I dropped the dog at the vet to get neutered. DrHug has been just fretting all week about the "poor dog". The dog was kind of mopey for the last few days and DrHug kept trying to convince me that "the dog knows what you have planned." Now he is a smart dog, and he was with me when I discussed with the vet, but he is not THAT smart.

Oh yeah?

I agree with Dr. Hug. Male intuition.

Are you trying to sneak this in Angie with the current discussion . . . i.e. Lisa and Becka?

I can tell you that this old dog is STILL not getting neutered!

Dennis and I are going to get our carotids and legs scanned for plaque today. We also will get a scan checking for abdominal arotic anyerism (spelling John1). A company is doing these scans because these are silent killers (stroke). I was thrilled to be able to get a baseline. They will have the results read by a physician and then send us reports that we can take to our doc for our medical records. I am particularly happy to get the AAA scan since my father died from complications of this. He obviously had it for years as it was the size of a football when they did surgery and no one ever knew he had it.

Yes, John1, it seemed to fit right in with Lisa and Becka's conversations. And yes, my old dog would never go for the snip either. Poor dog though it is more than just a snip.

LOL, I once saw a comic strip where the dog was bragging to the other dogs - "My owner says he's taking me to get TUTORED!" and he's all excited and wagging his tail...

Yes well rest assured if I do end up expecting I will be having my tubes tied when they do the c-section and I am sending DH out to get neutered as well. Gotta cover all my bases next time....

I dropped the dog at the vet to get neutered.

Ah a TV for the dog...

 

[lbgraves]

Thank goodness that darn project is now saved to the computer. OY! I had to divide it into 3 parts. I guess the 22 minute slideshow was too big? Anyhow, now I just need to copy it from the computer to a CD. That will be soon. I have to get rid of this headache.

 

[goofyforlife]

You may be allergic to cleaning Lisa.....

(Yeah yeah that's why i don't do it...allergies )

I am having a bummer day, and you all have been very funny! Our dog died last night. As many of you know she had an extremely rare blood disease that made her blood very very thick. one of her vets worked at the emergency clinic in colorado that you see on T.V. all the time and she said last night in 20 years of emergency vetrenary care, she has only ever seen 1 case of this and that our dog was the only one she had ever tried to treat. She started having horrible twitches and siezures it was awful. Savannah was a wreck. We got her upstairs quicky and Steve called the vet and took her down immediatley. No oxygen to the brain.. sad day. Savannah and I were trying to watch something distracting on T.V. and I swear every commercial was a dog commercial. So, she went to bed really late and got donuts at 10 p.m.. She should have asked for a pony.

Our friends mother passed away on Saturday so we will be going to that funeral on wed.. My family does not do funerals. They are all cremated and the ashes spread, or buried, but no funeral. My first funeral was when I had been married to Steve and one of his friends died. I really don't like them, but I don't know anyone who does, so I guess that is normal.

So, I am trying to get myself out of this funk. Maybe I need to go shopping like Lisa....

John, we stayed at Beach Club Villas last February and loved it. They have a GREAT POOL! Hmmm....

Sorry to hear about your loss, Kim

or something else to clear your funk would be pricing like Becka and Lisa.

and a pony.....

George Carlin had it right when he said that cute little puppies (or any pet for that matter) are just a tragedy waiting to happen.

My Casey has been pretty slow getting around the last couple days. (the lab)She doesn't seem in pain but i still have these sad thoughts in the back of my head that her time will come in the next couple years.

Yes they are! My mom's carotid arteries were 100% occluded on one side and 95% on the other. I learned SO much about strokes. I had not a clue about them prior to that - I wish we had scanned first vs. the dye as recommended.

John1

LOL I knew you would chime in there John! There are now 3 of our friends (2 over 40 and 1 over 36) who are expecting. I told DH - ehm - if you don't want that to be you.... (you know that big cartoon balloon)! He blinked a few times and changed the subject.

 

[lbgraves]

A girl I bargain shop at Target with told me that I can't be pregnant because I'm going to be 40. THAT doesn't mean anything anymore. UGH!

 

[lbgraves]

Kim, I am so sorry to hear about your dog. I just told Kaitlyn and she said that Savannah really needs a hug now so can she go to Utah to see her. I told her that isn't possible today but she can call later if it is OK.

 

[lbgraves]

I am very happy to be finished with the darn video project. I ended up splitting it up into three files to get it copied to our computer & then I just had to drag it to the recorder & it copied...I HOPE! We will see what happens tomorrow when his teacher puts it in her computer.

What's the treatment if they find something?

I always get so anxious when I have any kind of test done, always scared they'll find something.

Hope it all comes back fine.
