It's been a while since I've done this. Just want to get a few things off my chest. A few months ago I became my "own boss". Jennifer quite due to health issues. It's been crazy and bound to get crazier yet when tax time rolls around. :( It IS more money RIGHT NOW, but will it be in the long run?? The thing that sucks is that I have NO backup for when things go wrong. I COULD hire someone, but what kind of mess would that be? In the long run if I ever want to have kids I WILL have to hire someone eventually for when I take time off to have the baby. I'd like to take a year off. That would be nice, but be a permanent stay at home mom? I dunno. I really like having my own money. Plus what would I do once they go to school?? Well, decisions to be made once we get there. On the health front....I FINALLY got into the dermatologist. Test results were ok, no cancer. HOWEVER, it's an atypical mole and he still wants me to get it removed because it COULD turn into melanoma down the road. So remove it and have big scar, or leave it and MAYBE someday get melanoma?? Life likes to throw me curveballs eh? |

I'm going through all my crap and I found Tasha's last test results. I am bawling as I read them and wondering if something I did caused her to have to be put down. Did she eat something in back that I didn't see. Did that guy kick her in the chest (when she accidentally got off her leash and charged their dog)? Not knowing is the worst part and something I don't know if I'll ever get over. :'( After reflecting on this for the last months I realize that if she had been kicked in the chest hard enough to cause that much trauma that it would've shown up on xrays. Still it hurts not knowing why my darling had to go.

The dog was happily sitting outside chewing on a bone most of the afternoon. When he got tired he went to lay in the shade and relax. Then he decided to dig himself a hole in the backyard to lay in. Apparently laying in the grass just wasn't comfortable enough. >:( Good thing we need to reseed it anyways, but it would've been nice if he had behaved himself. |

Who knew playing with a kitties thyroid could send his kidney values out of whack? He's now slightly hypothyroid and his kidney values are too high. Hopefully cutting back on the medication a bit will help. We'll see in two weeks. In other news I got too much sun the last couple days with this crazy MAY-like weather! I have a headache. :(

I had to intercede a "fight" today between the dog and cat. Tommy decided that Collin should not be in his way or in his space, I'm not sure which as I didn't see (only heard) the beginning of the scuffle. Collin wasn't going to be pushed around and proceeded to bark and chase (and yes) try to bite Tom. Collin got "scolded" very loudly and put in his "corner" for a "time out" for part of his punishment. Ok, I screamed at him. It's the ONLY thing that really stops him in his tracks and boy he KNOWS I mean business when I take that tone of voice and he KNOWS he was bad. No matter if the cat started it, he's bigger and needs to learn that biting cats is NOT ok. Today was also kitty vet day. Cats hate going to the vet. Tom is usually ok if it's just him going, but for whatever reason having Tigger there sent him over the edge hissing and growling at everyone. I'm sure he was still a bit stressed from his earlier altercation with the dog as well. He's still a bit grumpy now too and I can't leave the two of them alone for even a minute. I think the cats will have to stay in the basement when I'm at work from now on. I trust Tigger and Collin together, but I can't lock up one and not the other. Litter boxes are in that room. Wish I could kennel the dog instead of locking up the cats (especially since it's him getting on my couch when he knows better) but he hates being crated and just sits in there crying and drooling the whole 3-4 hours I'm gone. Crazy animals. So busy day today. Also brushed the dog, trimmed his nails and then vacuumed the house, did laundry. I'm ready for bed. One more good nights sleep and hopefully I'll feel better cold wise. Yes, the girl that like NEVER gets sick, got sick. I did miss my flu shot this year...Always seems to happen that way. I get flu shot=no sickies. I don't get flu shot=sickies at least once. :( Next year I will not forget and will drag myself there come hell or high water. Or snow, blizzard or just plain busy. ;) I'm going to bed now. Good Night!

Long time no been here. ;) So just some updates. Dog has an "ear infection" as on meds until Sat. Also he's on new medication for his allergies. I've been trying it for a month or so now. It seems good. I also wash his blankets every weekend. It just goes in after the regular laundry. I'm doing a new workout routine: tae bo on Mon, Wed, Fri. Yoga Tues, Thurs. Sat/Sun nothing but housework! :P And all this is after I get home after walking dogs, so I'm getting a lot of exercise! It's all good. :-) Plus Yoga is hard! WAY harder than Pilates. I was doing a different workout routine before but decided to switch it up and I've been doing this for a couple weeks now. I feel like I'm already felling changes. Yup. It's feels good to feel good. Well, that is it for now. Adieu
