The Ochoa's: A new addition

We have a new addition to the family! Not me and Seth...well not yet...and not a baby either. hehe. My dad has a puppy! Her name is Audrey and she's so beautiful. I'm sure me and Seth will be getting one soon so that will be another blog. But as for now...it's all about Audrey and my dad. The story behind Audrey....I guess I should go back in time a little bit. lol. If you haven't figured it out yet we are a border collie family. When I was younger we bought our first border collie from an old friend and ever since then we have loved em! They are awesome dogs! They are sssoooo smart, sweet, and protective. They really are great dogs. So the oldest dog we have is my dad's, Kelsey Doodle. Then we had Riley Bo, my mom's. My mom also got Rascal and Haley(brother and sister). I have Abby Dabby and now my dad has Audrey. The story behind Audrey and probably the one that we will eventually have goes like this... It's kinda a bitter sweet moment but few months ago Riley had developed a large bump on his forehead. My mom took him to the vet and they told her it was an infection. The vet gave him some antibiotics and sent him home but the bump never went away. It seemed like it was only getting bigger and it was getting harder for him to breathe. My mom again took him up to the vet. They wanted to do an MRI and were going to aspirate the fluid from the bump. When the took him in they aspirated the fluid out and about 30 minutes later the fluid filled back up. They took a biopsy while doing all this and the prognosis came back as cancer. He had sinus cancer. The vet told them that all they could do was just to take him home and make him feel comfortable. That was pretty much all we could do. I know my mom is probably crying about now. (I'm sorry mommas) In the end they had to put him down. It was too much of a struggle to breathe and he was constantly in pain. A few days after my mom had put him down she was in the kitchen and looked down at Hailey. Hailey looked big! But this wasn't the first time because she had gone through several false pregnancies. So my mom bent down to feel her tummy and it was as hard as a rock! Haley was indeed pregnant!! She had her puppies a few weeks later....10! Goodness! We always joke that Riley Bo went out with a bang! lol. But it's still been a big roller coaster for our family. Haley had 10 puppies. 1 was stillborn and 3 were very small, sick, and premature. We didn't notice for a couple days. One of those 3 didn't make it. So we ended up with 8 total puppies. And now we have beautiful baby Audrey! She's already learning to sit, had her first car ride, is being potty trained, and lays down like a frog like Kelsey doodle! I think the cutest part of it all is that she just wags her tail EVERYWHERE she goes! No matter what she's doing...walking around..being outside...everything...she just wags her tail. I think it's so cute!
