First time in Sacramento to meet the family...

This past weekend we went to Sacramento to introduce Lani to my family. It went really well but while I was home I found out how much Lani really loves to swim. She spent the whole weekend in the pool. Every time I let her out into my parents backyard and the pool gate was open she would jump in. She loves kick boards and tried surfing on them, it didn't work.


She met her new cousin Zoe and they had fun. Zoe was very territorial which is fine. I didn't think Zoe would miss her but apparently she laid by the door for the first 2 days that we were gone.

I got the FURminator and used it last night and the amount of fur that came off of her was amazing! She still had a lot of hair coming off this morning when I brushed her before we came to work. I think it might take a couple sessions of brushing BUT the brush is awesome and it does work! Sorry the picture is blurry.

On Monday we had our first presentation to the residents about Lani and CCI. It went really well and they had lots of great questions. The only down fall was that the residents came to the presentation thinking that Lani was going to be presenting more. She didn't have to much of a part until the end and than started to engage until she saw her tennis ball. After that it was all over :)

Lani has made so many friends here at the hospital both with patients and staff. Thank you everyone who has welcomed her and loved her.
