meet canela!

Miss Canela joined our family this weekend. She was a rescue from Puerto Rico and is absolutely adorable!

She is so little compared to Barney and Shakey...about 10 pounds in all. She is a year old, already had one litter of puppies and even nursed her mommy's other litter of puppies. Quite a lil' sweetheart indeed!

She loves Max and wants to be with us 24/7, but Max isn't quite so sure yet.

Welcome to our sweet lil' family Miss Canela...we promise lots of fun, love and silly times! :)

charge syndrome

CHARGE syndrome is a recognizable (genetic) pattern of birth defects which occurs in about one in every 9-10,000 births worldwide. It is an extremely complex syndrome, involving extensive medical and physical difficulties that differ from child to child. The vast majority of the time, there is no history of CHARGE syndrome or any other similar conditions in the family. Babies with CHARGE syndrome are often born with life-threatening birth defects, including complex heart defects and breathing problems. They spend many months in the hospital and undergo many surgeries and other treatments. Swallowing and breathing problems make life difficult even when they come home. Most have hearing loss, vision loss, and balance problems which delay their development and communication. All are likely to require medical and educational intervention for many years. Despite these seemingly insurmountable obstacles, children with CHARGE syndrome often far surpass their medical, physical, educational, and social expectations.
