Keeping Lucas Entertained

We are having a great week this week, Lucas came down from Montana while he is on Spring Break. We are enjoying his company and he is keeping us busy!
I love this picture of him holding Cassandra's hand. She keeps going into his room and talking to him and playing with him. I bet he is thinking.....I wish she would leave me alone. Haha
Don't be too proud of him for catching this fish, Mom and Dad....I had to bait the hook for him because he thought the grub worms looked gross.
Elias was glad we finally caught something.
I love the tree in the background of this picture because it had moss hanging all over it, so I made Lucas pose for a lot of pictures in front of it. Needless to say...he was getting irritated with me.
Nope......I still need one more picture Lucas....keep smiling!
One more.....come on....PLEASE!
Okay....last one!
Oh......yea....I took Lucas to a refresher scuba diving course on Monday night. We enjoyed the class and picked up a few pointers. I got Cory on an April Fool's joke when I called home and told him that they had to rush Lucas to the hospital. It was so funny....Cory, kept saying..."calm down, just calm down, we'll call Sharon and have her fax a medical release to us, everything will be okay." Hehe......I guess that was a little mean.....but you have to remember....Cory got me good this past Christmas, when he let me go 8 hours thinking he got "let go" from his job. Ugh...pay back time!!!!
Smile Lucas.....last picture I promise ;-) Thanks Lucas for coming to visit us. We feel special that you wanted to come and we hope you will come back every year ;-)

RIP Little Bit

This was a rough day for the Cotton's. We had to say good-bye to Little Bit. Cory took him to the vet today and they put him to sleep.
Needless to say.....this was one day, that I wasn't in a big hurry to come home. I noticed Little Bit's absense as soon as I walked into the door because no one was there to wag his tail and greet me hello.

Long time ago..... Dave Brunson had Cory and I meet him one day, at Traders Village in Sept. 1998 and needless to say, we immediately fell in love with this little bundle of fur. He was as cute as ever. Even Cory couldn't tell me "No..we can't have him". So....$250 later, we brought him home and everyone loved him.

I could tell in Cory's voice, that he was having second thoughts about doing the deed, but we felt like it was necessary. He had a really bad rash that we treated several times, but he never did get over it. He couldn't get up and down the stairs without us helping him. And we were thinking he was beginning to loose his sight in his one eye. Ugh...poor feller....and he groaned when we picked him up, which made us think he was hurting all over.

Cassandra, said...no problem, we can always get another one and she said, that we could always play with Mema's dogs because she had plenty to share.

May you rest in peace Little Bit. We love you!
