I'm sorry, Zack. :(

Teh Sam and I started obedience classes tonight. He's long overdue, but when I was fostering, and especially after I got Hobie, I've never really had the time. Or made the time. I'm making it now, though, because he needs it, but also because I wanted to do something with just Sam, one night a week that is his special adventure night (which is ( Read more... )

Fair warning: it's been a long time since I've blogged regularly, thus I have a lot to get off my chest. I have hardly been writing in my real journal, either, so the need to purge myself of thoughts has come to a head, and as I've been out of contact with many of you (if "many of you" actually check this thing for updates anymore), I'm going to ( Read more... )

Though the internet did quit me for the last three weeks- more specifically the power adapter for my laptop died, and Gateway and I were in a fight until they sent me a new one. I'm back online now, but there has been so much going on in my life these past two or three months it's unlikely I'll be online nearly as much as I used to be ( Read more... )

My results are back, and it is benign. A fibroid adenoma. I'll be talking to my doctor later this week to see whether she advises taking it out anyway, but the horror of waiting is over ( Read more... )

Last Thursday, during my yearly checkup, my doctor found a lump in my breast. She told me not to worry, it was probably just a fibroidal cyst. These are not uncommon, two of the three other women who work in my office get them, and they are harmless. She scheduled me for a breast ultrasound this morning. I was worried, but not too much. The one ( Read more... )

You know how in some browsers (Firefox, at least), when you start typing in certain fields, you get this drop down list of things you have previously typed in similar fields? Such as, when my cursor is in the subject field for this blog I get this drop down list of all the blog titles I've used so far. But I also get a lot of other random things I ( Read more... )

Tomorrow Jill and Clay head out to Florida for a week. What this means for me is that, in addition to my own two dogs and three cats, I am fully responsible for her three hounds, cat, five chickens, two rabbits, and a fish. Oh, and several vegetable gardens and flower beds I am supposed to keep alive ( Read more... )

So Sam the Fluffy and Sadie 'Hatespider' Pants made their debuts at Bark to the Park this morning, accompanied by Amy and myself. True to theirselves, Sam attempted to make friends with every dog there (I'd say around 400 or so?) by sticking his big melon head up in their face, and then bouncing around, chest low to the ground and front arms ( Read more... )

In bed with the flu (or something similar) for three days. I've gone to work both yesterday and today only to be steered right back out the door and told to go home again- I did not protest. I always forget that laying up on the couch all day is still no fun if you feel miserable. I get sick so much lately ( Read more... )
