Bean's first camping trip....

well almost. Dalen and I seriously debated it. The weather is perfect (no rain) and there are not too many bugs out yet; however, we all did not get alot of sleep last night due to issues of the tooth-full kind AND it was going to get a little chilly. But that didn't stop us from taking a drive south to Spring Gulch campground on the East Fork of the Bitterroot and enjoying a lovely late afternoon/early evening in the great outdoors. We cooked up some hamburgers over a campfire and everything.Westin got to play.CopperDog got to play.Dadda got to play.Mama got to relax.Copper got some happy news this week. Poor CopperBear has been suffering from some bum discomfort, that we originally thought was caused by worms or something equally simple. We were sadly mistaken. 4 weeks later and two courses of antibiotics, the bum problem was still around. We had to get a biopsy. The biopsy came back and it isn't cancer or autoimmune...just inflammation. Dr. Joe (excellent veterinarian) said that it might be a recurring problem, but nothing that steroids can't handle. Yay!

In other news, Westin is surviving his first bout of diaper rash. Yes, we took him to the doctor (hey, keep that snickering down), because in our minds it was a raging, festering bum rash that could not possibly be normal diaper rash. Turns out (shockingly) it was not that bad. We did get some 'Happy Hinnie' cream from the pharmacist and some yeast powder-stuff. West is making a miraculous recovery (and so are his parents).
