Chasing His Tail

I am so glad I caught this on video!  I love when dogs chase their tails!!  Sooooo cute!!  :)

Big Boy!

I love how calm and grown up Beren is getting!  He is my big boy!  :)

Baths, Eyes, and Tongue

These pictures are all about a week old, but I didn't get a chance to post them before.  Anyways, Beren really does quite well with baths now, except for some pitiful whines and sad eyes.  Haha!  Speaking of eyes, I got a close-up because I am trying to keep track of the change in color.  I see less and less blue compared to the pictures of him at like 5 weeks old and before.  I really think they will turn to brown/yellow, but my husband isn't sure.  I also want to point out that I FINALLY got a picture of Beren with his tongue out!  I have been trying to get one for so long!  I am so happy!  Isn't he just the cutest!!?!!?

Update

We went to the cardiologist today!  Beren was a little impatient in the waiting room.  He didn't like that he got to meet awesome new people who only said hi for a couple minutes before going back to work out of reach from him.  Haha!  When we went back to the examination room, he did a great job of staying on the table.  The doctor confirmed that he has a heart murmur and rated it at a 4 out of 6 with 6 being the worst.  She recommended a ultrasound which we did.  He was taken away for about 10 minutes and when he came back, the doctor went through the results with me.  She said that he has a small hole connecting the two sides of the heart and so blood is flowing between them.  This is called Ventricular Septal Defect.  The Dr had trouble finding it because it is so small.  She said that he doesn't have any secondary problems such as an enlargement of the heart, but he may develop issues like that over time.  In rare occasions the hole can close naturally.  He is actually doing well!  There are no restrictions in his diet or lifestyle and he doesn't need medication.  We will monitor him to help determine if his condition does worsen.  

He was SO well behaved for everyone during his whole appointment!  Everyone who met him fell in love with him because he is such a sweetheart!  I am so proud of him!  And I am glad that at least for now, he can live a normal life!  :)  I gave him a nice treat for being such a good boy!  :)

Fun in the Car

Beren is getting much better at going for car rides!  In fact, he tends to want to explore more and not stay in his bed.  I take him with my when I pick up my husband from work.  We had to wait in the parking lot for a few minutes so this is is what we did.  :)

By the way, we have an appointment with the cardiologist tomorrow morning!  I can't wait to get some answers about the heart murmur that the vet discovered last week!  I am hoping for good news, but really even bad news will put my mind to rest because at least I will know instead of wonder and guess.

Collar!

I switched Beren from a harness to a collar!  He looks SO grown up!  I know he looks calm in these pictures, but he initially was freaking out from the change.  Poor little guy.  :(  He is getting better every single time I take him outside though.  I am proud of him!  :)

Close

Beren likes to keep me close by, even if he is just taking a nap.  This is what happened while I was at the sink washing some dishes.  :)
