Reprimanded!

I just got a bit of a reprimand from my mom so I guess I'd better post! Sorry about my neglect. You see, first it was the weekend and then I went to Columbus on Monday and after getting home yesterday and playing with the dogs I had to go to the doc with Jimmy. So here we are...hopefully back to a routine...until the weekend again.

So Jim's appointment and health status: He's been struggling a bit. First he started a bit of a fever last week (99.something) but managed to stave it off and get through the weekend without any issues (and not on his meds). He started back up with meds on Monday and things were okay but by Tuesday he had a fever again and he didn't sleep well the night before. So...the new plan: He will now take meds every other day, starting tomorrow. He will switch how he takes his meds as well (the trouble maker pill will be switched to evenings). He will also take a regiment of ibuprofen to help with sleep and joint pain (2 PMs in the evening along with 2 regular) and then 12 hours later, 4 regulars). Hopefully this will work out. We'll call in next Tuesday to let Jill know how things are going and he'll go back in two weeks. He slept like a rock last night and felt good this morning...minus the dog bite he got.

Yeah, so Jim got up this morning and did his normal routine...let the dogs out, fed the dogs and with that, a fight happened. In breaking it up, he got bit and has a massive bruise and bite mark in the crook of his arm. I'll be working on a new routine with feeding so this doesn't happen again. It doesn't happen for me but Jim doesn't have as easy of a time feeding them as I do. And it happens AFTER they've finished eating so it's not a battle for food. Stupid puppies!

And Boo has some sort of issue with his back paw, which has nothing to do with the fight. He was favoring his right back paw when I got home yesterday and I thought it was his toenails. So last night, Jim and I managed to cut them but he's still limping this morning and not walking on it. I felt it and it doesn't give him pain with I squeeze, however, just behind his pad, I could feel a little nodule that the other paw doesn't have. SO!!!! I'll call the vet at 8:00...see what they say. UGH!

Today's plans: I will probably have to take the boy to the vet. I'll vacuum, mow the lawn and then hopefully enjoy a little sunshine. I need to start my list for going to PIB next week. Oh, and Mom's coming now too! Woot! Maggie and I were sitting around talking about going and how we wished Mom could come and Maggie said, "Lets call and just SEE if she'd want to come...last minute." So she sent a text and about 5 minutes later, mom said she was a go! Woot! She'll come up here Sunday, we'll head to Columbus Monday morning and then carpool with Maggie and Eva. We'll stay until Friday and Mom will head back to TN on Saturday! Can't wait!

And that's all I've got. It's about time for me to call the vet. Here's hoping they can fit us in and that it's nothing. My luck...it'll be something. UGH! K - I'm out. Later...happy Wednesday. It's Wednesday, right?
