Mindless Chatter- Weekend

    Mindless Chatter- Weekend

    I'm going to go have a cookout with friends for lunch. Deer burgers and smoked deer butt (venison rump roast). DW has to work today. So, I'm going to save her a plate, either for dinner or for lunch tomorrow, as she has to work tomorrow, as well. Such is the life in retail. We're having the lunch at a co-worker's house that he has just re-decorated. I mentioned him briefly in another thread. He's the one who's blue merle wiener dog died from Parvo, largely due to malpractice at his vet's office. In fact, the problem was a substitute vet who later tried to cover her butt by noting on the records, the next day that they had refused the proper treatment due to finances. An out and out lie. The co-worker has $2,500 value on a care credit account. A credit card with a $3,000 limit and $5K in the bank. He's got more money than I have. No, they had just given him Parvo booster and sent him home. Anyway, he's not trying to get a new puppy out of them. He simply wants them embarrassed so that other pet owners do not have to go through what he as been through.

    Shadow is doing well on his new food. So, is Jade. She is not upchucking like she had been recently. I switched her to EP Anchovy, etc for cats.

    Nice cool mornings in the 40's F.

     Today I took Sandy to the agility field to let her run around and get used to the smells. She had a blast is and is now sleeping on Maze's butt.. (A rare sight.. Lol)

    I'm quitting my job today.. I can't stand it and I've only been there a week.. Tongue Tied They're not letting me do my job, I'm not getting the training I need to do said job and I've just had enough.. I've tried talking to the manager but that went far.. *snort*.. 

    *sigh* Time to make a phone call....

    I'm sick, and it sucks.

     I can't sleep, because I can't breathe. I'm exhausted - stressed to the max. I feel like my life is going no where..............gah. And it's starting to feel like no one cares for anyone else, but themselves....

    /end mini-rant.

    edited - apparently I cannot spell either.....

    oranges - you'll get another job, and a better one too! Oh - BTW, I tryed your dog cookies, I tweaked it some. I used canned dog food instead of the spices - Sam looooooooove's 'em! I think I'm gonna fool around with seasonings and flavors. Thanks for a good, easy to use base!

    As said above - I just finished dog cookies! Woo! I had Sam in the house and **calm** for 3 hours! Woo again! He was being a vulture and hoping that I'd drop the bowl! Silly dog. He did get some uncooked bits - and then more cooked ones! =]]

    Anywho - I wish I knew my Secret Santa person already! I'm going to a craft fair tomarrow and I'd loooooove to pick up something really cute there. Hmmm....I might just do it and hope that my SS will like it!

    Today I went to my friend's house after I took Brownie for a walk around the block, took Cuddles for a 30 min bike run and played with Possum. Lucky me that my friend wanted me to come over to help look after the doggies they were babysitting. No pics sorry:((

    Well they have 3 dogs already that they own. The yellow lab Sunny, the Dachsund Rocky, and the Teacup Chi Diddy.

    Then their aunt dropped off her 3 Chis. Brother and sister named Jack and Jill and Diddy's brother Pete(y). It was so much fun:)))

    Erica, everyone feels like their life is going nowhere from time to time.  Don't get discouraged, things will improve!

    I am getting sick.  This morning it was just a little sore throat.  Now, I've got a terribly sore throat, a cough, & the sniffles.  I probably should have took it easy today, but I didn't.  Bev & I went to Starbucks this morning.  He has learned to sit up on his butt from Schatzi.  She sits up on her butt with her front feet off the ground, when she wants someone to pick her up.  It works like a charm for her, because she's just too cute to ignore.  Bev, otoh, looks mental when he sits on his butt.  I really didn't find it too endearing that he was sitting up, with a silly grin on his face, staring at my cinnamon roll.

    DH, Bev, & I went to a carnival this afternoon.  We played games, & let Bev visit with all of the kids there.  DH won me a teddy bear, that Bev swiped from my hand.  He looked so disappointed when I told him to drop it.  I ended up giving it to him, when we put him back into the jeep so that we could ride the ferris wheel. 

    DH is going to be out of town all week.  I hate it when he's out of town.  At least I have the rest of the weekend to snuggle with him.

    I love that base! I'm adding salmon and tuna to my cookies next time I make them. It's always fun to tweak the recipe to make it yours. Smile Glad Sam liked them. I warned you that they're addictive to dogs. Stick out tongue Now in thanks I demand a picture of Sam enjoying his cookie. Lol

    Hehe, Ok! I added 3/4 a can of dog food to it, and garlic powder. He love's 'em! I'm going to make some with peppermint oil, and then possibly some honey and cinamin to another. I don't know - I love to bake thou, so that base will get plenty of use! I'll get some pictures of him chowin' down on the bone-shaped ones I made, the others are drops about the size of a dime to a penny. He does his tricks for those! Big Smile

     The garlic will help with fleas. I know it's an old wives tale but since I've added garlic to Maze's diet, I haven't bought flea meds in over a year. I haven't seen a single flea on her either and my roommate's dog got infested this past summer. Smile Ya never know.

    And Sandy has found her voice!! LMAO!! It's sooo little and cute. And she doesn't abuse the ability to bark. Big Smile For now...Tongue Tied

    I've got garlic pills - I just forget to give them out! LOL!

    Yay! Sandy can speak! Woo! I bet it's adorable!

     Her growl is soo cute!! High pitched and makes Maze look at her funny..Big Smile

    (hugs) to Erica - come to the East coast and our lives can do nothing together, *sigh*. I have one class this semester and I just wish it was Spring so I could get back to a normal class schedule.

    I love Bevo :) I wish we had more dobes like him around here - We have 3 in my obedience class and 2 are fat tick dogs. The 3rd is a red puppy, who is so stinkin' cute, but barks his fool head off the entire class, and wants to chomp all the little dogs, LOL.

    I forgot to ask everyone to keep their fingers crossed - BF had an interview last Monday for an assistant to a family court judge. It's a county position...with a SALRAY. A good enough salary that I'd only have to work part-time. Since BF wants to go to law school next year, it'd be a perfect job! So...fingers crossed please?

    I am off today, whoo-hoo! Gotta make dog food.

    I was awake until 3am, then I woke up at 9:30 and took a shower. I feel crapy - lack of sleep and cramps. Hopefully the painkiller I took will kick in soon. I'm going to the Holly Day Fair soon, hopefully I'll get some good stuff!
