Poor Henry

Poor Henry

Henry has been eating like a horse lately.  I fill up his food bowl and BAM, he’s in there eating it.  Maybe he’s putting on his winter blubber because BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE.  (Freeze Warning signs are even up.)  Usually he’s kind of a grazer, he may or may not eat every day.  Lately, it has been every day, and all of the food he’s given.

I filled up his food bowl yesterday, while Joey sat ensconced in blankets on the futon waiting for me to hurry up already so we could watch Big Bang Theory.  As I dumped Henry’s food in his dish I yelled to Joey, “I think Henry’s pregnant, he is eating so much food all the time!”

“Uhh, babe?” Joey yelled back, “Henry’s a boy and he’s fixed.  He isn’t pregnant.”

“Yeah, that’s true.  I guess he and I have the same odds then, don’t we?” I hollered back.

Then I laughed and laughed and laughed about it.  I’m not sure if it was hysterical laughter, or if I actually thought my statement was funny.

Joey certainly wasn’t sure whether he was supposed to laugh or pinch me to snap me out of hysteria.

I smirked tonight when I refilled Henry’s food dish.  I still think he’s probably pregnant.

Joey is my best friend. We welcomed our miracle baby, Analie Alexa on November 23, 2010. She was 7 lbs of cuteness and we are so thankful for her. We lost our first baby (who we symbolically named Samuel) the summer of 2009. I love being a Christian, even when it's hard. I've tried IVF. Twice. It worked. Once. That's how we got Analie. I'm always willing to talk about infertility. Diagnosis: Stage 4 Endometriosis (plus a few other bonus things) I'm live in Indiana. I enjoy reading and going for walks in the evening. I get my news from NPR. Someday I want to be a guest on Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. I love backpacking, hiking, canoeing and survival camping. I'm a big fan of weekends. My bike's name is Thunder. I'm a youth pastor's wife. I dig cows. I don't handle stress well. I'm not good at fishing; I talk too much. Cooking and baking are my favorite. I love hanging out with my girlfriends! I'm a budding environmentalista. I love me my Joey. Texas is where we "came of age". I enjoy seeing animals and want my very own Alpaca. And Koala. And Panda. Conservation is beautiful. I'm a neat freak. I like all-natural, chemical-free, environmentally-friendly products. Green is my favorite color. Still.
