PUPPIES! THE PUPPIES ARE FINALLY HERE!!!


That's right! The puppies are finally here. They started their arrival at 4:30 this morning. I had just gotten home and to sleep after my bar job when she had the first one. So much for any sleep! We now have 7 alive pups and only 1 that didn't make it.


If you know of any good homes that will be in need of a puppy in about 8 weeks, let me know. They are a mixed breed, boxer & hound for certain and not quite such yet what the daddy is.

This post might be TMI for some readers. You can stop reading at anytime and you will not offend me. Just a little warning before you start reading.

All I've been doing for the past few days is sneeze & blow my nose. I am so tired of sneezing and blowing my nose, my nose is tired of my blowing it. It just doesn't enjoy a good blow job apparently. At least I still have my sense of humor. This head cold is draining the life out of me. I literally fell alseep yesterday at work, while I was on the phone! Nothing like taking a little snooze while the car dealership has you on hold. I had my head propped on the phone, closed my eyes for an extended blink and next thing I know I'm doing that head bob thingy. It kind-of scared me. I had to do a quick check to make sure I was still listening to hold music and then decided that all was good. I almost went back to sleep when the receptionist came back on. I have drank nothing but water and OJ for the past 2 days and have put so much vitamin C and Zinc in my body that I'm surprised I'm not peeing pure Vitamin C! I've also been hopped up on Advice Cold & Sinus (Target brand actually) during the day and Nyquil at night. Did you know that they quit putting the deconcestant in Nyquil just so they could keep the product on the shelves. I really don't mind having to go to the RX man to get me some good stuff, really I don't Mr Nyquil Maker. I really don't like waking up in the middle of the night in a drugged stuppor to try to find something to blew my nose into. My poor dog almost had snot in her ear last night cuz her floppy ear was the first thing I found while I was groping around on the floor in the dark.

The sneezing, it has to stop! If I weren't so vigulent with my Keigels I would be in need of Depends right now! No, I can't just sneeze once, I have to sneeze a minium of 5 times before I am done. & If one had a weak bladder muscle one would be wetting oneself in that process!

Does anyone have any suggestions as what to take for this cold? The Target brand Advil Cold & Sinus works for about 3 hours, but I still have to blow about every 20 to 30 minutes. I want something that is going to allow me to breath through my nose again and something that will allow the skin around my nose to heal. Hell, I'm next door to Rite Aid, so why don't I just go over and ask the RX man during my lunch what he suggests.

Oh, and still no puppies. The poor girl looks like she is going to explode!

4 weeks ago we rescued a dog. She was near death when we found her, she would not have made it through the night. I had to carry her to my house to get her warm. She had a nasty wound on her head that made me decide to make zero attempts to find her "owners". Now 4 weeks later she is happy, healthy, loved and named Emma. How does she reward me? By being pregnant! Yep, she's pregnant. She should have pups in about 2 weeks (that means she was pregnant when I found her). I just hope the pups are okay. I took her to the vet before we knew and she had some shots and I treated her for fleas too.
Isn't she cute? So if anyone wants a boxer mixed with who the heck knows what, get ahold of me. I'll have some pups looking for a home in about 2 months.

Just so she doesn't feel left out, here is a picture of my other dog. She is a Blue Heeler named Kotta.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

The X was around for Christmas. He took the kids to his mom's for Christmas Eve. My brother came over & helped me wrap presents, had pie and played with Gomer's present (she got a cell phone). He is in the beginning process of divorce, she filed, they had their first court date- not going as smooth as he would have liked but it never does. She and the kids had gone to her dad's house on Christmas Eve, so my brother came over cuz he was lonely.

During the day on Christmas Eve the X came over and went last minute shopping with me. He has no money and "felt like he contributed something by picking out some of the gifts". More likely he just enjoyed spending my money! He stayed at the house so he could be there in the morning when the kids opened their gifts. Then he napped most of the day away, then he left. The kids and I watched movies most of the day and played with their new stuff. Gomer had fun programming her phone, we both have the same model, the silver Motorola Razr V3. Her's has a pink cover, mine doesn't. We can hook them up to the computer and load ringtones and mp3's. So she had a lot of fun editing songs into ringtones and adding mp3's to hers. The night before she was a bit confused at to why her Uncle said she was going to have a lot of fun with that program, he had installed it while he was over and then showed her how to work it when she got home. I arranged it with her boyfriend for him to call her new phone Christmas morning at 9 am so she would have to open the ringing box. He did call, right at 9- I was impressed. I was all "oh this box is ringing- you'd better open it" She opened it, saw who was calling and answered the phone. She then asked him how much I was paying him to call like that. She is so wierd!

Lil'Man got a remote controled truck. It was fun to play with it and have the dogs chase it around the living room. It should be a source of great entertainment in the future. Just clear out the room and then we have 456 square feet of doggie chasing!

Beanie got a chocolate fountain, she really seems to like it. She got clothes too, she is really into clothes right now- I really hope that changes cuz she is REALLY into clothes and that could end up costing me too much money! I guess it's better that she's into clothes cuz that way she isn't trying to run around naked!

Okay, gotta get back to work.
