On the road again...

Concert coming up on Thursday! Im super excited! Its in CHatanooga at a cool new venue.


Hubby had his recheck appointment and it showed that the surgery worked. Im planning a may 2012 trip to Keywest, and at this point, Im fairly certain Ill be pregnant LOL

I heart faces photo!

Well, having a ton of puppies sure has its perks, especially when you think of this idea! These 5 week old German Shorthaired Pointers sure did look cute stacked onto this bench! Anybody need a puppy? Only 2 left :)

A lovely weekend of nothing

So, hubs and I spent a lovely weekend of mostly nothing. And by weekend, I mean mostly Saturday. And by nothing, I mean sleeping. Does this indicate that we're getting old and boring? By Sunday, I was ready to go to work, and so was he! Maybe we just arent sure what to do with each other since we dont often have tons of alone time, but its pretty ridiculous! I wanted to go on a trip somewhere and left him to do the planning. That turned into...sleeping on Saturday.

How do we fix this? Revitalize ourselves? Im at a loss. He seems to enjoy me more when Im gone and hes working. I dont even know. I enjoyed the weekend, but it seems we're never far away from our responsibilities. The house needs something, the car needs something, the dogs need something..you get the picture. Sometimes, I just wanna go somewhere with my husband and just BE WITH MY HUSBAND. No alarms at 4:30am. No whining puppies all night. Just be. It makes me sorta depressed that Im 28 years old and I have a 90 yaer old relationship.

no rest for the weary

Surgery

...went well!

Within 2 hours of leaving, John was trying to fight some man at a stop light. Id say he came through ok, attitude intact and everything! I hadnt slept at all the night before because I worked, so when I got settled into the waiting room, I PASSED OUT. Slept like a freaking baby. According to the attendant, John wouldnt let them wake me up. So, I got 4 hours of quality sleep propped against a couch. Woke up covered up with a blanket. I guess I looked cold.

Recheck appointment in a month, so we'll see if it was a real success. Im pretty stoked! Nervous, but definitely excited! Its gonna be wonderful!

(Honey, if we make a baby at the beach, does that mean we have to name her Myrtle or Sandy?? Or what if its a boy? Pier? Surf?)

Our house is a madhouse right now. We have 26 puppies in our bedroom. Dont. Ask.
We're planning to build a barn this year and set it up so the babies can go to the barn at 3 weeks. Once they're mobile, their risk of injury by the mother is way decreased. Just gotta have a better plan that puppies in the bedroom, cause HOLY COW. We look like we belong somewhere between the Hoarders TV show and Cruella Deville. lol.

thats all, folks!

When I was a boy.. (say it like Sean Connery..)

OK, well I was never really a boy, but thats one of my favorite lines.

Anyway, when I was a teenager and I finally got braces, I had a super nice orthodontist. He was funny and patient. He told me funny stories about his pup, a German Shorthaired Pointer. His funny stories helped shape my decision to add pointers to my own life. They were so adorable with their floppy ears, and obviously quite funny. Anyway, Ive always told people how I came to be a German SHorthaired Pointer owner.

Last night, this particular orthodontist and GSP were parted. His 13 year old canine companion passed away, and even though I never knew the pup personally, I felt so involved with him! I was heartbroken for the family. So, even though they'll probably never read this, my thoughts are with you! I am sorry for your loss.


John has surgery tomorrow. The big repair day! Im a nervous freaking wreck (sorry, honey!). I want to vomit and Ive thought of every reason why he shouldnt do it. They say its simple but Im scared to death! Scared. To. Death. I just cant imagine all the things that could happen, except, I could imagine them, and Ive about made myself sick over it. Focus. On. The. Positive. And, our cutest little baby that we will soon be sharing! (Soon is relative, it might be a year). Focus. FOcus. I love you, babe! <3

Ultrasound and dog vomit

So, today, the dog vomited in my truck. Twice. And, lucky me, it wasnt grass. She vomited up turds. Already turded out, reingested turds. I could've vomited myself. When you have 3 dogs running around in your truck, your window options are fairly limited, especially if you fear that a dog or 2 might leap out. So, I cracked the windows, cranked up the air and held my breath in 20 second intervals. GAG a freaking maggot!.. In the process of blocking out the smell, I must've blocked out everything becasue she ate the vomit before we arrived at our destination. So, if she pukes again...I cant even imagine. *shudder*.

On Monday we're having our 4th of July party. Im super excited, but super nervous. Ive never had a party before so Im mostly concerned about entertainment. Nervous!

Tuesday, John has an ultrasound. He was misdiagnosed and we're taking steps for repairing the issue. Hes facing some surgery, but hopefully not super complicated surgery! Im already nervous for him. Thats us in a nutshell!
