Just to start...

It's midnight and I should be going to bed, but who needs sleep anyway! I took Kim's advice and started a blog spot! Yes Kim that means you have to start one too! I hope to keep everyone updated on all that is going on in my life, my family and the life of my special needs puppy (with lots of stories on Mater to come!). Enjoy!

-Just a brief introduction on Mater's behalf.:

Mater was given to a rescue when he was 5 months old and the lady at the rescue decided that he was just too much puppy fo anyone to take. So, she posted him on craigslist for free and I thougtht I was getting a smokin deal for a full-bread silver lab. We have had Mater for a month now and it turns out that it's not that Mater has puppy issues, it is that Mater is Special. He has been diagnosed with severe seperation and generalized anxiety (he fears inanimate objects on the wall, shadows, mirrors and hair blow dryers) and severe obsessive compulsive disorder (he is even a skin picker!) The vet is sending us to a specialist for more testing. We had signed up for puppy classes at Petsmart, but are no longer going to be able to go because it takes two of us to hold him down when he gets scared. He does not like water so, I dilute pedialite (orange) just to get him to drink something And, to top it all off, Mater has extreme allergies to wheat, beef and corn, so he is on a specialized diet of Duck and Potato. I promise... good stories to come!
