Dog Drama

Well, yesterday was definitely a harrowing experience!!!!! I had to take Brownie into the clinic in the morning for a scheduled spay. She was in heat the last 2 weeks and I definitely didn’t want to go through that again. I read online that there are a few associated risks with getting your dog fixed during or soon after a heat since their blood vessels are more open and prone to excessive bleeding.  Read more

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!

It’s been a few days since I last wrote. I took Lucky to the vet last Thursday finally to get his teeth cleaned, and get the tumors in his ear and in his chest removed and sent to the lab. Luckily, the vet discovered that the one in his chest was just a lipoma, or fatty tumor, and didn’t send it in for biopsy. Read more

Pet Woes and More Football

I’ve been somewhat of a hermit for the past two days.   I had to take a few days off from the club to get my head cleared(and get my house cleaned).   Plus, I had to take Lucky to the vet yesterday for his shots and get a lump in his ear checked out. Read more

A rant on football

There’s a lot of football frenzy going on lately it seems. The Cardinals beat the Carolina Panthers last night which was a big win for us now that we’re in the playoffs, plus BCS, and the fiesta bowl last weekend here in town.  I was never into sports when I was younger.

Awesome party and a puppy update!!!

Well last night, I went to the club’s  annual Christmas party. It was a lot of fun with the same things as last year, and an addition of a Rockband room where you could play the video game with other players. I tried and failed pretty miserably, but people were laughing and having a good time. I got my caricature drawn, which turned out to look nothing like me but hey, it was free!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I finally let 3 of the puppies go yesterday, the two boys and the youngest girl. Let me tell you, having 2 puppies is so much easier than 5! The best thing is that I can pretty much see those 3 anytime I want since I know the people they went to. I think I have one or two prospective homes for the remaining 2 so I am not stressing about it.

I got my Christmas tree up finally also! It’s a fake 6-foot evergreen but looking at it still makes me feel all festive and fuzzy inside.  I felt pretty lame wrapping up some empty boxes to make fake presents so I could do a photo set next to the tree, but you can’t set the scene without presents under the tree! It was fun decorating though. I even put on some corny holiday music while I put the ornaments up. Look:

I still miss the smell of a real evergreen but at least theres no maintenance and pine needles to clean up. I haven’t even put a Christmas tree up in years, so it was fun.

Tonight, my friend Angie is “forcing” me to sleep over at her house. Haha, I shouldn’t say “force” but I promised her I would sleep over at her new apartment when she moved in and that was months ago. She’s been ragging on me about it ever since. I’m not really one for sleeping over at people’s houses, but according to Angie’s logic, since she has slept over at my house countless times, I apprently owe her. She gets really excited about stuff like that. Haha, so girly. I, on the other hand, hate taking showers at other people’s houses, and she has 3 cats and 2 ferrets…neither of which has a smell I  care for. But who am I to talk, I just opened my house up to a pregnant dog then 5 puppies! Plus it makes her happy. We’re going to Kona Grill for drinks and appetizers when she gets off work too….and you know I can never turn down eating out with friends….especially at Kona Grill! I love their seared ahi!

I guess it’s just back to work for the rest of the week. I want to shoot another video and photo set today before I go out with my girlfriend, so I definitely have things to keep me busy.

Thanksgiving and other News

It’s already the Sunday after Thanksgiving, but I still feel like I’m full. The holiday turned out great! I hung out across the street with the neighbors and we had our little Turkey Day potluck. We had turkey, stuffing, yams, ham, mashed potatoes, cornbread, a spinach and pecan salad, all kinds of appetizers, and a few desserts including pumpkin pie, of course.

New Camera and Puppy Pics

Well, THANKSGIVING is tomorrow! Which, in case you haven’t been paying attention, is my FAVORITE holiday!! I got invited across the street to the neighbor’s feast, which is always cool since they’re all about the same age. Apparently, there are going to be quite a number of people there, and I am also bringing a friend that didn’t originally have plans.

Drowning in Puppies and more Chaos

I haven’t been on here in FOREVER, mainly due to a few things:

a) Working my butt off to pay bills. Thank GOD I am finally catching up from being behind for a month or two. Everyone knows the economy sucks, but it seems like work has been picking up…probably due to season being back in and all the “snowbirds” making their return to Arizona.

Update long overdue!

Well, it’s been the same stuff around here. Working a lot, puppies getting bigger, trying to keep the house clean, etc…..

I have been slacking online though, so BIG APOLOGIES! I am trying to find a balance, and more energy and time.

Puppies, Celebrities, and a Venus Fly Trap

Well, it has been a hectic past few weeks…as evident by my absence from the online world. I have been working almost everyday and still paid all my bills about a week too late. And now it’s time to start all over again it seems. The economy has everyone hurting financially, but I’m pulling through.

Happenings and how it all began…

Wow, I can’t believe that it’s almost October! Turns out I’m not going to Hawaii anymore due to outside circumstances, or rather I should say that the trip has been postponed to March or April sometime. I guess everything happens for a reason though, since Brownie is now going to have puppies and a two week trip to Hawaii in the middle of all that would definitely complicate things. I’ll get there soon enough.

Cleaning sucks!

I spent the last 2 days at home just getting shit done, mostly cleaning. It’s amazing how quickly my house gets messy. It feels really nice when you’re done with a thorough house-cleaning though, so I am reveling in the experience right now.

More Drunken Debauchery and I’m going to be a Grandma!

My friend, Angie, and I went out last night to a little dive bar that holds karaoke everynight. It was the 3rd or 4th time hanging out there since it’s literally right around the corner from my house, about a 5 minute walk. Angie had made plans to sleep over at my house since we renewed our dancer licenses downtown this morning.

Burglary and a found Cheagle

It’s Sunday, which means I have a cam show in about 3 hours…then it’s off to work at the club this afternoon. It has been getting better everyday so everyone has been in better spirits. (I hate listening to bitching and complaining!)

On Thursday night, a friend slept over since we had some dinner and a few drinks at my house. The next morning, my neighbor, Josh, from across the street rang my doorbell at 6 AM! He was just leaving for work when he noticed a tall skinny black dude standing in my driveway. I guess as soon as he saw Josh, he walked up to my front door so Josh figured for a moment that it might be someone I know. He got in his car and started driving to work, but when he got down the street, his instincts told him to go back since it all seemed a little strange. When he got back to my driveway, the black dude was gone but my friend’s truck window had been smashed in! Josh then called the cops and rang my doorbell. Three Phoenix cops showed up and took a report and witness statement. Then they dusted my friend’s truck door and lifted a few prints. They said they would probably not get the guy right away but could use our info if more people started reporting the same incident. All in all, the guy got off with a digital camera and an ipod. Not too bad, but I bet my friend won’t leave valuables in his car anymore. His apartment got broken into a few months ago too! How lame. I, at least, feel a little secure in knowing that my neighbors have my back. Josh was even late for work so he could talk to the cops for us. He seemed pretty amped about catching the guy and said he would identify him in a line-up if he had to. Just some crackhead probably.

And in other news, my crazy dog loving ass has brought another addition into my family. Another one of my friends called me and told me about a little dog she had been seeing around her neighborhood for a few days. Turns out one of her neighbors had moved and just left the poor thing behind!!!!! Who the hell does that???!  She is about two years oold, according to another neighbor that had known the dog for a while, and apparently her name is Brownie. I decided not to change her name since she already comes to it.  She is about 12 lbs and looks to be a chihuahua/beagle mix. She has the same eyes as Lucky and aboout the same sweet demeanor but I’m guessing by her size and head shape that she is also part Chihuahua…..so she is a Cheagle (or Bea-wa-wa). Here is a pic:

Seriously, who could ever leave that!!!?????? I swear, that is it though! No more dogs!!!! I had been thinking of getting a chihuahua or another beagle for a while, so this is the perfect solution!!! She is just full of love too and you can see how grateful she is to be off the streets!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!!!!

 

Fun at the Dog Park

Nothing really exciting going on today. Just went to work, which was dead, but the day went along fine. One of my friends gave me a really great compliment today, which kinda made my day. It’s funny how sometimes the smallest thing can make you smile all day. Read more
