Catching Up....

So to update you on the puppy. The owner went home and gave it a laxative (VERY bad idea) and it passed a rag...or at least that's what she said at first. She took the puppy to another clinic and didn't mention anything about the whole situation. However, the other clinic got a phone call and filled in on the poor puppy's situation.....she declined EVERYTHING except vaccines. And told the other clinic that the puppy passed a bra (hope it had no under wire...).

We got a report from the other clinic, I was so riled up I just wanted to call Animal Control on her, and all the girls that I work with were like " You have to get to a point where you don't care anymore than the owner" I don't think that will ever happen with me.

So ANY way, after work on Thursday Dr. M and the girls took me out for my going away dinner and it was great!! We went to Bravo's and OMG the food was YUMMY!! I was STARVING so we ordered appetizers and ate them all before Dr. M even got there. So my manager had gotten me a card, but she doesn't work on Thursdays, so she had everyone sign the card at the table. I was wound up and goofy so I was passing the card around saying things like "SHHH don't let her know, it's a secret" then acting all surprised when I opened the card.

My manager got me the CUTEST little lunch bag. She filled it with candy and snacks, and on the card wrote "May you never have another Snack Attack" because I'm ALWAYS eating at work. So anyway Dr. M finally got there, and I handed him the card and told him to keep it a secret because we didn't want me to know about the card. He laughed and signed the card, handed it back, and I acted super surprised when I got the card back. Everyone was laughing at me, but I rarely get to show my true colors at work and be stupid goofy.

So we had dinner and then dessert (I had vanilla gelato in a champagne glass with a shot of espresso over it YUM-O) and we all parted ways. I got home around 9ish and told Cam hi and we talked shortly. But the neighbor were having a cook out so we chilled with them and I was talking 90miles an hour because of the espresso. So I told my long drawn out version of the Great Dane Puppy Story all details and phone conversation include in about 10 min. I chatted the mayor's ear off until about 12.

And went to bed, and Cam didn't even know I had crawled in bed because about the time I got straight, I crashed and passed out.

Summed up in 3 words...

So today can be broken down into three sections: Work, Dinner, Night.

Work: A little exciting. We dubbed today "Stupid Tuesday with Vengeance." Every Tuesday it seems we get stupid phone calls, silly appointments and it's just a stupid day over all. We usually get stupid questions all week, but it seems we get the most stupidity on Tuesday. It's usually things like "My [insert pet] might have gotten into poison, ate a one pound Hersey kiss, has been puking/had diarrhea [insert ANYTHING else an animal can eat and isn't supposed to] on Thursday,Friday, or anything before Monday. Should I bring him in?" It makes good fun when we all need something to laugh about, granted it's nothing major that was eaten.

Today, we had a few one puppy ate wire Saturday or Sunday, went to an emergency clinic and was supposed to be to us Monday, she comes in and doesn't want surgery. I'll update you on the puppy's status tomorrow, but when I clocked out, she was supposed to take him to another clinic for MORE diagnostics, MORE radiographs and surgery. Then someone came in knowing she didn't have money to pay for the visit, and still made the appointment, and we had to jump through hoops to get her seen, and the flea problem with her pets taken care of.

Add this to coworker drama, and four lines ringing off the hook....it was chaotically funny today. I clocked out at 6:40, we close at 6 and BOTH doctors were running late. That kinda sums up most of my day at work.

Dinner: VERY yummy. We went over to the mayor's house, and we all cooked. Cam and the mayor grilled steak, K-Roo and I did veggies and Lei came over to eat. Lei was telling us about her puppy's training, and we're taking bets on how long it will be before T-Willie breaks the clicker she has.

Night: this is it. I came home, my back killing me, Cam took a shower, I played with iGoogle home page, and then took a shower. Realized I hadn't updated my blog today, and now that I have, I'm off to bed. G'night to all.

Seamus and my foot...

So the most amusing thing that happened today was that one of the Doc's puppy peed on my foot! Kinda my fault, she had just let him out of the kennel and he jump up, and peed on my foot. It was gross.

Anyway other than that some girl demanded to be checked in and was VERY rude about it. I came home, got the puppy, helped the Mayor change the oil in his truck...I looked like an Oompa Loompa!!....then Cam made dinner and we're chillin now...

We did make plans to go to Busch Gardens as a Compound outing weekend after next and Cam and I are going to DC the last weekend I'm here.

I really don't want to go back to Florida, but I need to finish school, I'm almost willing on putting money that I'll be back at least twice a month...

Monday Monday, Again...

So yesterday, we went to the beach and took the puppy. Bill came, and the puppy puked, so I brought her home and Cam stayed and got a tan. So she wasn't doing so hot all weekend.

Anyway, we went over to Lei and T-Willie's and cooked out, then came home and crashed. The rest of the night was uneventful.

Work was kinda boring, I slept in and then went to work. After a mini bunny crisis, I came home, went to the pet store and went to the mayor's house to chill at the table.

Cam and I ordered pizza, and went to bed.

A Night Out

So today was just chill. Cam helped Bill move, and I stayed in my PJs and tried to figure out where I'm going to work when I go back to school.

Tonight, I took the puppy to Auntie Kay's and they flipped out playing. Laney and I went to see "Mamma Mia" it was great!! I LOVE Abba and I couldn't have loved the movie more!!! We came home and got the puppy and Auntie Kay said that they played non-stop all night!!

Cam is at a poker game tonight, I hope he does well and has a good time. I'm throwing in the towel and going to bed. The puppy is passed out and I think I'm going to join her. Tomorrow I'm going to hatch out a real budget and maybe I'll be able to stick to it rather than just be able to pay my bills, and get some gas and maybe go out one night.
