soulland humpday-te

howdy peeps---


just a quick update on a few things around here---

soulkid---

she's better today-- in fact-- after her little episode in the morning.. and a few more hours of sleep-- she was fine the rest of the day--- had to have been dinner the night before. which was? chinese delivery = sweet and sour chicken. never again.

note to self : GROCERY SHOP- TODAY, SOUL; YOU LAZY SLOB !

sushi- also better. late in the day yesterday, she began acting a bit like her normal assinine self.
not 100 percent, but she's gettin there. she IS in heat. i knew it. just somehow knew it. maybe she just had cramps? do dogs get cramps????? this is at least her third heat cycle. she has never once acted so out of it. i don't know what her deal was. i still really think she was mistreated in some way. we will never take her back to that kennel, just in case. i know something happened. i wish i knew what. i am wondering if maybe they put her out in the yard to potty with other dogs, and maybe she "mated"??? that could surely throw off her mood. ya think??? if i end up with little mutt puppies as her first and only litter, i will be quite upset. as i had planned on breeding her only one time before fixing her-- if that. i'm still not sure if i want her to have a litter or not. i don't know if she has the sense to raise pups. :))
but anyhow-- yep-- she is getin better-- playin with the cats, us, eating, runnin, jumping, much better-- and we feel LOTS better about that too.

now i am trying to decide if i should attempt doggie diapers-- i really don't think she would wear one without ripping it to shreds in the first thirty seconds.. so i may just be doing a LOT of laundry this next week. :((

ok.. what else??
oh EEVIE-- of course. soulmans new wife. :))
y'all know i'm kiddin when i say that. it's just that he has had dogs like this before .. and he really puts ALOT of himself and his time and energy into them. and .. well.. he gets very overprotective of them. truly like they are a infant. dogs like this are very valuable-- not only financially-- but in this case it could turn into a legal issue as well.

the thing with this particular dog---
she is some kinda very special dog-- i mean her pups sell for ALOT... and they are basically ALREADY sold... and she isn't even pregnant! nor is the daddy dog chosen yet! that's how well known this dog is in the dog world. her pedigree is like GOLD to these trainers.

so anyways...
hubby "somehow, someway.... found this "something".. deal? situation? hell if i know... online somewhere.... where he would get this dog as a "co-ownership--- BUT, his end of the bargain is to breed her-- basically--- through artificial insemination by a dog of the "owners" choosing... then he /we.. will raise and "welp, the pups... then ship--at "owners cost.. the pups back to the "owner" at about ten weeks of age... keeping "pick of the litter"-- if we want-- or "a fee", if we don't... and we then keep eevie-- get her spayed.. at "owners " cost..... we --- or hubby--whichever--- also gets to keep some money for each "surviving pup" that gets shipped back to "owner". cuz well, sometimes a pup will die.. but it is rare.

the "owner" will pay ALL vet bills, not related to negligence on our part-- like if a cat scratches her eyes out--- or if she breaks a leg..etc.. but if somethin like that happens-- they have the right to REPO the dog.
they in fact have the right to take the dog back at any time.. for any reason. which is the catch all-- that bothers me.
the dog is our dog-- but it's kinda not at the same time. very weird. i have never heard of co-owning a dog before in my life-- but i guess it happens, and is common...
but apparently---other people end up paying a lot of money to do it--- and don't GET a lot of money for the pups etc.
soooo... hubby stumbled onto something really good actually--- as long as they don't decide they miss the dog and take her back.

my only fear? or two?
1)- something happening to the dog-- and getting sued some outrageous amount of money--and losing the dog
2) getting attached to the dog --and them taking her back.
3) soulkid is already worried about getting attached to the pups- and getting rid of them... that part i know whe can handle though-- she's done it with cats before--- but the thing about that is she always kept a kitty :(( BUT--- i have a very very strong-- and uneasy -- feeling-- that hubby just will not be able to pass up "pick of the litter" on a "famous" champion dog.
so-- i may not need to worry about that really... cuz i actually think we will end up keeping a pup.
therefore , in a few months... not sure about dogs--- 6-8 months??? hell i don't know-- but i think we will be a THREE dog family again. just kill me NOW.


ok... what else?

apparently nuthin....

well.. it doesn't sound like it's raining-- at the moment--- but it is cool enough to have the heat on. so i don't know what i will be doin today.

i know what i want and need to do though---

i MUST get my hair cut before i die---

oh yes, and i do have my follow up appt with the neuro-- for the seizure-- and am HOPING i get some kinda clearance to legally drive again!!! (hubby is going, but has to work afterwards)

then... i really really have to go to wally hell. if food poisoning doesn't kill us.. the price of eating out will. so i gotta get food in here and start cooking again.

(see that jlee? if we're doin lunch,
let's do it soon...cuz i really am gettin sick of goin out to eat!!!)

and i spose that is about it-- aside from a few errands.....


hope y'all have great days in your worlds.....

i'll try---

Happy, Happy Wednesday to you! It sounds like you def. need to get out and get some stuff done--but how the heck are ya sposed to do that if you can't drive?? I hope you get some good answers on that front! I know how crazy it makes a person, to not be able to grab the keys off the hook and go wherever you want--even if it is the freaking grocery store. :)

SOUL said...

i hear ya fostah---
i had really planned on taking care of some things yesterday--legally, or not-- but we had a damn typhoon!!! so i didn't go out. hell.... i didn't even get dressed!!! shhhhh. yep one of those days. :((

anyhow---- i hope the storm is over-- it was awful yesterday. we didn't get hit as bad as many others though--so that much is good. selfishly so, i guess.

anyhow---- how ya doin????
is it warming up out there??
happy humpday!

Ola Bozo,

We had our typhoon last night after dark. But I could see the water running down the entire road ,like a mini river.

that is the craziest thing I ever heard about the dog. (eevie)
Sounds risky to me. * shudder*

I don't think dogs get cramps..that curse was for women. lol
Thanks Eve. :)

But I recall the fun of having a dog in heat around. eww.
only mine was way bigger than Sushi.

If you try the doggie diapers..take a picture. I crack up just thinking about it.

go to the store ,you laze!!

luv me

Mary said...

I don't envy you the dog situation. It sounds like a nightmare. Almost like taking care of someone else's kids and not having control. Bless your heart, you're in for a ride on this one.

I'm glad to hear Sushi is acting more normal. She probably didn't have a good weekend.

It's raining cats and dogs here this morning - a dark gray day. Good sleeping weather, but who has time to do that?

Jamie said...

So, now I understand a bit better about the dog, thank you for clearing up a lot of questions that I had. It will be interesting, and probably a pain in the butt, but you know you will love it and the puppies. :)

I'm happy to see that Sushit is better, and I have never had a dog in heat, I have always had them fixed first, so I don't know, but I'm with Smocha, if you do buy the diapers, take a picture. :)

I have my fingers crossed for good news this morning at the dr, and a DL that is legal. I am waiting to hear. :)

xo

i came and caught up on your posts last night but i must have zonked before i got done because i see i didn't comment yet. it's so goooooooood to know you got your time away and are back, safe and sound. i wish it had all gone a ittle smoother for you, but hey at least you got away for a few. evidently perfection IS too much to ask for. wtf, i know. i'm glad soulkid is feeling better. sucks that it was the chinese food, sweet and sour chicken is my favorite, but there's surely nothing to turn you off a meal like seeing it in reverse:o the new dog sounds exciting, but i don't know if i could jive with that whole co ownership thing. i just hope it all works out for you guys all round. hopefully you'll grow your family and make a lil cash in the process:) i hope the appointments and shopping go well today, or at least it all goes by fast.
i know! drive the batmobile! who's gonna pull that thing over?
:)
keeping fingers and toes crossed about the DL:)
happy pudhamy:D

Happy Wednesday! Half way through the work week!

Hope your weather holds, word of some nasty stuff in Texas made in onto our news cast.

And what's with the dog sitch? You are going to co-own, then outright own a breeder? Then get to keep a pup? Would you continue to breed the bitch or call her done? Some money to be made in that... If you keep a male pup of a champ, you can get some good stud fees, no? Just sayin. Glad Sushi is doing well. You should probably spay her sooner rather than later. Too many heat cycles with no pups isn't good for an animal, or so I've heard. But what do I know, I have a cat family. All spayed/neutered, all indoor.

ola smocha--

flooding was real bad out here too-- our area didn't get that much tho-- but the wind was pretty bad.
when we went to the dr. we saw concrete benches and entire sections of fences knocked over, etc.
i'm surprised our rotted fence wasn't destroyed.

ummm.. yep-- sounds risky to me too. but too late to do anything about it now. hubby is on his way to pick her up right this second. i just hope it all works out like it's sposed to. we shall see.

apparently dogs DO get cramps ! so, whaddayaknow. i asked a vet while we were out today-- we went in to get a collar and some other stuff.. and i was askin them about their boarding, and mentioned sushi etc.... and she said
"dogs go through what a woman goes through; so she was probably just in a funk!"
she also mentioned that there were prolly ALOT of dogs there .. she said their usual 30 was booked to like 90, or 60 or some crazy high number.
soooo.... she prolly really was , well.. pms'n.
lil bitch. :))

anyhow-- happy humpday-

SOUL said...

hi mary---

i know.. i just hope it works out--it could be pretty cool if it goes in the right direction. ya know?

me too, glad sushi and the kid are better.

looks like y'all got our rain...we still have the wind tho--and you know how much i love THAT-

stay dry-- i hope your day is good.

SOUL said...

hi jamie--

i haven't been around a litter of pups in ages-- i think it will be fun.
i also am very very grateful that their room is on the other side of the house from my room! :))
i can hear it already on these floors-- their nails, their whining and barking.. omg.
but-- it'll be cute.
we're gonna have puppies. :)) awwwww


i looked for doggy diapers at the vet place today-- they didn't have any small female ones-- i woulda got some-- but i won't be going out of my way to find any. so prolly no pix. if i do end up with some i will take pix. but i doubt it will happen..only for her to rip it off. ya know.

and well, about the driving..you already know. soooooo. hmmmm. shit.

anyhow----
have a good day

SOUL said...

heya P

wussup---
sorry to have ruined your sweet n sour chicken, by the visual of chinese in reverse-- :))

eevie will be here in less than an hour-- so we shall see how it goes from here--
you know, y'all are gonna be a huge part of her experience too right? you gotta let me vent here- and keep me sane.. :)) lest i put her on "plotz" and keep her there till she has her babies :))
(google that-- plotz) :))
ever talk to a dog in german? :)) it's actually quite amusing-- ok... watching ME talk to a dog in german is amusing. :))

anyhow-- i hope you're having a good day today

guess what-- it's almost
RADIFYYYYYYYY!!!!!
nanananananana

SOUL said...

hey R
how goes it?

nope-- eevie will only be bred one time then spayed.

we will either keep a pup--or get a fee... then keep eevie. (send the pups back to owner)

supposedly the only way we would "lose" eevie, would be due to negligence-- which would never happen. we treat animals like kids. almost to a mental extent. they're part of the family and they know it.

as for sushi-- yep-- this will be it for her-- they charge extra to fix them while in heat-- so if we don't--and i doubt we will-- breed her this time -- we'll have her fixed pretty soon.

the cats are fixed.

and hey-- so am i -- :))
happy humpday!
