tuesday stuff

hi folks--

haven't quite made it through blogland yet-- i'll get there in a few-- just wanted to get a little post up first.


finally HOME. funnay how just a few days away can seem like so much longer sometimes. it really feels like i've been away for a week, at least.


we picked up sushi from the kennel... she seemed really strange right away. she has been there several times before, and we have never had a problem. they call her "the screamer".. because she barkes.. ALOT. like constantly. so they keep her in the bathroom. to keep her calmer. seems to have always worked out ok. we pick her up-- and she is always thrilled to see us-- always her hyper, jumping, happy, crazy , sushi self. well... yesterday-- she was mellow, and quiet, almost skiddish, or scared.. she almost acted like she didn't even know me. it even crossed my mind that i had the wrong dog.. and the funny thing about that? soulkid said the same thing!
that is how odd she was acting.
another strange thing? soulman dropped some potato chips on the floor "our sushi" would have been on those chips in half a heart beat---- we had to point them out to her, and put her on the floor before she saw them, and even then, she acted like she wasn't sure she wanted to eat them... this is the dog that will snatch a dropped jalepeno off the floor and RUN into her crate with it before ya can take it from her!!! she's just acting sick-- or weird. maybe like they hurt her-- or did somethin to her. i don't know. i do think she is in heat-- or close to it. but that doesn't usually make her act this way. if she doesn't get better later or by tomorrow though-- i will have to take her to the doggy doc. i don't like this..at all.

so anyhow-- speakin of sushi--a little while ago-- i was writin this post-- and i heard her nails in the hall-- along with gagging noises-- so-- i think she's puking-- i'm like OH SHIT! she's sicker than i though-- it's parvo ! i jump up-- and go into the hall.. and what do i see???
soulkid! standin oin the hallway.. sushi at her feet--- near a puddle of barf.... and it's soulkid who is puking !!! lovely !!!
so-- i grab some towels.. and help her out. get her a bath runnin etc.
she doesn't have a fever-- so my guess is food poisoning-- we haven't had home cooked food for at least a full week.. who the hell knows what she ate that might have been bad. great. just perfect.
sick kid.. sick dog.
wth????

soooo--- to top that off--- i have a million things to do-- one of them being to get food in this damn house-- next being a haircut-- i look like damn BOZO -- for real-- my hair is gonna kill me !! but it's raining terrible outside-- so i just may not even leave-- and prollly shouldnt with a sick kid anyhow-

sooooo

that's MY mornin..
how's YOURS??

oh .. i almost forgot....
today is also the day hubby delivers his baby.

oh i mean.. gets his dog... :))

yep. i already know my new position in the family.
as of today, my whole world will change. i told him i felt that way-- he says it's not true-- but i already saw a bit of the truth in that last night--- and so did he. he didn't realize it til i called him out on it when he said something... but really, it's true. just watch and wait. you think i bitch alot now? just wait til a dog runs my life. :))

ugh.
well..
i hope you all have a great day today--

i'm not too sure about mine---
yet again.

Poor Soulkid - just home from a big weekend and she's sick. Have you checked on the other girl? They probably ate the same stuff so that should let you know if it's food related. Soulkid, I hope you feel better sooner than soon.

Kennels are a good place for dogs to pick up crud. Even though you said that you weren't sure this is the same dog, I hope that was just a way of saying she's acting strange. Sounds like she wasn't treated well. Bless her heart, she can't talk to tell you about it. She's a beautiful little dog.

New dog. Well what can I say about that. It will take a few days to blend her/him into the mix, but maybe it'll be easier than you expect.

I'd love to open the door and find you there with Jamie in tow.

Hey Soul, Umm, all your soulnames confuse me a little. You are soul, right? Well, I'm catching up on you since I got back from AZ and I was wondering about that jalepeno thing. My dog LOVES the smell of jalepenos but I'm afraid to give her one. The vet said it might scare her away from her love of veggies. What do you think? does your dog really love them?

hi bonnie--
i hope you had a GREAT trip to AZ---
as much as i despise the desert-- AZ is actually very pretty to me.
i do have severe issues with NM though-- as you will see if you hang around long enough :))

anyhow-- my cast of characters here =

soul= ME

soulman = hubby

soulkid = my daughter = she's 14 as of march 9

sushi is my min pin dog
she has issues-

(if i mention midnight-- she is my black lab-- we had her for almost 13 years or so-- but just a couple months ago- january 21st-- we had to put her to sleep. :(( she was like my child..it was very hard on us.)

then we have our cats-

jitterbug and spot--
they are sisters-- from two separate litters.

and we have a new dog-- a belgian melenois- her name is eevee-- and very much soulmans dog-- thank God--- i am done with pets. no more for me. not after midnight-- i'm so not ready.


and as for sushi and her jalepinos-- yep-- she does like them..she actually eats them. and they haven't caused any probs.. like vomit -- or otherwise.
so if i were you-- i would just experiment-- a small small piece-- if it tolerates it ok then i don't see any harm it. i have never seen it on the bad food list-- like chocolate, raisins, etc.

anyhow-- there is worse they can get into than a hot pepper...

happy humpday!
