idea if I've finally gained. I'm thinking so. Hopefully I don't totally balloon over the next 12 weeks. Also yay for 5 years! My DH and I celebrate 3 years in 2 weeks! I 
winter weddings @cookie_dough: I also have no real clue on 3rd trimester. My bump book said it started at week 25 but that just didn't seem right to me. I felt like it starting at week 27 made much more sense so that is when I declared myself 3rd trimester. It feels weird to say that though… I'm in my 3rd trimester. I think I thought I'd feel…. bigger? lol. I'm not waddling yet, which I thought I would be haha. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you for no nosebleeds!
I actually took a bump pic on time this week, so here is my 28 week shot, on the actual first day of week 28.
-
@cookie_dough: I just make up my own math for the trimester's, lol. After 13w 2nd tri, after 27w 3rd tri! No real math, but to me it sort of makes sense, and if anything over calculates so I am definitely in that tri and keeps it clean on certain week milestones! Not that I really care, but the 2nd is definitely the best tri, so it sucks to see it go, haha! Yuck about nose bleed! I am a chronic nose bleed getter in normal times, and very seasonally, to a point where I have to have my nose packed, and then cauterized a couple times a year (usually end of March/beg of April and end Aug/beg of Sept) it's so annoying!
@Mae: I love winter weddings, too! But just our dating anniversary, we went on our first date on Valentine's Day (after meeting a week before that at a bar, lol). We went at 4pm and both didn't even realize we booked our first date on vday until we told friends of ours and they told us, we later laughed at this on the date and he said "well, I guess this means we're definitely both single if we're on a date on Valentine's Day!" We got married July 2011.....three years married this summer! Yay dog in the background of the pic again!! I want to see if I can get Fin in the background of mine....I will try tonight, he will probably be like wtf are you doing?
We have a pro painter coming tonight to quote getting our entryway and hallway done.....and kitchen....but DH doesn't know that and won't be impressed with me, hahaha.
-
@Coopersmama: Good luck with the test!
@Apex: I'm so happy to hear everything is going well! Your nursery inspiration looks really cute.
@gingerblonde: You look great! By some sort of miracle my husband and I picked our names very early and have stuck with them. I ordered name signs for above their cribs last week, so I think that makes it official, haha. Do you have a list of names narrowed down? What are you thinking?
@Beebug: Congrats on 27 weeks! We are loving all the Olympic coverage too. My husband and I are both sick so we did nothing but lay on the couch and watch Olympics all weekend.
@cookie_dough: Aw, sorry about your nosebleed! I hope the rest of your day goes well and no more bleeding!
@Mae: Congrats on 28 weeks! Great bump pic! Hope your appt goes well today.
-
PS has anyone been swimming lately?
Especially first time Momma's!
I swam around this time with #1 and swimming is so dang cool pregnant! It was lake swimming in the summer last time though, I can't imagine myself going swimming unless we realllly wanted to take DD between now and due date! I wore a t shirt and spandex shorts that summer, I am so not bold enough to show belly skin! But feeling the buoyancy of the belly was a really neat feeling!
-
I have a lot to catch up on! But just had time to read some but not all since last time. Just a quick question... when does 3rd trimester start? I thought it was 28 weeks! I've been considering myself 2nd trimester until Wednesday.
I'd appreciate good thoughts for our appointment today! It was around this time that we started to notice that DS was going to be small but he wasn't quite in the low %-ile to cause concern yet...so we are just crossing fingers for good growth, high placenta, and no cyst! Also have the glucose test as if there wasn't enough to stress out about!
@Coopersmama: Hope your test went well and you pass with flying colors! -
@skipra: lol the trimester stuff is really whatever you want! 40w of pregnancy divided by 3 is 13.3, so 13w2/3d, 26w5d ish by math?
I use 13w for beginning of 2nd, 27w for beginning of 3rd.
If you use 28w it totally works as it's all close enough, right? Plus thinking who may go overdue (I did and expect to this time) 28w could make more sense!
-
I am looking at a wagjag, groupon thing for a hotel night in Niagara Falls. I think I need a night away with DH. Hockey season almost over, I am sure my Mom would be thrilled to babysit, and something for us as we never do anything, and before #2 comes? Plus we have never been to Niagara Falls together, that's like *the* place to go given how close we are for most couples at some point in their relationship? Haha.
-
@Mae: @gingerblonde: Love the bumps
@Beebug: I take DD to swimming lessons once a week, and it's starting to get difficult! When we're in the pool it's fine, but wrestling her in and out of a bathing suit, etc it getting exhausting. We also transfer to the baby at the end of the lesson, so I have to hoist myself out of the big pool...which is really not attractive at this point hahaha. I also do prenatal aquafit once a week...which is much more enjoyable! I was kind of hoping to meet some preggo friends in the class so that I would know at least SOMEONE on mat leave with me at the same time...but so far I haven't talked to anyone!
@skipra: good luck for your appointment today...we'll be thinking of you!
-
@cookie_dough: That is cool about swimming lessons! We haven't done much with DD at this point in terms of swimming, I took her to the pool a couple times before I went back to work in the Fall, nothing since. Lots of lake swimming last summer at the cottage, but she lovessss the water so this summer we will have to get her in more! We have a pool/library/6 rink hockey rink/gym/track less than a 10min walk from our new place, so I have a feeling during mat leave I will be there lots with them! DD is actually there right now with daycare for kindergym. Did you meet many Mom's on mat leave #1? Sometimes I feel antisocial as I felt I didn't realllllly connect with many Mom's, didn't do a babyville group or anything. I had my two in my neighbourhood, and then the one Mom who just announced due in August, other than that I would meet some at Early Years programs, but not really connect with any beyond that. It's not that I was antisocial, I guess I am just a snot, haha.
-
@Beebug: Ya, I was pretty lucky and had tons of people to hang out with last mat leave. I made one really good friend in prenatal aquafit last time, and did a lot with her. And then I hung out with all the girls from our hospital prenatal class a ton. Plus I love signing up for activities, so we had something on the good almost every day, whether it be swimming lessons, baby music class, libary time, etc. Usually there would be a few of us from prenatal class doing the activities together. We also got together a lot and just hung out at ikea hahaha...such an awesome place when you have a group of loud babies. HUGE cafeteria and $1 breakfast
Or we would go on walks, go to playgroups, etc. I totally didn't make any NEW friends that I hadn't met in prenatal classes though. I'm not a snob, but people think I am because I'm shy hahaha
-
@cookie_dough: I don't know how to describe myself, I am definitely not shy, but also not outwardly friendly either. But once I am with friends am super chatty (probably too chatty, I love talking). That is cool you connected with prenatal class Mom's. I feel like no one connected at ours, it seemed so cold and formal! Babyville groups seem to be the biggie for how people connected here, and I was all anti-babyville for a silly reason, and this time I am not sure I will "fit" in as a Mom of two, you know? We don't have ikea close.....have to go into the city for that, I keep meaning to make a trip soon, need a few things, but I have never ever eaten there, lol.
I spent a lot of time walking, running, hiking with the dog and DD, and totally don't mind being on my own, but next time I would like to do a little better socially! I hated going to some weekly things and seeing other groups formed, felt like an outsider and felt like the uncool kid in school all over again, ha!
See US ladies....there *are* downsides to having so much time off.......bad jokes....I'm sorry!
-
@Mae: Thanks for the beautiful calendar type list. Love it! Very original.
Beautiful bump pics ladies! I should have taken one yesterday because I was dressed up all cute... ah well. Now i'm home in vest and pyjama pants with uncombed hair so that won't work.
@Beebug: when are you having your glucose test? We have the same EDD so i'm using you to gauge mine since right now... I don't really have a doctor.
Not sure if any of you all have been following my doctor dilemma. You can catch up here if you have the time http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/doctor-predicament. Since then my sis (an OBGYN) recommended a local OBGYN to me and I've heard only awesome things about him - very ethical which is my major concern and I should be talking to him later today. Maybe then I'll have some more direction.
So i'm technically doctor-less lol. I know I need to get the glucose test done so I will go into a lab upstairs our family doc and get it done...soon.. i guess later this week.
Anybody planning to cosleep? DH and I have decided to so I'm looking around for cosleepers. Anyone with experience here has any advice?
@Coopersmama: @skipra: all the best for your appointments today! Anticipating good updates from you both
-
@Glitter: Not doing it! Doc said at last appt that based on age, previous pregnancy, something else too that if I didn't want to he was okay with that, but if I wanted to he'd do the paperwork no problem! I didn't mind the drink with #1, but did decide not to do it this time! Sorry to be of no help, I would assume it would be around now if I were going to? I have to go for bloodwork later this week, and have my next check-up next Tuesday I think!
No co-sleeping advice, DD was in a bassinet beside our bed, I sometimes would bring her into bed with me in the first few months to get a little extra shut eye, but I heard every little sound she made, so at 10w or so she got booted and into the crib she went, lol. Definitely loved those snuggles and the extra sleep in early days, but then it got to be lest restful for me.

From BabyCentre today:
You are now 27 weeks pregnant (or in your 28th week if that's how you prefer to count it).
How your baby's growing
Now that you're approaching the final stage of pregnancy -- your third trimester -- your baby is really starting to grow and fill the available space in your uterus. She can now open and close her eyes, sleeps and wakes at regular intervals, and may suck a finger or thumb. Although they're still immature, your baby's lungs will function with some medical help, if she's born prematurely. Read more information on your baby's development this week
How your life's changing
Your body is altering rapidly now: your uterus is up near your rib cage and if you're unlucky you may discover the delights of leg cramps, hemorrhoids or varicose veins. (If it's any consolation, they should disappear after the birth.) Labour really isn't far away so if you haven't already signed up for a childbirth class, then find out if there is a space available in a course now.You're likely to have another prenatal appointment around now and you may have a blood test to check for pregnancy anemia, a deficiency of red blood cells. Many pregnant women develop a mild case of the illness because of normal changes in the body. If your blood group is Rhesus-negative and you tested negative for Rh antibodies at an earlier appointment, you'll have a further test around now.
Believe it or not, studies have shown that a mom's breastfeeding success has a lot to do with her partner's attitude. If you're a new dad, it’s time to bone up on breastfeeding basics so you can provide support after the baby's born. Your partner will need looking after in the first few weeks after the birth so be prepared to help out more around the house and at mealtimes, particularly if she has had a caesarean.

I am in a Canadian May 2014 facebook group from the babycentre website from the email above, one twin Mom had her twins already and just yesterday another Mom had her son at 26w3d. Scary stuff, none of us here are allowed to go this early!
We put our change table up on online classifieds, hopefully it can sell soon, be nice to get it out of the house and fund this nursery project, lol. Nice to get new things "for free", I justify spending when I have sold other things, ha!
-
@Glitter: we didn't co sleep in the beginning. DS slept in the pack and play bassinet thing until about 6 weeks. Then we moved him to the crib. We ended up cosleeping later on around 7-8 months. By then he could crawl, sit up, etc so I wasn't really worried.
-
@Beebug: ah, that is nice you still celebrate your dating anniversary, ours is valentines day too! 7 years for us.
Ours was also unintentional. We just set a date for "tuesday" to meet for coffee and get to know each other and then realized later it was vday. I was sort of tempted to take a big bouquet of vday balloons just to freak him out because thats the sort of thing that amuses me-- but I decided to reign it in luckily, and the rest is history haha. We don't really celebrate our dating anniversary anymore since we got married though. We do get each other cards but thats it. I think Feb is just too busy for us. The 14th is our dating anniversary and the 26th is our wedding anniversary and the 20th is my husband's birthday. So its sort of acknowledged but not celebrated. Also, good luck with the painters! I had painters in to do our entry/hall/stairs/great room/bedroom/bathroom bc they all have high ceilings. It wasn't too terribly expensive-- but they also did sort of a shitty job to be honest so it's possible I didn't hire the best people lol.
@Glitter: Gah that is stressful to be sans doctor! Hopefully this new one your sister recommended is the best of all worlds. I can totally see your dilemma though-- the more I think about my doc's casual attitude towards interventions in general the more uncomfortable I get with it. I fee like there are really very good reasons to avoid an epi if possible and especially a c-section, and the fact that most OBs seem to act as though its just no big deal is annoying. I mean I'm grateful those things exist if NEEDED. But that should not be the expected outcome if you don't want it. Also, I got my glucose test at 24 weeks but i think anywhere from 24-28 is normal? And I do not plan to cosleep. I'm a rocker and a roller and I am scared of squishing the baby haha. We'll do a rock n play next to the bed the first few weeks then transition to crib.
So, I had my 28 week appointment today (still with my doc's office bc I haven't met the midwives yet, although my doc was on vacation so I saw another doc in the practice who I didn't like as much). All good/normal, and very grateful my bp is still normal. I have a big fear I'll get high bp later and it will cause issues. Also got my rhogam shot and my tdap vaccine. Also, I am now officially supposed to start my kick counts. Every day I need to pick a time and get 10 "movements" in 2 hrs or less. If she doesn't move that much then I am supposed to eat something and drink some water and try again, and if she doesn't do 10 in 2 that time I am to head immediately to labor and delivery. Sort of scary stuff! The thing that is making me nervous is how to count? Like if she karate kicks me 5 times in 10 seconds, is that 5 movements bc it was 5 kicks? Or is it 1 movement bc it was one burst of activity? I didn't think to ask!
-
@Mae: Good about appt, when will midwives start? Hopefully our painting contractors are good -we have a for sale space online here at work and someone posted on behalf of them, and it's a family friend, so *hopefully* that's enough, and their website is pretty slick!! I emailed two different companies, this is the only one that got back to me.....I was really hoping for some comparison shopping, might have to call some others at random.
-
@Beebug: eh if you have a referral I'm sure it's fine! My issue with the company we hired is this really nice legit guy came out to look at the place and I thought he was the one doing the work-- NOPE. They subcontract it seems. So this husband/wife + one other guy team showed up in a van and they didn't speak a lot of english and didn't seem to have a good idea of what they were supposed to be doing, which was then hard to explain. Then they didn't get enough paint, TWICE, which meant my "one maybe two" day job turned into a 4.5 day job. And they did an okay job, but I'm a total perfectionist when it comes to painting and when I do it myself it has to be PERFECT. So them leaving drip marks places or brush marks or not taping perfectly really annoyed me.
ETA: about the midwives-- we have a meet and greet next wednesday. Assuming that I like them (and I expect to!) I'll ask to be transferred to their practice ASAP. I don't know if they'll be able to get me in the very next week for my 30 week appt or not though, so I may have 1 more appt with my OB and then see them officially for the first time at 32… we'll see! The prenatal care is identical at both so it doesn't honestly matter. The only reason they want you to switch over sooner rather than later is so that you can get to know them and feel more comfortable with them when the time comes
-
@Mamasig: did you cosleep with a cosleeper or with baby on the bed?
@Mae: DH and I are total sleep rollers as well so we're planning to cosleep with a cosleeper.
Been looking at these from Arms Reach.
http://www.amazon.com/Arms-Reach-Concepts-Co-Sleeper-Clear-Vue/dp/B003TPNV1S/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1UWWMJTB40KFE&coliid=I1QRLYNKQKOGH2 -
@Glitter: Oh, I guess thats SORTA what we're doing because we plan to have her in a rock n play right next to the bed within arms reach. I thought cosleeping meant IN the bed with us.
-
@Glitter: in the beginning, the baby was outside of the bed in the pack and play on the top part - similar concept to your links. I would have been too paranoid having in the bed.
But now he is physically in the bed. How times change!
-
@Glitter: What a stress to be doc searching now, but glad you realized your discomfort before it was too late. Fingers crossed that your sister's recommendation is a winner. For the glucose test, guidelines I've seen say between 24-28 weeks, so you're still okay. And I think the test is still valid if done later, there's just the risk that if you are diabetic, you're not getting the treatment you need as early as possible. And we're undecided about sleeping! Bed-sharing worries me because it goes against the mainstream pediatric guidelines, though I've heard many testimonies in favor. Popular bedside "co-sleepers," like Arm's Reach, aren't compatible with our bed frame. We're on the fence between just a normal crib placed at our bedside, or jury-rigging one into a co-sleeper (lots of tutorials online). The latter makes DH nervous and I'm starting to agree with him. So probably we'll just get a normal crib set up next to our bed? Feels like it shouldn't be so confusing!
-
Love all the bump pics! Everyone looks fabulous!
We had a great appointment (mostly) today! Placenta has moved enough that there's no concern and so far baby is measuring on track...totally average 58% and 2lb10 oz. So happy because it was around now that we noticed DS starting to measure small. Also DH got his second opinion and we are definitely having a boy. Only annoying thing was that I had to rush from the ultrasound to the midwifes office to take the glucose test. I had to get there by 3:30 supposedly which I did but the phlebotomist was sloooow and there were other people in front of me so by the time she got to me she refused to do it because she only works until 5 and it was already 4:15. So yeah I waited for 45 minutes for nothing. So frustrating!We have been cosleeping off and on since the beginning. We tried a cradle at first because my mom and sister insisted it was the best option but DS hated it so we had him in the napper of the pack n play. He woke up so often that I fell asleep in bed with him a lot and it wasn't safe. We got rid of blankets and pillows so it would be safer so between that and him growing out of the napper we started cosleeping more and more. We moved him to the crib but he was still not sleeping through the night so once I got pregnant again he ended up back in bed with us every single night. I think he would STTN if we didn't take him in bed with us so I will just caution that its a very difficult habbit to break! I think if this baby doesn't like the cradle or pnp then we will buy that arms reach cosleeper.
-
@Mae: hope you like the midwives. I looove my midwife practice. I wouldn't even consider going with an OB because the hospital I'll deliver at has a super high csection rate. Like over 40%. There is a big midwife presence in the hospital and their rates are much lower so you have to figure the OB rates are probably close to 50%. @Glitter: I guess that would be kind of like your previous doctor? I hope this new referral is exactly what you're looking for!
@Apex: love that nursery inspiration!
@gingerblonde: congrats on the girl! We are still deciding on the name too. -
@Mae: @Anandam: Yeh it was pretty stressful at first getting to figure out this whole doctor thing but I've become much less anxious about it. I trust that God has it all in control. Worrying won't help me or baby at this point.
I considered the rock n play sleeper too but read that the surface may not be the best for baby? It doesn't have a firm enough mattress to reduce the risk of SIDS or something of the sort...? There have been incidents with cosleepers also so even those are not accident proof- though they should be with that high cost!
-
@skipra: oh man that is annoying about the glucose test. And I hope I like the midwives too! I expect I will, sort of just a formality to meet them and make sure I don't get a weird vibe before officially jumping ship.
@Glitter: well, shit. lol. I planned to use it because several of my friends said it was what they used and it was the only thing that worked the first 2-3 months. And my one friend is lending us one. But now maybe we shouldn't? Sigh. I hate research. There should be a definitive list somewhere of how not to kill or maim your child.
-
@Mae: tell me about it. The research I've done in the last six months is likely more than I ever did at university lol.
-
@Mae: we considered the rnp but read that it can cause flat heads because there is hard plastic and not enough padding but I thought Fisher price was fixing it? I hadn't heard of increased sids risk associated with it although no matter what you research there will be someone that says it causes sids. The cosleepers say cribs cause sids and the crib enthusiasts say cosleeping causes it. There are obviously unsafe practices so as long as you avoid anything really stupid then all you can really do is what works best for your family.
-
@Glitter: I'm surprised that I hadn't heard of issues with the RnP because it seems so common for people to just use that the first few months. I guess we could also just put her pack n play in our room and let her sleep in that at first, although it couldn't go right next to the bed so I'd actually have to get out of bed to go check on her. Meh. I'm just hesitant to spend $130+ on a cosleeper that I hope to use for like, 3 months max. Also I don't think I could really use it as a cosleeper bc our bed is super high (I'm 5'5" and have to hop to get in). So it'd just be like a bassinet anyways. Sigh.
I had a 5yo chihuahua mix but late 2012 she got an ear/eye infection and was put on meds. Then 3 weeks later her eyes turned totally red and she went blind. Brought her back asap and was told her eyes basically exploded 
Through various shelters I amazingly was able to find her a home with a couple who dedicated their life to helping dogs and she was able to get her eyes removed and is a happy girl in her new home. I felt sooo guilty but with a baby and not so nice kitty it wasn't fair to her. Her new mum sends updates//pictures so at least I know she is happy.
