Newton, 29 Weeks Old

Newton was so happy to get his cone off last week!! He had a big celebration in the park.














Today Newton had a play date with his new friend, Richie. He and Richie got dressed up and went on a big adventure!!

Day 205

Ho ho ho!!

Santa came to visit us at work the other day. He rode around on a warehouse cart and delivered presents to all of the Fisher & Paykel Healthcare girls and boys.

This year we got a sunshade for the beach or lawn or whatever. It is pretty cool!!

Newton, 27 Weeks Old

Last Friday Newton had to go to the vet to get neutered.

He was very scared, but he was very brave and he did a great job!














Now he has to wear a cone on his head. It is very difficult for him because he runs into things a lot and gets stuck. His first day with the cone, Newton tried to climb the stairs and his cone got stuck and he couldn't move. Also, since he doesn't have a snout, he has a lot of trouble eating and sometimes his food gets stuck on/in his cone. And sometimes he cries because he can't reach his food, so someone has to hold his plate still. It is all very sad, but he is doing an excellent job and the vet is very happy with the way that his stitches are healing.














Only about a week left before Newton can take his cone off and go play in the park. Yay!!

Day 193

Grey Lynn park is Newton's favorite place to run around, so he was very surprised to see all of the vendors, food booths and people, but I'm pretty sure he had a good time!!

Yummy fry bread with tomatoes and feta

Day 193

It's a little bit late, but I thought I would share photos from my first Thanksgiving in New Zealand.

My contribution to the meal was dessert... I made a cranberry cake, an apple crumble coffee cake and a chocolate pecan pie. Woo!
