Hello Friends!
This has been a boring week. The momma AND the dad both yelled at Teddi on Monday night! She had that shot on Saturday and now she thinks she's all better and she was running in the house!
Monday, the momma got up and went for a massage and chiropractic adjustment. She said she felt like a limp noodle when they were done with her, so she came home, texted out friends that we couldn't come out to play and she went back to bed until dinner time!
Tuesday when the momma took her in for her 2nd shot, they asked how she was doing and the momma said "Too good!"! And then they both went to the momma's nail appointment (she had her nails painted a dark purple!). When they were done, they stopped by our house to see if Dave's crew was done with the asbestos abatement. Except when they got there Andre' from down the street was standing in between Leo and Steve's house, so the momma stared to ask him what was going on when she saw smoke!! Boy did THAT bring back some yucky memories and she started shaking! She just couldn't believe that was happening so close to home and so soon! She tried to get in the backyard to see what was burning, but she couldn't get the gate open. When Chad came over, she asked him if he could hop the fence, so him and Andre' did! Then the fire truck showed up and the momma told them that the gate was locked, so the first fireman kicked the gate down so they could bring the hose back there. Turns out it wasn't their house, it was their back fence!! Somehow it caught on fire and was starting to catch the behind them's neighbor's grass on fire, too! Big Steve thinks kids were playing with matches, but we don't know for sure! It sure shook the momma up, though! My fireman wasn't on the truck that came to put out Leo's fence. I'm glad 'cuz I wasn't there and I would have been sad to have missed him!
We ended up going to the park late, but we got to see our friends, so it was worth it except that Sasha got yelled at twice by a lady we'd never see before! She said that Sasha was biting her pitbull's face. The first time, the momma put Sasha on time-out until Dave told her that it was over a toy, so it wasn't really her fault, so the momma let her up. The 2nd time the lady yelled and told the momma she'd better keep an eye on her dog blah, blah blah so the momma yelled back, so they gathered up the pitty with a huge chain and left. When they were walking out, she said something about calling the city and we think she did 'cuz they walked around outside the park for a long time while she was on the phone to someone, and then they left. About 5 minutes later, a police car drove by, and the momma raised her hand to show him she was the one they called him about, but he didn't even slow down! Josh said that they probably just laughed at her when she told them that a basset puppy was attacking her pit bull! The momma said it's because they don't know Sasha - she thinks she's a pit sometimes!! After she started a fight with another new dog, the momma made us go home! She thinks that Sasha had too much energy pent up from not going to the dog park in 3 whole days! We'll see how she behaves tomorrow... Since we left a little early, the momma cooked the pepper steak that she had been marinating for 3 days! We got to have a taste and boy was it yummy!!
Wednesday, the momma was supposed to go to the knee doctor, so she got up early and took a shower. While she was soaking her head, his nurse called up and left the momma a message saying that he was in surgery and they had to reschedule until Monday! So, the momma went down to Gala Bakery to pick up the cupcakes for work. She hit traffic, so it took her 45 minutes to get there, but only 25 to get home. We did make it to the park on time, though, so that was good! Dave told her that they were done with the clean up an that we passed the air inspection, so the momma called up Doug, our construction guy, and told him the good news! He told the momma that we have a different project manager. They chose him over Bruce 'cuz he worked in our area so he could pay close attention to our house when the work started. He also told her that they were meeting at our house at 11am on Thursday to do the final measurements if she wanted to join them and meet the new guy. She said she would try.
Thursday, the momma worked late 'cuz of meetings and then she got up early to go meet our construction guys! She got there about 11:30 'cuz she didn't hear her alarm, but the new project manager was already gone and Doug was just putting the keys back in the lock box! Turns out they got there early. Doug did go back in with the momma and they checked out the house together. All the carpet is gone! The momma didn't think about that until later, but we thought they were going to clean the carpets in the rest of the house?!?!? We'll have to e-mail Doug later and ask him! Anyways, the momma said that the house looks SO big with none of our junk in there! The hardwood floors look good in the rest of the bedrooms, so she may want to think about sealing them and leaving them alone since us girls don't go in those rooms (well, except for our bedroom!)?!? Something to think about!
They took part of the ceiling from the living room down and there isn't one in the kitchen any more. The only thing left in the kitchen is the old tile floor that the momma and dad put down when they first moved in (before any of us girl were born!!) and some of the super old tiles that was down when they first bought our house! BOY was that stuff ugly! They think its from the 70's! The momma told Doug a couple of things that she was thinking for the kitchen, like moving the sink in front of the window, moving the fridge to where the sink was and making the window smaller so we could put cabinets in front of it. She also asked him if the wall that was behind the fridge was a load bearing wall or could they take it out? He told her that it WAS a load bearing wall, and if they wanted to move it at all, they would have to pay for an engineer to come in and that could be quite expensive, so they'll have to leave that wall alone!! Then Doug told the momma that with all of her changes and additions, that it would probably cost the momma and dad about $5,000. The momma thought that was great and Doug was happy, too!
Then the kids from across the street came over! They couldn't believe how big the house looked, too! Then their gram came over and and she was looking in the house, too and her and the momma caught up a little. When they went outside, Johanna and Jacob came over so they had to go see inside, too! The momma didn't get home until 1pm!! She had a quick nap and then Donn and her 2 basset girls came over so they could talk about a rescue calendar they are going to try to put together for GGBR!! I think Sasha and I can be in it since we are both GGBR alumni!! Then it was off to the park! I am happy to report that Sasha did not start a single fight today!! AND that our friend Jess showed up with her human Michael, who just got his license yesterday AND Auntie Susan and Kewpie were at the big dog park passing out carrots! I spit mine out 'cuz they weren't cooked, but Sasha and Teddi, Frisky, Jess and Meeka all liked them! When we left, the momma stopped by and picked up pizza at Centerville Round Table so she didn't have to cook!
Today, the momma had a bunch of appointments scheduled! She actually got home before the dad left for work for a change (that was a first!)! She didn't eat last night 'cuz she knew that she had to take a blood test this afternoon, but when she woke up at 12pm, she didn't feel very good, so she went early so she could hurry up and eat something! She felt MUCH better when she did! Jason from Resteronics came over to check out the momma's laptop. He doesn't know why it skips letters when she is typing,so he wants to take it one day next week for the day and clean it out to see if that will help! She sure hope so 'cuz having to type things over an over is driving us crazy!! That's also the reason why i looks like i can't type sometimes - its the puter not my thick paws!! :-)
So anyways - the momma had 2 other doctor's appointments and then Teddi had to get her 3rd shot and the momma remembered that we were almost out of dog food (heaven forbid!), so she called Auntie Sandy to see how much longer she was going to be open. She said she'd wait for us! SO we went and dropped Teddi off to get stuck in the leg and while they were doing that, the momma went and bought us food - Bison and Venison this time! Last time it was lamb, but Sasha seemed super finicky on it, but I digress... so when everyone is back in the BUV we head over to the Niles Community Park to help setup for tomorrow's dog show! We LOVE helping to setup 'cuz we get to run off-leash!! Well, we DID until Sasha let a chihuahua chase her WAY far away!! The momma was so mad at her, that she made all 3 of us sit in the BUV and wait for her to finish!! BAD SASHA!!
So on the way home, the momma had to stop and buy pancake batter for the morning! Turns out the guy that promised her to donate Batter Blaster back in March, left the company and forgot to mention us to anyone else!! Their nearest plant is in Newbury Park down by L.A., which is just a 5-1/2 hour drive ONE WAY from us! They promised to donate next year, though! Oh, good!! That will help us a LOT tomorrow!! OK, momma, I'll quit whining!! Sheesh!!
After the store it was home for dinner and to play on the puter! We have to leave here at 7am so we can go pick up the old neighbor kids!! Destiny, Marie and Johnathon will all be coming with us! Yay!! The Gram and pops are supposed to drive up for the day, too and Auntie Terri is supposed to come over the hill just to see us girls!! The momma said we're all going to dinner afterward!! What!?!?? Just the 2-leggers?!?!? Fine!! Just be sure to bring home some leftovers! Sheesh!!
Well friends, that's it for tonight! Thanks once again for the continued love and support!! Hugs!
