All Buttered Up

Originally posted 2023-05-05 10:00:00. Yesterday was one of those days that you just want it to hurry up and be over. I took Chewy out so many times I ended up with over 10,000 steps being accumulated. I knew he needed to poop but every time I took him out something distracted him and then he seemed to forget he had to poop. Was yesterday a full moon or something? Or was it something in…

Late reaction

Originally posted 2020-02-06 08:00:00. Yeah, this could have turned out so different lol. I get up yesterday morning like any other morning. The exception, the dogs groomer would be here in a few minutes. I go outside to move my car and pull it behind my truck. The groomers mobile vehicle isn’t a small vehicle so I wanted to give her the room in the driveway. Since my husband didn’t get home from work until…

Second post surgery update

Originally posted 2020-02-03 08:00:53. I am almost 3 weeks post surgery! YAY! Now I am almost halfway through the “not able to drive” stage. I feel like a hobbit, lol. I did go with my husband to the grocery store yesterday just so I could get out of the house some. My doctor’s office called Friday to check up on me. I have constant pain throughout my body so not feeling pain is kind of…

Week #1

Originally posted 2023-05-01 10:46:29. Well we have survived week one. Not without mishaps I might add but a successful week nonetheless. Chewy just wants to stay outside for a little while but he can’t lol. Since it is a comfortable temperature as of this post I decided to crack open the windows and let him feel like he is somewhat outside. Chewy’s leg is starting to look a little better as far as the swelling…

Chewy Day…

Originally posted 2023-04-27 09:33:48. Your purchases help us take care of Chewy and everything that comes with this surgery. We knew his ACL was torn but not a full tear nor did we know anything about his meniscus tear. It is funny because if you recall my husband had a meniscus tear and they had to take out over half of his meniscus. Now Chewy had to have half of his meniscus taken out just…

And I can’t ask Why me?

Originally posted 2014-06-30 01:51:25. You know that age old saying, don’t ask why me? Well at least that is what I believed …that was something you just didn’t do. Even if you went through a crap ton of stuff you just didn’t ask why me. I don’t know about you but sometimes I sit back in my head (somewhere in that mass of echoing space that I call my mind) and still wonder why it…

No CPR?

Originally posted 2023-04-24 10:43:11. I dropped Chewy off this morning for his ACL surgery. I have never had someone ask me if they have any problems during surgery did we want them to attempt CPR. Uhhhh. There are people that say no? I mean, the money you are spending to get the dog’s leg fixed and then you don’t want to attempt CPR? I mean, God forbit anything like that happens but yes, by all…

Making some progress

Originally posted 2020-01-27 17:09:32. It’s now been a couple of weeks since my back surgery. I have definitely made some progress but not as much as I’d like. Sometimes my own pride and determination get in the way and I do too much. Like today, I was looking for some of my replacement parts for my irobot vacuum and know I had them somewhere. So, I started moving this and that. Putting this here and…
