an oasis.

I am glad it is Friday. It has been an extremely busy week at work and I still have to edit a sally photo session. Tomorrow I have my alcohol class for the Rocking V.

Sally went into the clinic today to get LOTS of stuff done. She had a small lump removal, and prep work for the big surgery…x-rays, urine test, bloodwork, a skin scraping to find out about her itchy skin and another mass removal on her gum that i didn’t even catch. Thank god for Dr. Deb. She has a very bad urine infection, that we know and the rest has to be sent off to labs. It was a big bill, but I just want my girl healthy and hopefully she will come back clean and we can get ready for the big one. I have to make another appt in two weeks, by then all the biopsy’s should be back and we will see if her bladder is cleared up. They put her on baytril. I feel relief. This vet is so thorough and amazing and OMG everyone lOVED Sally today. I had like 5 people on the way out tell me how amazing she was all day and how cute and yes! her wiggly walk is such a part of her charm, but she is in pain. So she will still be super cute walking normal… 😉 People love this dog….everywhere we go. I am so lucky she chose us.

On another note. I have had stomach issues since I was eight years old. The doc’s never knew what was wrong, the pain would come and go but lately it has been bad and I have been quite nauseaus. I think it is an ulcer. I am trying to avoid the doctor. I am not a fan. So i am looking into natural remedies. I thought as much as I walk that might help, but usually that is when the extreme pain starts, so hopefully once I start my second job, I might start the gym again and take yoga. Maybe that will help my heart issue as well. I don’t feel stressed, I just don’t know why I don’t feel good. oh well… I will try these natural remedies and new diet plan. blah

Going to Vegas on Saturday to see the boy. It is going really well. It is amazing how being kind and making an effort can make a difference. Sometimes long distance is just really hard, but we are trying…I guess that is all you can do.

My parents bought me these landrollers for my birthday and I haven’t had a chance to use them yet. I want to vary up the dog’s exercise, I think we are all getting bored. So I will skate, look for an inexpensive bike and keep walking. I am also looking forward to extending the yard to the deck, so we can sit outside and drink tea while the dogs play. You wouldn’t believe the setup I have now….it sucks. I will take document my deck progress. So that is what is in my head and my week. It was a good week, with the exception of not finding the dog that has been lost over a month, there was a sighting in my neighborhood, but with miles of looking…nothing. And my friend’s little cat got out, so i am making a poster for her in the morning. I hope she comes home. I know what it is like to miss a friend. Conrad did that to me when he was a baby. I felt like dying. Think good thoughts for my friend Hook.

woof.

On a better note. It only took me 8 months to realize I could hike the big red rocks by my house. I found my happy spot. I can’t tell you what a difference that makes. It is an amazing feeling and so good for me. yeah!
