Okay, I gotta admit, these Star Wars/animal/car commercials are good. Here’s VW with the new Bug! Wish my dog would take the initiative and self exercise herself lol

I present “The Dog Strikes Back”

I’m in Orlando for a vacation. All the times I have been coming to Florida I have never made it to Disney. This trips going to remedy that and fast. Today I went to Animal Kingdom. Rode a couple rides, saw a few things. This was the Safari tour I did. I saw

More to come later

I found this meme on another blog and tracked it back to the originator. There are some interesting questions and a great way to know me a little more. You can check it out at Meet Me on Monday Meme. Here goes…

1. The thing that scares me the most is __________?
Water bugs, nasty vile insects.

2. Do you like nuts in your Chocolate Chip cookies?
I could take it either way so long as they were dark chocolate chip cookies

3. If you couldn’t change the channel, what tv show would drive you from the room?
The Brady Bunch, never could stand watching that.

4. Pulp or no pulp in your Orange Juice?
No pulp, can’t stand the pulp getting stuck in between my teeth.

5. Who do you miss the most?
My cat Inky. She was my confidant. I can’t wait to get another cat.

I’ve always hated shoving pills down animals throats when they need to take them. It is way easier on everybody if you hide it in food or biscuits. Since one of my dogs needs an allergy pill on a daily basis I was using cheese as the cover up while I searched for soft biscuits to shove it in. I swear soft biscuits are hard to come by for dogs. Soft cat treats no sweat but I really don’t want the dogs to have diarrhea from eating cat treats. I mean if they get diarrhea eating cat food why not cat treats.

Anywhoo, I finally found some soft and chewy dog biscuits. Milk-Bone to the rescue! I opted for the beef and filet mignon flavor. I swear the dogs think it is crack. I grab the bottle for the Claritin to open it and the dogs are all over me because they know it is biscuit time now and I need to be pretty damn fast getting my hands away from their mouths when they grab the biscuit because they essentially inhale them. I got the big container for about $15.00. I’m going to try the chicken flavor next but I have a feeling it may not go over as well as the beef flavor but we’ll see. It is a win win situation now though, one dog gets a free biscuit while the other one gets her medicine.

The downside is when I grab the bottle for my Zyrtec since Claritin doesn’t work anymore on me they think it is more biscuit time which it isn’t. You hear that dogs, one biscuit per day only!

Well, I took the dogs in for their yearly shots today and came out with antibiotics and two, count em, two separate surgery dates for each dog. The antibiotic alone was $102 for 3 weeks because Pepper has an abscessed tooth which is infected. Her surgery is scheduled right after she finishes the antibiotics with the possibility that she will lose one of her teeth and possibly a canine tooth too.

Digging around in Stormy’s mouth revealed a tumor on her gum which is more likely than not cancer whenever found there. So her surgery is scheduled for May to excise the tumor, hopefully all of it. She may or may not lose any teeth depending on how deep the tumor is and then it will need to be sent off to verify if its malignant. Then we have to decide whether chemotherapy or radiation would be needed or not. She’s only 5 and coupled with her having seizures too I dunno how that’ll work.

So I walked out paying a $361 bill for today with estimates on one surgery between $480-$550 and the other of $480-$660. Yeah me :/

And I still forgot to get my damn oil changed in the car. Gotta remember this for tomorrow cuz its 1000 miles over due :/

So I’ve been dogging sitting for a friend since last Friday. They get picked up today and man I can’t wait. I love them to death but they are driving me crazy at this point lol.

As you can tell they got comfy pretty fast which is good but the puppy is so hyper. I completely forgot how hyper puppies were and ill mannered. He’s still nippy and annoying the heck out of my younger one who is 4. He whined when I put him in his kennel for the night and barked some too which is to be expected. Finally, he is an even bigger digger than my two combined. I’m going to have to buy a bag of dirt to fill in all the holes because he flung the dirt far and I can’t move it back into the holes.

The elder dog is so mellow. He just let’s things roll unless he’s chewing on his bone, then you better stay away.

I know they will both be happy to go home but I think they had a good time. I can finally leave the doors upstairs open now too. The puppy is an excitable piddler so he wasn’t allowed in any of the bedrooms.

Puppies are gone at 11:30 PM – I’m out!
