random ramblings about this that and the other....
so... Marshall, the major conversation piece around me these days, is all vaccinated w/ the h1n1... oh sorry... all this vaccination talk.... ok, he's all vaccinated against parvo distemper and raibies. No Kujo diseases for this little guy at this time. The vet TT recommended, he is really nice... very good vibes I got off of him! And so much less stress due to the fact that I would have had to find money for cab fare etc... blablabla... He did really good today, I was very proud of him, I didn't notice any accidents, and he held his water for almost 10 hours and really had to pee when we got home!! He's getting pretty good around the house, still except when I leave the room to go about my other daily stuff, he still whines, barks, howls, squeaks and whistles etc.... but I'm sure he'll get over that sooner or later. I'm very happy with how he's going along. It's just a matter of getting into a routine with stuff. Currently Shannon is playing tug with him, so I hope that this will tire him out a bit... *grin*... although he did sleep right thru from 10:30 til 5... so yay to sleep!!! :)
Ok, on a totally other topic.... V!!!!!! The new Retelling of the Visitors series from when I was a kid.... my first impression, is that it went way... too.. fast!! The hour just zoomed by!! I was clammering for more by the end and found myself just waiting for next weeks little clip thingie. Shannon is relived, since he's finally able to talk about this. He's had this on his plate since July at Comicon, but now we can all talk about it, so life is good. I don't wanna say anything for those who might not have seen it, no spoilers.. I'm just really excited to see how this turns out!! Yay V!! Let's hope this goes better than the reboot of my other childhood favourite, Knight Rider.
Puppy classes are to start soon for Marshall as soon as I find his damn proof of payment to enroll him in class... stupid... I talked to the lady who even did the adoption, she remembers me and has a copy of the signed adoption thing... but oh no, why oh why can I not enroll in the class... now I guess I gotta wait til I can get the visa statement print the damn thing off, and then go from there... sheesh... Shannon said it's in the folder of all Marshall's stuff, but I can only find 2 of the 3 recipts.... blah!
So, that's about all I know about this and that for now....
No, I haven't posted any pictures of mister Marshall yet... part of that is because, for some time, there were times in my heart where I wasn't sure if I even wanted to keep Marshall.... I was all worried and anxious and wasn't sure if I could even give him the things that he needed... worrying about if I could walk him or watch the things he might or might not be getting into... you know, the paranoid mum thing maybe a bit overbord if I must say. I have just recently started to relax and realise that he is just a puppy and he'll eventually get into things.... he'll eventually grow out of it, but I'll tell ya man, this Is one experience I don't want to do over again... this puppy raising is a bitch... I have soooooo much respect for the people that raised the puppies for future guide dogs. I was truly spoiled and got a well trained dog already.... but this way I can train him to my expectations. It may seem cruel now, but in the long run it will be worth it. He'll be a happy and well socialized dog :)
so, once things calm down a little more for me, I will eventually post some of the pictures I have. I guess in my heart I gotta except that he will truly be a member of the family....
On another note... things seem (knock on wood) to be looking up healthwise also... I'm up to my one year anaul visit for the cpap machine... and an anual visit to the foot clinic... and this shit with the window is 99 pecent overwith. All we need to do according to the city is just have the window "flashed" or something... I'm not too sure what that is in building terms.... so this will be done in the spring probably at the same time that we decide to fence the whole perimiter of our yard. Shannon wants to take out all the grass out front and make a zen garden..... let's see how much the landscaping will set us back next year.... (wondering if I shouldn't just take some of my shares and cash them in to get these renos done around here....
Another note, I can't wait til Marshall grows tall enough to *not!* go under the chairs at the table, right now he seems to be happy knawing at the chairleg, which he won't do too much dammage to since it's metal *grin*.... but I still don't like when he's under there, too close to the power cords for me... he's really into getting into google's face and one day she'll swat him one... he'll learn his lesson soon methinks...
Ok, are you bored listening to me talk about MarshallMellow yet? I'm sorry... he's just too damn cute though :0) I'll shut up and actually go watch corrie now....
Love to you all!! xoxooxxs and to those of you who are going to U2, I'm jealous!!! Have fun you loooozers!! :)
