Stupid, stupid neighbors!

I'll give more details on the crappy situation they've put us in later, but suffice it to say I can't stand my neighbors. Remember the ones whose dog jumped MY fence, came into MY yard, and attacked MY foster dog? Yeah those ones. They're now trying to say that they shouldn't have to pay for the vet bill because "We're getting rid of the dog."
So apparently, if I shot one of their kids and then got rid of the gun, I shouldn't have any consequences? I seriously can't stand people right now. ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRG!

Howie's Home!

Well, back to us at least. He hasn't been adopted yet so no "home" for him yet. He was thin to begin with but now he's even thinner because he didn't eat at the vet for two days. He's gaggy and coughy because of the huge seroma (a fluid filled lump the doctor says will go away on its own) on his throat. But overall, he seem pretty happy to be back. He's curled up next to me under a blanket right now. He's such a sweetie. Thanks for all the well wishes.

Also, today I am going to see Twilight with my mom and little sister. Yes, we are all in love with a fictional story and fictional characters. I'm trying to keep an open mind about the movie. I know that there is no way that it's going to be anywhere close to as good as the book. And they're probably going to change things around and omit stuff that I think needs to be in there. But, I am hoping that I still enjoy the movie. It's been awhile since I read it so at least all of the details aren't completely fresh in my mind.

Have any of you seen the movie? Like, love it, hate it? Have you read the books? Are you as in love as I am? Haha! Have a great Sunday everyone!

A long overdue update.

First and foremost, I am officially in my second trimester. Hooray!!! Now I just have to hope that everything is progressing normally in there. My next doctor's appointment is on Dec 4th so I'll have to wait it out. ::sigh::

In other not so great news, our foster pug Howie was attacked last night. The people in the house behind us have two bigs dogs and one jumped over the fence and got Howie. Luckily, Mike ran outside as soon as he heard the disturbance and got the dogs inside (Chiisai didn't get touched). He called me, I called the pug rescue, and I got him to the vet ASAP. They kept him overnight and are still keeping him tonight. He's not eating, he's running a fever, and he has fluids filling up his neck where he got bit. The vet has him on IV antibiotics and won't let him come home until the fever breaks and he's eating (completely understandable).

I know there's nothing that we could have done to prevent it, but I still feel horrible. I'm really hoping that he pulls through this. I don't know how I could handle losing another pug after what happened with Yoda. Please keep little Howie in your thoughts.

Howie

We have a new foster. I know, it's been a long time right? I just picked him up from the vet. He's all caught up on shots and got neutered. Now he's wandering around my upstairs looking sad and forlorn. Seriously, one of the most pitiful pug faces I've ever seen. If I could find my camera I would so post a picture. But he's absolutely adorable.

I don't know what his story is. But, it looks like his previous owners didn't take very good care of him. He's soooooo thin. I can see all his ribs and his hip bones. It's very sad. I can see that with good nutrution and love though, he'll be an amazing looking pug. For now he's wandering with his tail down low and his back end tucked under as if he's afraid he's going to get hit. Sometimes people make me so mad. Why get a pet if you're not going to treat it as a family member?! Arg!

Anyways, that's it for now. I'll try to post pics ASAP.

quick note

Sorry it's been a few days. I'm up here in Washington State visiting friends and getting my baby fix. I'll update with a full story when we get home.

Other updates: Reynee is being adopted (or may possibly already be with her new forever family), I got my stupid insulin done but haven't heard back the results, and it's cd27 and I'm at low (finally) on the CBEFM. Yet another month down the drain.

Oh, and I found out that "U-Dub" has a library masters. Now I've just got to look into it and see if it's a good fit for me (and if it's even a possibility for me to get in).

It's a sickness I tell ya

So, I tracked down the next two Janet Evanovich books yesterday. I'm finished with them already. I'm telling you, someone needs to talk me down. This is kinda scary. Anyone? Anyone?

Ok, then I know where I can score the next two. I'm sure by Sunday I'll be tracking down 11-14. *sigh* At least it's something healthy, right?

In actual news worthy news (well, in my little life) Reynee will probably be adopted tomorrow. Thank goodness! As cute as she is and as much as she has endeared herself to me and Chiisai, I'm tired of her peeing on things. Any time that I take a shower, I come out and something is peed on. Not just the carpet either. She has to pee on things like blankets, pillows, clothes left on the floor,... Today I put her in her crate while I took a shower just so that I wouldn't have to worry about cleaning up. Chiisai looked at me like I was evil. I came out and he was laying in front of her crate and looking at me with eyes that said I'd betrayed him. WTH dog?! I didn't put YOU in a crate. He's definitely going to miss her. And really, with a face like this...

...who wouldn't?

Fertility news cd17=high still on CBEFM. Provera continues.

Another foster

She's so super cute!! Her name is Reynee (pronounced like "rainy") and she has so much love and energy. I am afraid that if she doesn't get adopted soon, I'll want to keep her. Chiisai immediately took to her and they have been playing and running around all morning. I mean, look at this cute face -



Alright, now I'm off to clean my house. I was appalled yesterday when I realized that there were very few spaces in my house that we clean enough to be a background for pictures of Reynee. Sad, sad. That's what happens when it's summer break and I decide that I'm taking a vaction from all responsibilities. But now my week off is over and I need to clean. Wish me luck.

The diva has arrived

So, this has been keeping me busy lately.

Her name is Ebony and she is available for adoption at through the Southern Nevada Pug Rescue. This is the same place we got our wonderful Chiisai from and we're fostering Ebony for them. She really is very sweet but the period of adjustment has been hard on all of us. Considering that she's 8 years old (senior citizen in dog years) she is a bundle of energy. Holy cow this girl goes nonstop! The first thing she does when I let her out of her crate in the morning is grab a toy and start walking in circles. Then, she'll stare at her tail for a few moments then, ZOOOOOM, the chasing commences. It's insane. Her tail must really piss her off to no end. She's a little diva and refuses to go up or down stairs. We have to carry her outside so she'll go potty. But, her face is just so dang cute...

Who could say no to that?! Hopefully, someone will want to adopt her soon before I get disowned by my entire household for bringing this diva in. :)

On a side note, just so you're aware, there are only 2 and a half days left of school. (Not that I'm counting or anything. ) :)

Later-

Kate
