Thankful

Today was a good day… we started the day by packing up the puppies and heading out to Lake Macbride park… (see picture below) Jason ran 20 miles while I walked… as he passed me on the path we would switch puppies… it was fun.. but wow, 3 hours of walking… I am tired…

Then we were lazy around the house… napped, watched and played (Wii) football…

Then we went to a buffet at Iowa River Power Company… the food was good and there was lots of it… now it is time to sit around and do nothing! :)

Happy Thanksgiving

Sick

This makes me sick… and some of the comments make me even sicker! (Oldest comments are on the last page and go forward to get to the most recent ones…)

11 years…

11 years ago Jason and I started dating… we were 15 at the time… Crazy, who would have thunk it!

Today is the day before Thanksgiving… Jason is going to make pancakes for breakfast, yummy. Yesterday we celebrated Penny’s 3rd birthday with trips to the locally owned dog stores… Feeny is fully recovered… Life is good.

The Christmas Wish List…

Here is my Christmas list for any/all who are interested…

When it rains, it pours…

So we finally have a dry basement and hot water. Lots of vaccuuming hours and a dehumidifier solved the problem well…

But…

Yesterday around 4:30 pm, Feeny comes upstairs and trickles a little blood onto the dogs pillows… I quickly call our vet, they say drop him off in the morning… I then make the mistake of hitting the internet, it says that if your male cat is peeing blood it is proably a urinary tract infection, and that in male cats there is often crystals that cause a blockage which can lead to kidney failure and death within 24 hours… well since we had been out of town for 5 days I wasn’t sure how long he had been not feeling well and started to panick… I called my vet back and they said they couldn’t see him that night since they were closing but they gave me the number of the emergency vet they recommend… So we take him there, they do an ultrasound and don’t see any crystals but they can’t get a urine sample because his penis is too small to put a catheter in (we won’t tell him that, and I am sure I will get some interesting spam/google searches on this post)… So they said he would be fine for the night and we could take him to our vet tomorrow and they put him on antibiotics… So today I drop him off at our vet (at 7:30am) it took them until 3pm to get a urine sample… they said there was some bacteria but everything else looks good… they gave him antinflamatories to help his bladder feel better and said he could go home…

So $350 later we have a crabby 25lb cat that I just had to give a pill to, with Jason’s help… I’m glad he is ok and glad we had the spare money this month… although I think family will just have to expect hugs from Feeny for Christmas since he just used a nice hunk of spending money :)
