I was kind of surprised when my last blog got almost no comments on it so I decided not to post anything for a while on here. The following blog was written a week ago but didn't get posted because I've been working day and night for the past few days. Oh LillithVain got a little German Sheppard puppy a month ago and Intensiti and I got one of the puppy's brothers...pics below (all the pics are clickable with links to the larger versions of the pics) :
28 DAYS LATER!
I was asked recently where I've been/what I've been up to. Don't worry I'm still alive.
So it has now been more than 4 weeks since the whole internal bleeding/trip to the E.R. thing and surprisingly I'm pretty well recovered. The hospital refused to give me a blood transfusion so they really slowed down my recovery. One interesting and postive note: I'm not currently having any problems with blood pressure which is really good. I am however behind on returning calls and e-mails
I have hardly been online since all that happened. The recovery took a lot out of me and even though I thought I was 100% I'm still not quite there. I went 5 days without working. For those of you who know how hardcore I am about working (having once worked with a temp of 102) you know how messed up I had to be to not work for that long. The decision was made during that first week that we were going to wait until June to go out and do things. I have hoped to be 100% by the first weekend in June but I would say I'm close to 70% or 80%.
And now on to the other reason I haven't been online much: A week and a half after the ER trip I got a puppy...yes a puppy! He is a German Shepard/Chow mix just like Intensiti's dog Ginger was (I will scan in a pic of Ginger sometime soon). His name is Elvis and he was 5 weeks old when I got him although he was almost 7 weeks old in the following picture. Bella wouldn't play with him until he was close to 7 weeks old.
Elvis and Bella
As you can see I have my hands full. This one's a real biter too. I nicknamed him Chomper LOL. We are currently working on breaking him of that habbit over the last couple of weeks. He's doing well.
Elvis after he fell alseep biting the crate!
LOL the little guy fell asleep biting his crate and was just starting to wake up when I took that picture.
On his 7 weeks birthday we took him to see his sister Presley (Lillith's dog). Yes, his name is Elvis and his sister's name is Presley! LOL
Elvis and Presley
Me holding Elvis and Presley
As you can see in the pics his ears were'nt perked up yet. One of them perked up the day after he saw his sister and the other perked up a week after the first. We have plenty of pictures. I have taken at least on pic of Elvis every day since we got him. We took him and Bella to PetLuv (petlove.org) to get their shots. It's a non-profit place in Brooksville. I got Elvis microchiped and Bella was...already microchipped???? wtf????? Now I've gotta sort all that out. Oh and did I mention my brother got a cat (which means that we are pretty much the ones taking care of it lol). His name is Furbie:
Devon with Furbie
Devon (in the picture) wasn't able to keep him any longer so he is now living at my brother's house. He and Bella don't get along at all...like cats and dogs lol. I give Furbie lots of attention when I'm at work. Between Elvis and Furbie and Bella and Thor I really don't get online as much as I was before. And another oportunity presented itself that I couldn't pass up: I was able to save some tadpole from the recent storm. It's something I always wanted to do but never had a chance. These tadpoles started small too. They were all the size of a ball point pen tip when I found them. With all the animals I doubt I will be able to keep them when they become frogs. But it's a good chance to watch the tadpoles grow. What we will do with them when I travel.....I have no idea....lol. Well I guess I better go get some sleep. It's 7:33 AM right now lol.
