The past few weeks have been full of little roller coaster rides. Some days Silas has been a really good baby, some days he has fussed all day long. Summer has been stressed, dad has been somewhat stressed, and little Silas, well, he just can't decide if he wants to cry or not. The general lack of updates and pictures is due to our trying to establish a routine, which has consumed much of our time.
This past Saturday was Barkley's first full day in the house since Silas came home. Our back yard is typically very muddy this time of year, and every time we let the dogs out they track in mud. So, we usually let them out front. Both of the dogs have been somewhat dirty for some time, and very smelly. This past weekend it finally got warm enough for us to clean both of them off. Since Bayley still isn't house trained, she was returned to the cage, while Barkley was allowed inside.
Barkley got along really well with Silas. In fact, Barkley behaved perfectly. Only when we let Bayley in one time did he start to get hyper - further highlighting the need that she needs to find a new home, since she tends to make him misbehave.
Silas also now has a bouncy seat and swing. A friend at church was kind enough to loan the bouncy seat, and so far Silas has really liked it. The swing also has helped to calm him down a few times, though he doesn't want to stay in it for more than about 15 minutes at a time.
