Parents of a Teenager

Ceasar has turned 2 years old this February! If my human-to-dog year conversion is correct, then I believe Pablo and I are now the parents to a 14 year-old teenager, haha. It has been a memorable two years with him in our lives. Pablo and I looked back through pictures from when was only weeks old and reminisced about his old habits, funny stories, and times of worry.
 After we moved to Texas and just before my trip to Nebraska in July of last year, our Ceasar got terribly sick. For days we watched him grow thinner and thinner as he refused to eat or drink. We nursed him as best we could, feeding him bits of rice and boiled meat when he would take it, covering him with blankets. We even slept next to him a couple of times. Yeah, we were THAT sure that he was leaving us. We were so relieved when, after a scary week and a half, his appetite returned and he stopped getting sick after every meal. Weight came back and he started playing and wagging his tail again.
That experience placed Ceasar in a particularly special place in our hearts. I think it made us realize just how important he had become to our little family. He was our first "child", haha. And he has been a trooper while we have been here. He has been moved to the backyard and away from our interaction, as well as being replaced with our little kid, and yet he still has so much love to show us when we step outside. I can't wait for us to be together under one roof again and for him and P J to get better acquainted. I have a feeling they are going to have a lot of fun together ;)
