Hello friends!
Its really been a quiet week around here considering, but I thought I'd share what the family did this week:
On Monday, the momma finally got to go see HER knee doctor and guess what?!?!? No, Not a torn ACL!!? Just a torn meniscus! The doctor wants to do surgery, but the momma asked him if it could wait until October 'cuz she has a BIG fundraising event coming up and he said, sure - you've waited this long! SO, she told him OK, anytime October 8th or after 'cuz Howl at the Moon and Wine is on the 6th and she has a LOT to do to get ready for that!
Tuesday was another day of litte sleep for the momma! She worked late 'cuz its meeting Tuesday. Then when she got home the people from the mobile car wash were already here so she had to wait up until they were done cleaning the BUV (BOY did it need it!!). My eye as been runny for the past week, but over the weekend, it also started gettin green boogers in it, so she called my eye doctor and they wanted me to come in at 12:15, so we did. I am happy to report that my eye pressure tested at 10 which is GREAT and I had normal tear production, so they concluded that since they didn't see anything IN my eye, that I must have gotten something in there that irritated it and then it got infected, so I got a refill on my NO GLAUCOMA drops and got a new new one for NO MORE GREEN EYE BOOGERS one! We didn't get hoe untl 145pm. At 4:45 Teddi went to the vets for her 4th Adaquin injection. Dr. Young is VERY happy with the way that Teddi is walking and thinks that if she tore her ACL, then its probably only a partial tear! :-) However, on the way home to come get us, the momma decided that she needed more sleep and she texted our friends to tell them that we weren't going to make it to the dog park! :-(
Wednesday the mom got to go pick up her new glasses!! She thinks they are AWESOME and says is like looking at an HD-TV all the time now! Then she came home and got us and we went to the park for an extra half hour to make up for yesterday.
Thursday, the guy from Restoronics came by and brought the dad his guitar and amp back and took he momma's puter to clean it (hoping it doesn't skip letters anymore when it comes back!!). Daryl from Schwan's found our right now house and brought the momma and the dad a gallon of Chocolate ice cream (Daryl is our driver from OUR house!!)! Then the momma went over to our house to meet Patrick from the contractor's office. He is going to help the momma design her kitchen so that it is PERFECT!! They talked and measured and talked some more and he told the momma that he'd have something for her to look at when she got to work tonight! When she got home the UPS guy delivered her Pampered Chef order! 2 big boxes of stuff to go thru and deliver to her friends and a 1 whole box of stuff for our new kitchen!! Of course she isn't going wait for the new kitchen to use some of the stuff (mostly the tools), but she did put some of the big stuff back in the box and put that in the garage until she abolutely needs it! By the time she was done seperating everything, she realized that we missed Teddi's appointment for her 2nd shot this week, so she called the vet to reschedule and off we went to the park! When the momma got to check her e-mails at work she saw that Patrick had indeed sent her some pictures of what her kitchen could look like. It didn't have the ovens or fridge where she hoped and the pantry was smaller, but it wasn't bad. He asked for her thoughts (BIG mistake, Patrick!) so she did. She asked him to move the ovens to the end by the door and to see if she could move the fridge next to the stove and a bunch of other questions. Hopefully he'll have time to work on her gianormous requests tomorrow!
Friday, was another late day for the momma 'cuz she had another meeting! When she left work she went to the bank and to mail a Pampered Chef order that came to her by mistake (should have been mailed to New Jersey!!). Then she went by to see the grandma for a little bit before coming home for a nap. She got up early so the guy could drop off her cleaned puter and so she could go have he hair done and deliver the rest of the Pampered Chef stuff to the ladies at the shop, andwhile she was there one of Stacies customers placed another order with the momma, so she now has to send out another e-mail asking her right around here friends to order some more stuff so she can get the rest of the things for her new kitchen (Crossing paws that they do!). Then we went to the park! Auntie Teri (Hula's momma) came over for dinner and coctails tonight and she brought the dad a bottle of his FAVORITE can't find it anymore Mango Martini mix! The dad was SO happy, that he asked the momma to stop and buy some vodka when they went to go pick up Carmen's BBQ! Boy does Carmen's have the bestest sauce! The momma gave each of us girls a rib bone to gnaw on and it was yummy!! The momma had margarita's and Auntie Teri had some kind of Rum Punch with dinner, then she tried the momma's Rita's (a mix she got from Pampered Chef - of course)! After dinner the momma put together the stuff to make potato salad and cole slaw for our picnic with the hounds tomorrow! By the time she went to bed she was beat!
Today we got up and packed our lunch and headed to San Francisco. We went to Stern Grove to meet Kewpie and Lulu. We arrived fashionably late (the momma blames the dad for taking forever in getting ready), but it was OK 'cuz Lulu's people got there right after we did! We had a great walk! Lots of sniffin and running! About 1/4 of the way through, a new family joined our play group! Ben and Donna brought 6 year old Scout to join us! She is BEATIFUL with a deep mahogany and white coat! We stopped at the picnic tables to get a drink and chat when another lady with anoher basset showed up looking for the momma! Her name is Hariett and she is the foster momma for a 1-1/2 year old boy named Wally. He was cute and super nice and he thought everyone was his friend (he didn't dislike anyone!)! His F.M. told the momma that he had seen an orthopedist who took x-rays and told her that his elbows were growing at differnt rates and that he has mild hip displasia, so she is to limit his exercise. But because she has stairs in her house, she's afraid that he's going to hurt himself worse, so she wants GGBR to find him a new foster/forever home! She sai that the Milo Foundation who is his rescue is willing to give him over to GGBR, so the momma told her she would talk to Cindy thier foster coordinator about getting an e-mail plea sent out. She also gave Harriett her e-mail address and told her to send her his bio and a picture. Then we had a picnic! I didn't care 'cuz I was looking for gophers, but Teddi and Sasha didn't stray too far from the table, so they got bites, but I didn't care 'cuz I was hunting!! :-)
After the picnic, we headed home and all of us hounds took a nap. The dad took his guitar to have it tuned up and restrung (the guys at Restoronics tightened his bridge(?) too much!?!?) and to have his car washed (guess he was jealous that our BUV was cleaner then his car!). He brought home taco's from a taco truck near the car wash. We got to have some of the momma's chicken in our dinners! Yum! Then the momma played on her puter all night trying to catch up on e-mails and facebook stuffs! Patrick did e-mail her and answered all of her questions. He told her that if she made the pantry bigger it would cost more and then she couldn't put the fridge next to it 'cuz then it would move the stove down next to the sink (not good). The pictures that he sent today showed the ovens next to the door and a desk next to the fridge. The fridge still isn't where the sink was, but I guess if they have to move pipes for the sink anyways, that it won't be that much more to move some to where the fridge is so we can have ice and water dispensers, right?!? I guess that's something the momma will have to ask Patrick tomorrow 'cuz as it is I barely got to use it to type this 'cuz she was hogging it so much! I had to wait until she had a margarita before she let me on! Geesh! How in the world am I supposed to keep my public aware of our exciting lives if she's hogging it all the time?!!? Well, I guess the good news is that I'm finally able to and the letters aren't skipping nearly as much as they were before!! Yay! I still have to proof read my stuff just to be sure, but it is WAY better!
We may go to the dog park tomorrow to meet our friend Higgs, but that is all that is planned for now. Well, that and calling Auntie Terri and wishing her a Happy Birthday!! :-)~ Hoping that this coming week is drama-free! The momma has a busy month coming up, but mostly on the weekends, so stay tuned for those adventures!
In the mean time, that's all for now! Thanks once again for the continued love and support!
Hugs! <3 (BTW - does that look like a heart to you?!?!?)
