Weekend to Arizona

We spent the the long weekend in Arizona visiting Roy's friend Cody and his wife Melissa. They recently had a baby and we went to see him and catch up. Roy met Cody while he was on the golf team at UVSC. Of course they had to play golf. They had a lot of fun, Cody even helped Roy fix his swing. YAY!!! We had lots of fun and wish we lived closer to them. Molly had a blast. Cody and Melissa have two dogs. Molly got a long so well with them. In fact, we had to separate them once in a while to let them catch their breath.

The trip home was LONG. The day after we got back home from our Christmas break Molly had gotten an infection of some kind. We called our Vet back in Utah and she prescribed an antibiotic for her. We had her on it for 2 weeks and it was not getting better. Because of this infection she had, she omitted this terrible metallic smell. The reason this trip was so long was 6 hours in the car with this smell could have been enough to kill you.

We decided to take Molly into a Vet out here in Vegas. I asked around at my school to find a good one. Roy took her while I was at work. Poor Molly. She had the works done to her. Her infection was really bad, they cleaned her out (from the backside) shot her up with some direct antibiotics and then prescribed her pills as well. The Vet said that he had never smelled a smell that bad in his career. Of course Molly was so good, she let them do whatever they needed to do to her. I think she knew they were making her better. Roy said every time they brought her out a different person was carrying her because they wanted to hold the cute puppy. That very night she was feeling much better. She had a little twinkle in her eye and seemed happier. She has had so many baths this month because of her stench... she now has a new word in her vocabulary and she doesn't like it. BATH.

Molly has been such a good friend to have in our family.


Hoover Dam

They are building a new bridge at the dam to cross. It is absolutly amazing they way they are building it. It is going to be very tall. We tried to get some pictures of it.
