I’m in for a long night.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
It took forever for Gavin to finally go into a restful sleep and that only lasted for two hours. He had a rough day at the Vet’s. He had an allergic reaction to the first medication they used and had to have more meds to make the hives go away.
He had a tooth extracted, his teeth cleaned, a mani-pedi, a deep ear cleaning, wart and skin tags removed, meds, anesthesia, and various other fees all totaling a massive $670.00. OUCH!
He’s had to pee almost every hour on the hour and whines to let me know. Must be all those IV fluids. He’s getting fussy again but he’s doing fine.
You all have a good one.

Snow…okay…but sleet and ice?
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I can tolerate snow as long as it doesn’t get into ‘feet of’ depths… Or would that be heights? Snow is navigable. Ice, however, is not. We have ice. Lots and lots of it. My car is coated with it.
I am supposed to take Gavin to the vet’s early this morning. I may call them and ask to postpone it. I really don’t want to drive on icy roads in my new car. Heck, the way it looks at the moment, I’ll be lucky to make it out of the driveway.
Keep your fingers crossed that the roads improve by 8 a.m.
You all have a good one!

I hate winter
Posted by doggonedmysteries
It’s getting more and more difficult to handle the months of November and December. I’d rather sit on a fire ant hill than leave the house for the two months. I only go out to get groceries and then try to get enough to last until February.
People are more rude than ever before. It is depressing as hell to have to deal with them. At least I manage to deal with them on my own terms.
Watching the Curmudgeon’s health fail and not having any family close by is miserable. The only sister I have left and I are estranged because of her nasty attitude. All of my cousins have their own families.
The holidays were all about family at one time, but when your closest family members treat you like dirt, it sort puts a damper on them. My dear, sweet cousins try hard and I appreciate them, but the season is still very painful.
To be honest, I have no idea why I worked so hard to survive when I had the heart attack. What the heck did I do it for, is the question that often runs through my head.

Will 2013 mean better TV shows?
Posted by doggonedmysteries
I quit watching the TV program Fringe when it went past the world of weird science and wandered into just plain weird.
I stopped watching Castle when I could say far too many lines before the actors on the new shows, not the reruns. Yes, it got that predictable.
I quit watching Burn Notice when they went into full-out violence and lost the clever factor.
I quickly stopped watching Person of Interest because it was far from interesting.
In NCIS LA I like Hetty (Linda Hunt) who has a very small part on the show. I don’t like the lack of heart but plenty of gun play the show doesn’t come close in the story factor that NCIS has. I never have warmed up to the rest of the cast. Therefore, I don’t watch it.
I refuse to watch reality shows.
Do you think that 2013 might just bring us real entertainment and not more dumbass reality shows? Oh, please, please, please!
You all have a good one!

If they can’t teach good sportsmanship, maybe they should get rid of sports.
Posted by doggonedmysteries
After game violence again. I find this revolting.
I for one think there is too much emphasis on sports and too little on the sciences, maths, literature, the arts and music. Maybe if top science, math, and literature students were treated more like the premium students they really are we’d have more nerds, fewer jocks, and an incredible number of intelligent people walking about.
Please, please, please let there be more emphasis put on learning than playing games.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if a child’s hero was a scientist, mathematician, literati, Artist, or a musician rather than some clown who makes millions running around playing with a ball?
Please, hand your child a book instead of sports equipment…we need smarter kids.
You all have a good one.
Blessed

I am not going to discuss the tragedies of yesterday. More than enough discussion has already been done all over the news and the internet. Let the healing begin.
Let us look into the blessings in our own lives. Did you wake up today? So did I and I am blessed because I did. Did you have enough to eat? I did and I am blessed because I am not hungry.
Did you have someone tell you they loved you? I did and I told him I loved him too. If you have children, did you hug them today? I don’t have kids but I did hug my dogs.
I took a walk…
I breathed fresh air…
I drove my car…
I E-mailed my friends…
My home is warm…
Yes, we are blessed.

Mish mosh of subjects.

The vitamin D seems to have done some good for The Curmudgeon. I did have him take extra on Tuesday and Wednesday he seemed to do very well. I’m looking forward to seeing if we get the same or better results next week.
Gavin has decided that it’s okay to yank my arm out of the socket when I take him out on the retractable leash. I put him back on a six-foot long training lead again. He’s not thrilled but at least the rest of the day he didn’t yank my arm off.
Patty didn’t want to play with Gavin today, she wanted to cuddle with her Daddy instead.
You all have a good one!

What is in the tapestry of your life?
Posted by doggonedmysteries
As we grow from childhood, to adult, and on to old age we weave a tapestry of a life, one would hope, that is well lived.
Each experience we have, lesson learned, and sorrow survived adds color and texture. The weave is either intricate or simple. The tapestry is long, short or somewhere in between.
I hope mine grows longer, more intricate, and continues to add plenty of texture and color.
What is your tapestry like?
You all have a good one.
Gavin, before meds and after meds.

He feels so much better now that all the swelling is gone from the bad tooth. His Vet will pull the tooth on the 27th. Both sides will match then since he had the same tooth removed on the other side a few years ago.

Holy Cow!
Posted by doggonedmysteries
When I began this blog as a lark, as a necessary evil part of being a writer, I never expected to keep it going this long and I certainly never expected to ever hit 90,000 hits on my humble little blog.
However, I did it. I’ve kept this blog going and I went over the 90,000 hit mark today. I am flabbergasted, gob smacked, elated, and just plain happy and excited.
Thank you. Without you stopping in and reading my nattering this would never have happened.
You all have a good one!
