There are only four words in the English language which end in 'dous': tremendous, horrendous, stupendous, and hazardous.

This is the newest member of our family.
Technically she belongs to Jaime, but we have all fallen for her.
Her name is Roxy and she is a 9 month old boxer.

UPDATE

I just got word about my cousin, Josh. He has been taken off the respirator and is currently breathing on his own. He knows who he is, but does not know what happened, where he is, or what year we are in. He recognized his parents today and was able to say 'pain'. The doctors are giving him a good prognosis but said it will probably be at least a year before he can actually go home. Once he is out of the hospital he will have to go to a rehab center and learn to walk again. PRAISE GOD FOR HIS GOODNESS!!!
