all about the dogs

First let me tell you that today has been one of those days, YES ALREADY that about make you crazy. Gwen is feeling so much better that she has returned to being s stubborn pain in my ass. She wanted to go for a walk instead of peeing this morning and failed to follow my instructions to return. Can’t pull on her to hard for fear of hurting her neck. ARGGG! So we get back into the routine of getting ready, feeding and etc. This is where the next saga comes in. EVERYONE seems to be concerned that there will be 1 fucking piece of kibble left behind.

Gwen – update

Ok we are finally home! Gwen has a ruptured/slipped otherwise unhappy disc in her neck. This is an issue because if not corrected she could become paralyzed. They are extremely confident that she can be treated without surgery. Which is excellent news! The only other good news was that the bill was only $46 including her meds. Her standing around holding one foot in the air is the same thing that happened to me with the sciatic nerve, guess her foot tingles too. J They are requesting that we contain her to a crate for the next 4 weeks. She can go outside 4 times a day and if she . . . → Read More: Gwen – update

Wednesday

So here I am not working but at home. I mean it is what I wanted but under different circumstances. There is something terribly wrong with her. She’s 10 years old has had seizures for most of those years and is suppose to have a hear murmur. Her seizures are mild and only occur about 1 time a quarter. We don’t medicate her as that would be worse for her life than the 15 minute ordeal. The murmur by one doctors account isn’t worth talking about and another says it is serious. When I put my hand on her chest her heart beat is quite freaky. So her current problem . . . → Read More: Wednesday

Stop visiting she’s not your puppy anymore

I know this seems really harsh but the reality of the matter is that you couldn’t take care of her and you gave her up. She is my baby girl now.

Last night when we were returning to my house from KLT’s we had separate cars. I pull in the drive and start to unload a few things when the neighbors pull in. Well great KLT is close behind with a truck load of dogs, and he’s dressed and in a hurry to go ride his bicycle. Before he gets there the neighbor ask if they can come see the dog tonight. I tell her maybe that Suzie . . . → Read More: Stop visiting she’s not your puppy anymore

emotionally drained

I am not sure I will get this finished before posting….

Today has been a very draining day, emotionally that is. KLT asked how and I responded with just pick somthing and I will tell you. He only picked one.

Well first there is a past collegue who is sick, very sick. Cancer. Cancer has moved into both lungs and the brain. Facing our own mortality is never good.

Then there is my good friend who either doesn’t trust or doesn’t consider me as good of a friend as I think of her. She kept something so big bottled in facing it all alone. WHAT THE CRAP! I am . . . → Read More: emotionally drained

teh Rain

This weekend was interupted by the rain, well at least what I wanted to do was. 🙁 Saturday it finally cleared up but KLT said that more rain was coming and I would probably not get much sun in. Someone took one of their favorite toys outside and when I discovered it just outside the patio door, well it looked so sad.

I know HDR is a little much for this but I love the way rainy things look in HDR. So realistic.

Well after the rain was determined to stay I decided that cleaning would be the best thing to do. I cleaned all day and KLT . . . → Read More: teh Rain

battle of the ant nearing an end

Well the situation never really got better, it would seem to be looking like the end is near and then I would wake up to 30 of those little bastards all over the place and they were expanding to areas further away in the kitchen. After a bad day at work on Wednesday I decided it would be wise to run a few errands; Sam’s Club for veggies, Sally’s to return the flat iron, Menards for more/new/different ant traps and Pepe’s for dinner cause that is of course my comfort food. Well I clean up the counter again and place just 1! of those terro traps on the counter. By . . . → Read More: battle of the ant nearing an end

The top 10

A short while back some krannert guy decided that in order to create a better work enviroment and have a team of high performers we needed to rank our employees. While this strategy has worked for many years successfully at many companies success is entirely dependant on implementation. Guess what itap does poorly? Give up? IMPLEMENTATION! Yet again we have implemented something, sucked at it and created more heartache than good.

First our super duper non-elected VP (recenlty changed to exectutive director) decided that the bottom 10% was not enough we need to list our bottom 20% or something stupid like that. But the real problem lies in the . . . → Read More: The top 10

the Ants-update

So I have cleaned the entire kitchen with vinegar as recommended by the www. I have also placed bay leaves around the counter top because apparently they don’t like that smell. TOO bad for them. Now we must wait, it’s been a good hour since I have seen one. 🙂
