Oh for the love of pup's

Oh what a day I had. I've had some rough days since B left. But none (in my opinion) was more tasking than today.

This morning I wake up (before my alarm mind you) to my poor baby whimpering and whining. So I call for him to get up on the bed. I still have my eyes closed because I have another 10 min before my alarm goes off. I love my sleep, if I don't have to open my eyes, its not happening. My poor little guy tried to get up on the bed 4 times, before he jumped, failed, and yelps in pain. :(

So I pick him up, I talk to him (yeah, I'm pet that owner), and he was so sad looking.
I had a class today, which I had planned on skipping to take Sammy to the vet. But when I looked up the class calendar I saw I had a quiz. Well... fuck. I can't leave him alone. And I can't miss my class.

whats a girl to do!?! I call and wake up my daddy. hahahahahaha.

I told him what was going on and asked if he could watch SamJam for me. Of course he says yes.
On my way to campus, I called and made him an appointment at the vet @1230.

I went to class, took my quiz, and ducked out early to go pick up Sammy. When I got to my parents house he was just fine. my dad made him jump onto the Life-Force-Stealing Chair, and he was fine(this is when I think he over did it) but i took my dad's advice and called the vet and canceled my appointment.

I took him home. I let him down and out of the car, let him walk in the grass... then it became time to climb the stairs to our apartment. he made it about 2 steps before he stopped and cried.
So I carried him upstairs called the vet back, and told them I was bringing him in.

1230 rolls around and I take him in. I'm sitting in the vet room, and reading. Sam's curled up in my lap. The vet comes in and checks him out, there is seriously nothing physically wrong with him. I could have told you that (and i did tell her that). I looked him over, poked, pushed, prodded him before I even left for class. We talked over the options, and with her suggestions and the fact that I have drill this weekend, I decided to hand Sams over to her and let her do her tests.

4 hours later, I go to pick him up and talk to her about the results. It all looked "pretty normal" to use her words. He had "crystals" in his UA slides. And was walking normal. his blood work is normal.

Her diagnosis is that he's having some back issues. Which is really REALLY common in doxies.

So now he's on anti-inflammatory pills and is on strict kennel only instructions all weekends. I called my dad (they're babysitting him while I have drill) and told him to put up "The Cage". its a larger kennel that used to hold both my dad's doxies (with room to spare). I'll have to take pictures of him when I drop him off. Its a lot of room for him to walk around in. Yet, not enough space to hurt himself.

the vet said no: running, jumping, climbing, rough housing with other dog, no playing, no going up or down stairs, etc. Basically he's grounded to his kennel other than when my dad takes him out (carries him) to go potty.

Hopefully he's better when i get home Sunday night. everyone say a puppy prayer today.

Sammy Says

He's ready for Thanksgiving

He's So Vogue
and that he doesn't like playing dress up as much as mommy does! hahaha

.... and he's done. hahahaha

Adventures in my house...

So after getting home a little later than normal, my loving husband made us dinner. It was simple but so good.

Then Sammy (our dog) starts whining and so B looks to give him some food. Well his container was empty. So he goes to refill the little container from the big bag of food. We buy Sammy's food in bulk because its cheaper.

so I hear a few food pellets hit the floor, which is normal. then all of a sudden, i hear "aw crap" and suddenly i hear a freaking down pour of food pellets all over the kitchen. I jump off the couch and rushed to the kitchen and laughed my ass off. So after I'm done laughing i hear B say "i need a beer". and then i laugh harder. In the midst of my laughter i grab my camera because this is just to good to not share. This is what i find:now, i know we have a small kitchen but holy moly batman
so here goes my amazing husband, scooting the food around because the broom is 'to dirty' for the dogs food.
and the end pile-o-food!!
Yep, the pile of food really is as big as my little dog. hahahahaha. only my in our house could something this silly happen.

No Matter What

No matter how foul of a mood i want to be in...
No matter how much shit i have to put up with...
No matter how crappy i feel...
No matter how shity of a day i had...

None of it matters.

I will be home home in less than 2 weeks.

I will be home with the love of my life
I will be home with my four legged baby
I will be home in my bed.
I will be home!!
