All in One Puppy Package

Filed under: General, Puppy |

My poor pathetic puppy is under the knife. null I’m trying to concentrate on work while someone is cutting on my baby. I understand it was my choice to have her spayed, and I believe it is a very good idea to do for pets. While she is down, I am having her AVID microchipped, and rabies vaccinated, and just for good measure I told them to throw in a pawdicure to make her feel better. null

Do you know that they charge extra for pain medicine and it is optional ??!?! No option for my pathetic princess. Can you imagine having your abdomen opened and then someone telling you pain medicine is optional?? It is kind of like doctors believing babies don’t need pain control because they can’t tell you they are hurting. Let’s call it Brain Control!!

Let me translate that from algebra…Five migraines plus one knee replacement plus two schools equals zero blogging.

Monsoon season is a huge challenge for those of us with migraine, even if my doc had done the Botox right, so I have been having almost daily migraines. These are interspersed with daily moderate to severe headaches. I was going nuts and becoming more down and more frustrated each day that I woke up with one. Then, by the mercy of God, Friday afternoon the streak broke and I have been forty-eight hours without a headache. It is sooo wonderful to feel good! (though it is kind of scary to mention it out loud!)

A friend of mine just had total knee replacement so I have been helping him out. If I say “TED hose” will I receive any sympathy??

As, I mentioned before, I started classes at two schools. By signing up for an online algebra class, I thought I was getting into an open-entry/open-exit situation. The school shock continues. My instructor called and asked me if I wanted him to drop me from the class. I asked him, “why,” and he said, “because I had not started the class yet.” When I got the misunderstanding straightened out, I had several hours of getting the school math site loaded, registered, yes paid more money to be able to access it, and figured out where the work was hidden. It was then that I found out I was already past due on two assignments. AARRGHH! I got that worked out with the teacher and spent the next few days catching up on the five assignments I then had due. Yes, I can figure out why the equation above is incorrect, but don’t ask me much beyond that. My weakness is that I like to do things as simply as possible and whoever developed the laws in algebra must have been terribly bored, but that is another story!!

Fortunately my other class has very little homework because I was starting to think I needed my head examined….again!

My patient is much better now, so I return home tomorrow, AND I get my pathetic puppy back. I sure do miss her. My friend that is puppysitting her, just purchased one of her half siblings so I hear they are adorable together. (more pathetic puppy pictures!)
