THE RETURN of THE WHATLEYS MAY 21-30. Our trip is done, now time for the TR :(

Hi Dana! Hope you're weekend is going well. How is Niko doing today? I understand the feeling of a sick puppy dog for sure. :hug: I'm still not over my dear Hannah. :sad1:

Amanda's budget sounds good. Can't wait to hear all about the wedding. :goodvibes Congrats to Amanda and Matt!!
 
Dana
I hope Niko is getting better and can come home today! poor baby!!!

Amanda's budget is doable depending on the type of wedding she plans; and if MIL2B owns a flower shop and a catering bus I'm sure she will cover that portion of things, so that opens some of the expense Amanda would have to budget.

Danny & I were married very young! We have been married 24 yrs in June and we dated two years before that. We met through my cousin we planned our wedding for about 8 months...I was a Sr in high school...my wedding date was SIX days after my graduation. My poor parents! I was 17 to be 18 in Aug and enrolled in college; Danny was 20 to be 21 in Aug and had a job he had been at since he was 15 and is still there today. No, I did not finish college (Gwendolyn made her appearence two years later). My parents opened a flower shop and I just went in and helped her and dad with that.

Now, I was too young I should have waited at least 6 mo to a YEAR! But, you could not tell me that (my parents tried). We have had rocky times (who doesn't when you are together that long-and you mature at different rates) but, love has prevailed!

Sounds to me like they have a great idea of where they are headed and both come from great families! Hopefully, they will give you a great deal of time to plan!!!!

Keep us updated on Niko!!!!

Weekend is going OK so far, wet and dreary, but OK. Niko got to come home this morning. We decided we were going to go in and check on him either way. Right now Niko and Dale are sleeping in the recliner :lmao:.

All Amanda is doing, and talking about, is planning the wedding....lol. She was talking about ordering some Jones Soda, with her and Matt's picture on the bottle, in the colors they are going to use (green and blue), for wedding favors :rolleyes1. That would be at least $1000. I asked her if she knew what people do with wedding favors? :lmao:.

:wave2: Connie

Niko did get to come home today :banana:. I am slap wore out too. Not just because of Niko.

My sister Wanda was like you Connie she turned 17 and got married 2 days later. She and Tommie were married for 36 years before he passed away. I know when Doug and I got married he was just too immature, he was only 20, but then Doug is 46 now and he is still immature. If you have read some of his posts on my FB page you know this.......:rotfl2:.

Thank you Connie. It really is nice to have encouraging friends.

I am going to post more later. It is time for the Saints game and Dale keeps say "The game is about to come on. You know it is time for the Saints? I know Connie and her family are watching the game. The game has 20 minutes." Yes he is insanely nervous.........:lmao::scared1:.



 
Weekend is going OK so far, wet and dreary, but OK. Niko got to come home this morning. We decided we were going to go in and check on him either way. Right now Niko and Dale are sleeping in the recliner :lmao:.


I am so happy little Niko was feeling well enough to come home. If he's like my little pug, he's as content as can be curled up in someone's lap, sleeping. :goodvibes BTW, we're wet up here in north Alabama too.

:rotfl2::rotfl2::rotfl2: Aren't they all??? ;)

Poor Niko still isn't feeling that great and I am still worried about him, but at least he is home and doesn't feel abandoned :sad1:.

I think the rain has finally gone and it is going to clear up. I want to ride over to Ft. Walton Beach tomorrow and just look around and take some pictures

You are so right they are all immature :rotfl:. Doug and I were only married for 3 years because of his immaturity. We are still friends, but I only have to take him in small doses :rotfl2:.



Yay for Niko!! That is great news!!

We are glad he is home Mary. I can't wait for him to be back to himself, even if that means he is mean to everybody:rolleyes1.


 
As everyone has read Niko got to come home today. I was really upset with the tech I spoke with yesterday and we were going to the office to check on him. I got up and got ready and we headed out. It was raining and nasty. The ground was so wet it was like walking in pudding. We were at the vets office within 10 minutes. The receptionist asked us if we were there to pick Niko up? We told her we were there to check on him and see what was going on with him. She put us in a room and Dr. Sheila came in right away and asked "How did you know to come and get him? I just got off the phone with your daughter :confused3. We were in such a rush to get out the door I forgot my cell phone. She discussed Niko's condition and told us what we could expect. She said his vomiting was better, but he still had diarrhea. Then the REAL reason he was going home-------------------------Dr Sheila said he was so MEAN he could not stay there because she did not feel it would be safe for the weekend people :scared1:. She explained that it took 3 of them to throw a towel over him so they could muzzle him and get his IV out :eek::scared1:. She told us how to give him his meds and what to feed him. I settled up the bill $654 and some change. This was less than they had quoted AND it included his Heart Guard :banana:. While I took care of the money end Dale went to the back to get Niko. Dale was talking to one of the techs and he mentioned the report of Niko being bad.........."BAD?" she asked, "He bite me TWICE this morning." :scared1::eek::sad2::headache:. We got him home then Amanda and I went to the grocery store. We got SOAKED. As I type Niko is laying in Dale's lap. I told Dale Niko getting kicked out of the vets office was sad, almost like a kid being kicked out of school because they were too disruptive.

I almost forgot. I got my camera yesterday. I haven't had much time to really even look at it. I have taken a few pictures, but I haven't read anything but how to put in the battery, SD card, turn it on, and snap a few pictures. I am going to spend the next few days learning all about it :surfweb:.


 
Yay for Niko getting to come home!!!! :cool1::dance3::cool1: Sorry he wasn't behaving, though--poor guy! And yay on getting your camera!!! You are going to LOVE it!!! :lovestruc

Thanks Becky. Looks like we are gonna be camping out in the living room for a couple of days, so we can keep our eye on him.

I am probably going to need lots of tips on my new toy so please let me know if I get too annoying with questions........lol.
 
Yaaay for Niko coming home!!!! Glad to hear it. Those weiner dogs are kinda mean, Cesar is like that when people try to pick him up, or I try to clip his nails, etc. so it must be a breed trait. On a lighter note, we're all booked for June!! But, they didn't have a treehouse available. So, I got a 2 bedroom at SSR for us, and will call back every week to check on availability on the treehouse!! So, I'll start my PTR tomorrow, was a little busy yesterday, and getting ready to go to sea world today!!! TTYL!!

Yay on SSR 2 Bedroom

I know you really wanted the treehouse, and who knows it may come open the closer it gets because people will be cancelling I'm sure.
I can't wait for the PTR to start. I am so excited for you. Have ya'll decided where ya'll are going to eat?
I hope you are going to put the SW trip on the PTR so we can see all the pictures. I am contemplating going over there when we come down. I think Dallas would love it.
Have fun. TTFN


 
I'm glad to hear that Niko is home. He will start to feel much better now. Our dachsunds would nearly starve to death and get mean anytime we went on vacation. Our neighbor hated taking care of them. :laughing:

Yay for getting your camera. It is a great one. You might check with local camera shops about classes. Mine has one for $40 that teaches you everything you need to know and more. You'll find that it has a great auto function though that makes it virtually Leanne-proof. :rotfl2:

He is still feeling bad, poor baby. I wanted to knock him out earlier though, he bit ME when I was giving him his pill. I got it down him finally.

I have been playing with my camera today. I have already decided I need a zoom lense :rolleyes1. I want to be able to take some real close ups and the lense that comes with it doesn't get as close as I want. I love the auto function and I can't wait to try it out on real stuff and not just my living room. We were going to go riding along the beach today, but it was still overcast and I was just wore out from the week.

I am suppose to go back to work on Friday and will be off next weekend so maybe we will ride to the beach then.

Hope you have a great week at work.
 
WOW....love new toys!!! Got the PTR started!!! YAAAY!!!! Just gotta upload photos so we can get that going!! :) Had a good time yesterday, once all those are uploaded too, I'll work that in somewhere!!
 
Yeah for Niko coming home and for getting your new toy! I bet you are as excited as heck that you are getting to go back to work on Friday.

Oh, I almost forgot.....I hope that Amanda keeps the wedding under $10,000.00. I was watching "Say Yes to the Dress" Friday night and thought about her. Those darned dresses are expensive!
 
hello! Dana
so happy to hear you have your camera
and I am really happy that Niko is home...we rarely leave our dogs or birds (MIL, SIL and us) we just feel once DX and meds given the animals just like us get well quicker with our love and attention. Brownie would be kicked out too or they would keep have to keep her sedated :rotfl2:. She is a biter!

that is funny about the Saints game! TELL DALE yes Danny and friends were watching!!we had invited some friends over the Thursday before the game and they did not know if he would be able to get off of work. Well they called us an hour before the game to say they were on their way :eek: so I spent the entire 1st quarter preping food!!!! running back and forth from the living room to the kitchen...I made deviled eggs**they were delish** but they were the ugliest eggs :lmao:I threw them together so fast... thank goodness I had planned easy stuff...we had meatball poboys, hot wings (tyson frozen), the eggs,.... I wanted a king cake but didn't think they were coming so I did not buy one for just us.

Have a wonderful day!!!!!
GEAUX SAINTS!!!! :yay: Deuce :yay: is back...it brought tears to my eyes that Benson and Loomis were big enough to sign him so he can have his Superbowl ring!!!!
:wave2: Connie

Hey Connie, I love my camera. I have been looking at the zoom lense for it and boy oh boy, they cost more than the camera :scared1:.

I was so excited about the Saints winning. To see Deuce on the sideline was cool. I told Dale I think it will be the Colts and the Saints in the Superbowl and it will be a fight because Payton will feel like he has to prove himself in against his Dad's old team.

This evening Niko started acting like himself again. I bought him a toy at the story Saturday. It is a little pig that oinks when you move him and tonight he is wanting to play with him and make us throw him.......:banana::dance3::yay::woohoo:.

Hope your day went good and the rest of the week is great. I find out Thursday if the doctor is going to release me for sure.

I don't know how I missed your post and Lisa's :confused3. Niko loves Porky(Dallas named him). It was nice tonight when he actually played with him and didn't just sit and look at him. I am heading over to your report asap. Can't wait to see the pictures of the birthday party and SW trip.




Yeah for Niko coming home and for getting your new toy! I bet you are as excited as heck that you are getting to go back to work on Friday.

Thank you Lisa, it is good to have him home and to have him acting normal again tonight. I can't wait to get back to work. It will make things seem normal again.

I looked at the Disney wedding dress collection and :scared1::eek:. They are beautiful and the few I looked at were VERY expensive. She says she is only going to spend $500 at most on a dress, but we shall see.



New Cameras are so much fun! And glad to hear that Niko is home. He bit you.... that darned little guy ;)

I love the camera. I haven't played with it much today, but last night I read up on it and played with it and it takes FANTASTIC pictures. I looked at lenses and boy was I :scared1:.
