So of course, by this point I’m freaking out! I called the clinic back and told them she was bleeding an alarming amount! The girl on the phone told me to bring her back in immediately. I was glad to have gotten a hold of them since they were scheduled to close in 15 minutes. I wrapped Brownie up in a blanket and raced up the street to the vet’s office which was luckily only 2 minutes away. A few people were in the  lobby picking up their dogs after their surgeries, so it must have been surprising for them when I came rushing in with Brownie in my arms, almost hysterical. She was still bleeding and half of the towel had already been spotted with dark red pools of blood. They took Brownie into the back while I waited impatiently in the lobby. After a few torturous minutes, a vet tech came out and without even saying anything to me, calls the emergency animal hospital and tells them about the situation! Keep in mind, I still had no idea what was going on and was close to tears. Finally, she ends the call and tells me the vet that performed the spay wasn’t even there! He left to get a root canal!!!!! Another vet tech asks me accusingly if I had left the dog alone and suggests that Brownie jumped up on the bed and might have done some internal tearing!!!! Brownie was way too drugged up when I brought her home. There was no way she could have done any jumping! I wanted to slap the stupid bitch!!! Why did they even tell me to come in when the vet wasn’t even there!??? The phone rang again, and the same woman that had just made me feel as af I were to blame, yells out to the other girl not to answer it. All the other clients had left and I noticed they were shutting off lights in the back and gathering up things. I guess I had interrupted the end of their work day!!!!! One of the girls hands me directions to the emergency vet office and tells me they are expecting me!! All they did was wrap gauze around her little belly, but at least someone carried her to the car for me! I was shocked with their careless attitude towards me and my dog!

A few minutes later, I got to the emergency vet safely and they took Brownie in immediately. I waited just a little while before the vet came out to tell me what was going on. Apparently, Brownie was freezing cold and her gums were almost white!!! Her body temperature was only at 94 when a normal dog usually maintains a body temp between 101 and 102!!!!! Basically, she was suffering from hypothermia…..maybe a side effect of too much anesthesia, is what they told me. They also performed an untrasound that showed a few pools of blood in her abdomen which meant that she was hemmorhagging underneath the crappy suture job they did. Her blood cell count was still normal though so they put her in a heating chamber and put a few staples into her belly to reinforce the stitches. They advised me to leave her there for the night for observation and periodic blood cell checks. If it dropped too low, they would have to reopen her up to see what was going on. Really at this point, I had no choice. Brownie is one of my kids. The vet also told me after reading the spay and neuter clinic report that they had given her a basic, bottom-line pain injection that wasn’t even a steroidal non-inflammatory reliever, so they gave her something a little stronger for the pain. I was appalled to say the least. That’s the last time I visit that spay and neuter clinic. Cheap assholes.

So finally, they got her stablized and I was able to leave for the night. All I could do was hope that her blood count would maintain normalcy so I wouldn’t have to put her through another surgery. They told me they would call me with updates throughout the evening.

I got home and tried to sleep, but everytime the phone rang my heart would start racing. Luckily, no calls from the vet, and when I called them this morning around 6 am, they said she had been eating and was looking a lot better. She started maintaining her body temperature on her own and her blood cell count had remained the same throughout the night. THANK GOODNESS! I picked her up around 9 AM, and her tail is wagging again and you can tell she is just happy to be home. I have to go back to the vet in 2 weeks to get her belly staples removed and hopefully there will be no more complications. The vet said that it could have possibly been due to the fact that she was just in heat, or it could have been a crappy spay job but I’m sure he doesn’t want to point any fingers since I bet the spay and neuter clinic sends him a lot of business. Overall though, I was pretty happy with the service the emergency vet provided. Everyone there told me how sweet and adorable Brownie was, which doesnt surprise me at all. She is an amazing dog, and I don’t know what I would have done if things had been worse yesterday. The receptionist even knocked off a few charges from my bill when I picked up Brownie this morning. She told me that she understood how upset I must be since I only expected to have to go through a routine surgery and ended up having to spend about 4 times as much! Totally appreciated!!!

Finally in other dog news, I  adopted out Brownie’s last pup just a few days ago! The vet that had been seeing her for her regular vaccinations surprised me and called to adopt her after her past appointment! I don’t think I could have found her a better home! At least I know that she will always he healthy!!!! I dropped her off the other morning at a house right around the corner. The vet has a few other small dogs, mostly chihuahuas, a couple of horses, and acres for the animals to roam! I am so happy! It’s just kinda weird knowing it’s all over now. Those puppies were basically my life for the past 4+ months. I loved them all, but I am so excited that they will all have great lives. Plus, I can pretty much see any of them whenever I want.

But seriously…..NO MORE DOGS!!!!! In fact, NO MORE PET DRAMA AT ALL PLEASE!!!!!!

Work has been pretty crappy for the past week, for me at least. Seems like a ton of girls have been coming in lately. It was pretty nice during the holidays when most of them were on vacation. I’m still waiting for all the conventions and sports events like the FBR open and the NBA all star game, when hopefully we”ll get business from all the out-of-towners. Everyone is terrified with the way the economy is going.

Today is also Chinese New Year….so HAPPY YEAR OF THE OX!

For all of you that don’t know, people born in the year of the ox are said to be:

Dependable, calm, methodical, patient, hardworking, ambitious, conventional, steady, modest, logical,

resolute, tenacious. And can be stubborn, narrow-minded, materialistic, rigid, and demanding.

Hmmm, sounds pretty similar to the traits for the Western sign of Taurus. 

When I was a kid, my parents would take me to China Town in Honolulu every Chinese New Year to see the dragon and lion dances. It was actually a pretty terrifying experience when I was very young, all the noise, crowds, and especially the menacing look of the lion…even if I knew there were people underneath. Then to top it all off, my mom would always hand me a dollar to offer to the mouth of the lion for good luck. My dad would carry me on his shoulders right up to the front of the crowd and I would throw the money at the person inside the lion’s head, rather than handing it to him, because I was so freaked out!!! I think I came home crying on a few Chinese New Years!!! I kinda wish I could go check out the festivites at the Chinese Cultural Center tonight, but I have a cam show this evening! Hope nobody misses it!

Anyways, today is going to be just another one spent trying to get way too many things done. I have so many things online I’m trying to catch up with, including a cam show tonight. And in the meantime, have to run some errands this afternoon. And don’t forget laundry and preparing dinner later. Sometimes I wish I could just go back to being seven years old again, just for one day.  The good news is that I feel pretty amped about going back to work tomorrow. Sometimes, you just need a few days off to do other things.

Cardinals are in their final game this weekend to dtermine whether they go to Superbowl. I was just discussing with a friend the other day the coincidence that the Cardinals are suddenly doing phenomenally better this season after their home state hosts the most successful Superbowl in years…….

Or is it really a coincidence????

Haha,  just leaving you to ponder some silly football conspiracy theory. Until next time, kids….

I sat next to the college football quarterback of my school in ethnic studies class one semester and had absolutely no idea who he was until I saw him on the local news one day. I”m getting more into football the older I get. Could be the place I work, or because I live in Arizona now which is the only place I’ve lived that has their own professional team. (One for every major sport even!) What I still don’t understand is why they even call it football. The term “football” should be reserved to soccer, and a whole new name should be coined for it. Well, at least I think so.

Anyways, it’s just another Sunday around here. Doing the usual this weekend and just working. I took the last remaining puppy, Houdini, to the vet yesterday to get her the third set of vaccinations she needed. I think she has 2 more visits after this. All of her siblings were also there with their new owners for the low cost clinic so it was a little family reunion. Awww. I actually just contacted a rescue in town  that specifically places dogs with well-suited owners about putting her profile on their website. I can just keep her until she is placed and whatever money they make from her adoption can be kept by them. So in a way, it would be like making a donation to their cause. I think it’s a good idea. I’m still waiting on hearing back from them though, so hopefully they will agree. Houdini just turned 3 months old but she is already about 10 or 11 lbs, but she is very smart and almost housebroken as well.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

I also talked to a psychic who read my palm and told me some pretty generalized stuff. For instance, she said I had a long life line but she could forsee some health problems around 68 years of age. How many 68 year olds do you know that don’t have at least some minor health concerns????? Haha. I asked her if criminal justice would be a good field to go into and she said that I would be good at it,  but it would end up weighing me down. She also told me the same thing that every “psychic” I’ve seen has told me, that a lot of people are jealous of me. Duh, I already knew that. Just kidding. So in conclusion, not too mind-blowing of a reading. But once again, it was free! I also tried some roulette and blackjack in the casino where you won raffle tickets for every 500 you had in chips. I ended up with 6 tickets but no luck when they pulled the numbers. I think they were giving away gift certificates and plasma TVs. All in all, a pretty fun night and I love that everyone is so friendly with each other, even if some of us don’t really talk on a normal basis. The club must spend a bundle on the party every year also so it’s nice that they’re doing it for us. I never thought I would say this about working at a strip club, but I absolutely love our work environment. Rarely any drama, awesome management, and a closeness among most of the girls that you dont really see at other clubs. I mean, what other stripclubs have employee potlucks????

Anyways…..enough about work. I finally adopted out another puppy, Goldie, who also happened to be my favorite. A friend from work originally wanted to see the other remaining girl we call Houdini, but when she came over she liked Goldie’s outgoing personality more. I was actually guessing beforehand that would happen. She also has another dog, a poodle mix named Marley that was super excited about getting a friend. Her new owners seem to be good pet owners so I am not too concerned about her well-being. They had actually been looking for a puppy for a while. So now we just have to find a home for little Houdini and my work raising them will be done! I’m a little sad but still soooooo relieved it’s almost over.

I can’t believe Christmas is on Thursday and then 2009 will be here! Yikes!

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.

I think there were 8 of us all together but still had copious amounts of leftovers. I gotta say I was a bit disappointed with the stuffing since it wasn’t homemade…but who am I to complain. There was a TON of other great stuff. One of my neighbors, Ben, even made lil’ smokie weenies wrapped in bacon and sprinkled with brown sugar, or as I like to call it…a coronary on a toothpick. Delicious though!

Anyways, that’s enough about food for now. Like I said, I’m still full from all the eating on Thanksgiving. Afterwards, I just watched the Philadephia Eagles kick the crap out of the Arizona Cardinals and took my stuffed self to bed around 930.

The puppies finally got their first round of shots and exams yesterday . I only spent $18 on each, which I was grateful for. I took them to a low-cost clinic they hold at the animal feed and supply store right across the street. They’re all really healthy and ready to leave anytime. They’re going out into the yard for the first time today when it warms up a little more. I can’t wait to see how they handle it. Two of them peed themselves at the vet visit yesterday because they were so scared.

Finally, in my last news bit of the day….I’m going to get off my ass and call the dentist tomorrow to schedule a consultation so I can get the ball rolling on getting my invisaligns. I decided against metal braces simply because I don’t want the discomfort and hassle. I would probably hate the way they look also. The last dentist I went to in Vegas said my teeth would probably be straight within 9 months to a year with the Invisalign. I can’t wait! I know I shouldn’t care but I guess the one insult that bothers me the most is when someone says anything about my teeth. I wonder what it will be after they’re fixed. My height??

Other than all of that, just working a lot like usual. Things seem to have picked up recently though, especially since the heat broke but we’ll see how it goes around Christmas. It was a little slower than average last year during the holidays. I can’t believe it’s right around the corner once again! Where the hell is time going these days???

 I am in charge of bringing sweet potatoes, but I am also going to bring an extra ham and a pumpkin pie. I can’t wait! I really hope the stuffing is homemade also!!! I am still in total disbelief that the holidays are here again! It’s actually really cloudy and rainy today so it’s starting to feel more like the winter is coming. It had been pretty warm, still in the upper 70s and low 80s, just this past week. I love the winters in Arizona! They almost make up for the summer! I guess it’s cool to see the changing of seasons for Thanksgiving though. I only got to see that once when I spent the holiday in upstate New York. Every other Thanksgiving has been in Hawaii or in the desert!

I finally bought myself a little camera to carry around in my purse. My best friend got me a westcor card for my birthday so I decided to use it to put some money on a much-needed digital camera. I ended up spending about $150 of my own money, but I think I invested pretty wisely. It’s a 12 megapixel Kodak with a 5x optical zoom and even HD video capability. It was the only one I found with HD video, actually. Originally I went to Circuit City where I first saw it. All of the Circuit Citites in AZ are going out of business so cameras were all 10% off, but they only had one left and it was the display. Plus, it didn’t come with the box or accessories. So, being the cautious Asian consumer that I am, I decided to check Walmart before making a purchase. As it turns out, the same camera was being sold for the Circuit City “sale” price at Walmart, and it came brand new in the box. Thank goodness I decided to wait.

Well I guess I can’t brag about my new camera without putting up some new pics I took with it….and of course what better photography subject than the PUPPIES….hahahaha

As you can probably guess, they are becoming a bunch of little terrors!!! At least they have learned to mostly use the puppy training pads to use the bathroom, right before they decide to tear them to shreds!!! I love them all though!

Both boys and one of the girls are leaving next Tuesday after I get them their first shots on Saturday. So we will only have 2 girls left. I am happy though because they are going to good homes. The 2 boys are going to a friend’s sister, who is a total animal lover. They’ll be sharing a home with a little dachsund and an 18 year old cat!!!! The little girl is going to an older friend of a friend who already has another dog and cat as well. She is on disability though and doesn’t work, so she spends a lot of time with her pets. I’ll also be able to see them pretty much anytime I want. I don’t think it will be hard to find a home or homes for the remaining two.  I am just relieved that 2 will be a lot easier to handle than 5!!! I can’t believe it’s been almost 2 months since they were born.

Anyways, I hope everyone enjoys their Turkey Day as much as I will! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

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.

b) The puppies are getting huge! I would say they are about 3 or 4 lbs each now, about 4 times the size they were when they were born. Plus their eyes and ears are finally open,  and they are running, playing, and chewing everything in sight! A friend and I made a 5×8 playpen with an old rug as the floor and walls out of some scrap wood, high enough that they can’t get out…yet. Mommy dog has stopped feeding them as much and they have started to eat canned puppy food. They’re a little over a month old now so I’ll have them for about a month or two more. So far I have confirmed homes for both boys and one of the girls, but like I said before, I’ll keep them as long as I have to. I definitely only want to give them to people I know or their immediate friends or family. Some new pics…

I have to admit, they’re A LOT of work, especially as they get bigger. I wake up to their crying around 6 am everyday, which is usually a sign that they’re hungry. I also clean their little area twice a day, when I wake up and when I get home from work. I imagine that having kids is like this times 100! I actually went out and bought a carpet steam cleaner, mostly due to their shenanigans, but I had been wanting to get one for a while. I got a Bissell Quicksteamer, which is small but works pretty well. I spent the whole day yesterday cleaning the entire carpet and I am LOVING IT! The carpet looks like it did when I first moved in. l adore those little puppies  but I also can’t wait until they’re no longer my responsibility….I’m going to miss them though.

Halloween has come and gone. I dressed up as a nurse at work but didn’t do anything that night, sadly, since I had to attend traffic school at 7 am the next morning for the speeding ticket I got recently. What a lame experience that was!!! It was at the Comfort Inn, in a little conference room. About 60 people packed together for 5 hours staring at a projector and listening to an instructor tell us how life-threatening drving a car is! At least we got to see some gnarly crash videos and learned some scary facts. For example, about 120,000 red lights are ran daily in Phoenix and more than a third of Arizona drivers are without insurance! Apparently, Arizona is also one of the most dangerous states to drive in with more traffic fatalities than the national average. I guess the class did it’s job to scare the crap out of me and make me drive like a paranoid grandmother! But at least I’m not speeding anymore. Especially since they have installed traffic cameras on all the major freeways here recently that pop you for going 11 mph over or above. BOOOO!!!!

 I can’t believe I’m seeing Christmas stuff everywhere already! We haven’t even celebrated Thanksgiving! Speaking of which, I cannot wait for!!! I would have to say that of all the holidays, Turkey Day is definitely my favorite since I LOVE LOVE LOVE to eat! Plus I guess it was a big deal when I was younger and the family got together. My favorite Thanksgiving food is probably homemade stuffing, with yams coming in a close second. I think this year, my friend Angie and I might get together and cook for whichever of our friends that want to celebrate and eat with us. My parents don’t do anything for the holidays anymore since the kids are old, which is why I’m not going back to Vegas.

Today, I’m hopefully catching up on everything online, maybe take the adult dogs to the dog park before sunset, then doing a cam show later tonight and getting on the private cams afterwards to make some money and maybe meet some online friends??

Oh yeah, in other random happenings and newsbits…

I was at SuperWalmart the other day, getting my nails done in the salon there. I had just finished up with my nails and was about to get a pedicure when an announcement came over the speaker for everyone to evacuate the store immediately at the nearest exit. All of us looked at each other in confusion, when a lady came in and said a robbery or something had happened in the parking lot and the guy had run into the store so the police were trying to flush him out. Thank goodness my nails were dry! So I paid the little Asian lady quickly and walked out to the parking lot with a swarm of over a hundred other shoppers. I was surprised to see about 30 cop cars surrounding the place as soon as you exited the store, and officers everywhere!!! The crime scene tape was even around the area, and the police helicopter was circling above! I just hopped  in my car and got my feet done at another salon down the street, after waiting a while to get out of the Walmart parking lot in the middle of all that chaos of course! Later on the news, I heard the real story of what happened. Apparently some crazy looking dude (they showed his old mug shot) was running from the police, ran into a house near Walmart and stole their car, then drove to Walmart where he got out and ran into the store! I don’t know if he was armed or not, probably though since he had stolen a car! LOL, crazy shit! Oh, and get this…..the guy got AWAY!!!!!!!! Which raises that age old question….how many Phoenix cops does it take to catch one squirrelly asshole?????

GOAL: Write my blog everyday in the AM before I head to work!

xoxo

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

Elections are in a week! I unfortunately will not be making it to the polls, since I failed to register on time. I am SICK of hearing people squabble about politics though! I heard on the news that they are actually preparing police forces nationwide in anticipation of riots after the election winner is declared. I also just saw 2 white supremacist kids on the news that were arrested for conspiracy to murder a bunch of African Americans, leading up to the assasination of Obama if he wins the presidency.

I don’t recall this much controversy over any other election, even the big Bush/Gore fiasco in 2000. Maybe I just pay attention to the news more now. Another sign of old age????

Speaking of old age, my birthday is in about 3 weeks. No plans as of yet and not really going to anticipate any. I’ll probably just end up going to dinner with my girls from work. Oysters anyone??? I don’t really want to go party it up in Scottsdale, which is what we do for everyone’s birthday. I just went to my girlfriend, Paige’s Halloween/birthday party on Saturday night and literally needed 2 days to recover afterwards. I knew I shouldn’t have challenged my tequila hangover phobia. Haha.

Anyways, the puppies have opened their eyes. Although I think their vision is still improving. They can still barely walk but they’re getting better everyday. Some of them have actually started stumbling out of the box so I have to get them a new enclosure soon,  probably just a cheap kiddie pool from Walmart. I guess I don’t need to reiterate that they are too damn cute!!!!!!

Halloween is in a few days! I still haven’t gotten a costume, although I don’t think I will be getting into any mischief that night anyways. I have a nurse outfit from Frederick’s that I could probably wear at work. Not very original, but everyone loves a sexy nurse!

I guess the biggest news to report is that BROWNIE HAD HER PUPPIES!!!! So of course I’ve been busy with all of that as well, although she has been doing most of the work. On October 7th, I woke up to newborns in the box that I had specifically made for the event. She had been acting weird all night and I thought she was going into labor since she kept trying to burrow under the bed covers. I put her in the office and went to bed, but got up around 3 am to check on her. Still no puppies. But as soon as I went in again around 6 am, I heard squeaking from the box and to my surprise found 4 wriggling newborn pups, and sadly, one that appeared to have been still-born. After I had taken care of the deceased one, I was helping mama dog clean off the others when she suddenly popped out another one! I was pretty surprised. I can’t believe she was carrying 6 babies in her little body. I thought she would only have 3 or 4.

Here are some pics from the day after they were born:

They are all mixed with brown and have black muzzles. She had 2 boys and 3 girls. It’s still too early to tell what breed(s) they are mixed with but they are adorable for sure! I can’t wait until they open their little eyes. I guess we have about another week to go. For now, they just sleep and eat and kinda wriggle around inside the box…and squeak once in a while and attempt to bark. It is way too cute! I already have 4 homes lined up with people I know well. Plus I don’t think it will be too hard to find a 5th home, so I’m not worried about it. I am definitely not as freaked out as I was when I first realized she was pregnant.

I am astonished by how fast they are growing. They’re already about twice the size that they were when they were born, with fat little bellies. I’m relieved that there isn’t a runt. They’re all about the same healthy size.

Here are some pics I took today of them:

They look like little bears to me. Awww, they’re so damn cute! I am going to be sad when they get bigger and leave their mom. She’s such a good one too. At first, she would only leave the box when she had to use the bathroom. As they’re getting bigger, she’s coming out to get attention more. She probably just wants me to rub her sore titties. Haha.

ANWAYS….

In other interesting news:

— Someone tried to break into my house! I came home the other day and noticed that the sides of my front door next to the dead bolt were scratched up, like someone had been trying to pry it open with a screwdriver or something! Pretty scary…I’m glad I’m armed but I think it’s time invest in more security. Especially since my friend’s car also got broken into in my driveway not too long ago. I see some questionable looking people randomly walking down my street from time to time. I always wonder if they’re from the surrounding  shady looking apartment complexes, and “casually” taking a walk to case the neighborhood.

— I had my first official celebrity sighting at work and guess who it was…… Jaleel White AKA Steve Urkel, that annoying character from “Family Matters”, which I just so happened to watch every Friday night as a kid. He came in with a whole entourage and a few players from the Buffalo Bills after their loss to the Arizona Cardinals a few weeks ago. Haha, I didn’t know that guy still had money but he and his friends were throwing it around pretty inconspicuosly. I didn’t get to dance for him though, which would’ve made for a hilarious story to tell people for the rest of my life. HA!

And I guess this isn’t too exciting but I bought a Venus Fly Trap today to hopefully thwart some pesky bugs that happen to sneak into my house. I think they are the coolest things and have always wanted one since learning about them in elementary school. Hopefully, it won’t turn into a talking, giant, dog-eating Fly Trap worthy of it’s own musical.

I did a cam show on a new network yesterday to try to pick up some new members. I’ll have to admit it was a little strange getting in front of a bigger audience again but it reminded me of when I was doing webcam full time when I first moved to Vegas and was trying to get out of my parent’s house. Yup, I was an official webcam girl..and I guess you could say that was really the beginning of my adult industry “career”. I worked at a few different “studios”, which were basically commercial office space that had been converted into a main office and several small bedrooms equipped with a twin bed, computer, and camera. I was soooo scared the first time I showed up at one for a job interview. I had my dad drop me off since I didn’t even know how to drive at the time. I lied to him and said I was applying for a job as a secretary at a construction company. Conveniently enough, the webcam studio did have a sign in front that read “Triangle Construction”. The owner was a sleazy older guy that had even sleazier younger guys running his office. Needless to say, I didn’t stay there long. I’ll never forget the one webcam show I did there that paid me  a lot of money though. There was one guy I talked to that had some kind of fetish for seeing girls put pies in each other’s faces. So this other girl and I had a pie fight in the shower at the studio and they broadcast it on live webcam for a private show. Haha.

I bounced around to a few other webcam places after that, and when the last one finally went broke and closed down, I thought I was done with doing webcam for good. I even tried a normal 9 to 5 for a few months as a customer service rep at a miserable merchant credit card company but would’ve blown my brains out if I continued any longer. I literally got yelled at everyday over the phone by disgruntled customers, and my blood pressure and mental health couldn’t take it any longer. And I didn’t see how I would ever have time to get back to school with a “normal” job and trying to support myself. That’s when I decided to return to the dark side I guess you could say.  I started doing some nude and adult modeling which eventually resulted in me finding a job as an office manager for a photographer, who ended up being my main photographer today and the guy who originally proposed the idea of a website to me. And I guess the rest is history as they say. WOW, don’t you love how that mentioning of my last webcam show turned into a rant on how I ended up with IsisLee.com????? Now you know, if you didn’t already. :-O

Anyways, nothing much going on here but the daily grind. Brownie is still getting bigger but I have no idea when she will deliver. I wish I had a countdown going but I’ll probably come home from work in the next few weeks and be surprised by a box full of newborns when I get home. Either that, or she’ll have them in the middle of the night. I guess we will see. Some of my members and I have a bet going on how many there will be. I bet three.

I’m going to be working the rest of the week through next Wednesday so I will no doubt be keeping busy!

It’s that wonderful time of the month so I didn’t feel like going into work at the club anyways. (You know you totally needed to know that!)

I think I want to switch my normal days off to Thursday and Friday also, since it seems that there are always more girls on those days. I think it is so unfair that “night” girls can come in to work whenever they please, but “day”girls, like myself, have to leave by a certain time or when the nighttime house-mom kicks you out. The night girls always come in early on Thursday and Friday and it’s just bad for morale sometimes when there are a billion girls on the floor.

Anyways, I built a whelping box for Brownie the other day and put it in my office closet since she was already going and hiding in there. I think I did a fairly good job on the box, and Brownie sat beside me the whole time I was getting it ready. I can just tell that she knows what it’s for. She’s started napping in it already. She looks adorable with her huge little belly! I guess I was pretty overwhelmed at first when I realized she was preggers, but after talking to a lot of people with experience in that field, I feel a little better. Just like so many people have told me, dogs have been doing this since the beginning of their existence. Leave it up to the human to overthink it. Two to three weeks!!!!!

Here is the most recent pic of her little swelling belly! She looks like a water balloon!

My friends are going out to celebrate my friend, Denelle’s, bday tonight. Sounds like fun but I doubt I will be going. I’m pretty tired of bars and drama on girls nights out. Plus, I need to work tomorrow.  However, I will be joining them earlier in the evening for dinner at a seafood restaurant that I like. I can never turn down seafood and eating out with my friends!

It’s FRIDAY! Hope everyone has fun tonight!

The bar was pretty busy for a Monday night. We had some dinner and a few drinks. The food was okay as far as bar food goes. Seemed like I was fending off weird guys all night from Angie though. One dude in particular was totally wasted and would not leave her alone! He came over to talk to her and tried to hold her hand within 10 minutes of the conversation while picking off pieces of her salad with his other hand! Who the hell does that???? Then, when she went outside to smoke a cigarette, he made a huge show of starting up his Harley Davidson and tried to convince her to take a ride on the back of it! What a douche! I was just standing there noticing people’s expressions around me. A few guys were standing back and watching the situation with sympathetic or hilarious expressions on their faces. You kinda had to be embarrassed for the guy! Finally, Angie told him that he was too old for her (he was 43), thank you, and she was very sorry so he left us alone for a little while. He proceeded to get more drunk though and kept coming back over to our table….but luckily got kicked out after he tried to snatch the mic from a karaoke singer and start a fight with him. Awesome. At least good blog material though, huh????

And in other news….as it turns out, my new dog, Brownie, is PREGGERS! AAAAARGHHHH!!!!!

Last thing in the world that I need. But being the sucker for animals that I am, I did a ton of research about caring for pregnant dogs and newborn puppies today on the net. But don’t worry, I am NOT planning on keeping the litter. My plan is to get them their first set of shots, then finding a home for each of them….no matter how long it takes.

I’m guessing from the way her belly has swelled in the past few days (and other signs) that she is about 5 or 6 weeks along at this point. This means that she will probably deliver within the next 3 weeks!!!!!! I was around when our dog in Hawaii, Sweetie, had a littler of silky terriers. I even resuscitated the runt when it appeared he bad been still-born by rubbing him vigorously in a warm towel, a trick I saw on “Emergency Vets”  on Animal Planet. My mom and older sister were pretty amazed.

However, I am a little worried. I guess from my own motherly instincts. I guess I will let nature take it’s course though. I will keep you updated, and of course I’m hoping for the best. I am assuming that this is not Brownie’s first litter by the looks of her, so I am sure that she will be a great mommy. I am for sure an awesome grandma, if anything.

Nothing else to really report. Work is pretty hit or miss these days, and always swarming with too many chicks but in all reality, I shouldn’t really be complaining. Back to the salt mines tomorrow!

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!!!!!

I took the dogs to the dog park after I got home. There were a lot of people and dogs there! More than I think I’ve ever seen. Lucky got the crap scared out of him when he was just walking along, minding his own beagle business when two other bigger dogs that were chasing each other collided into him from the back. He yelped pretty loud and acted like he was hurt when I came over to see him. He was totally fine though, just a big drama queen. There were A LOT of dachsunds also, and they all seemed to converge into a little weiner herd together, barking at all the other non-hotdogs. LOL.

I’m pretty tired tonight and I’m going back to the trenches tomorrow. It’s going to be the beginning of the weekend for a lot of people but my work week is barely getting started.  My friend Denelle invited me to go out on her boat this weekend but I’m just going to be working to get some funds together for the end of the month, which seems to be approaching quickly.

Good night!
