I also had to work over the Holiday as my boss was out of town. We had 29 dogs and I was by myself! We had a couple of puppies who forgot they were housebroken, as well as a couple dogs who were very stressed and had diarrhea all over their kennels/beds, etc. I spent the entire Holiday cleaning POO. :(

I've also had a couple of sick dogs and a sick cat at home. Scottie has a URI, and Harley had the runs and got me up every 2 hours like clockwork one night. I had to be at work at 7 the next morning too, so just left him outside all day. Felt bad about that. Goose had loose bowels one day... but luckily got over it by night time.

Danny broke down at Dad's funeral and started sobbing. I thought we were going to have to find another pall bearer at the last minute! He was able to pull himself together for a bit tho... and broke down again after. It was heart breaking! The funeral was the day before the anniversary of my own parents' death... so I can tell you we both did a LOT of crying there for a few days.

I haven't had time to sit for more than 2 minutes lately, and no time to play online at work at all....

CALGON TAKE ME AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I worked on Thanksgiving.... Danny picked up turkey dinners to go so we could at least have a traditional meal.

This week is going to be crazy too... and next weekend is the Dog Show, and my friend Rachel is coming with Goose's dad and brother to show them.

Hopefully next week (after Dec. 1) things will calm down a little?! Man I hope so, cuz I am about to lose what's left of my feeble little mind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh.......... and also had to do some minor surgery on my foster dane.... had a cyst on her back that abscessed........ drained a quarter of a cup of gunk out of it, but it's healing nicely. Was just thankful I didn't have to pay a huge vet bill! Goose was attacked by one of the dogs at work too.... his leg swelled up and he could barely walk. Luckily the other dog's owner paid for his vet care.... I swear, if it's not one thing, it's another!!!!!!!!! (NT) -- V~, 5:23:13 pm, Sun, 11/25/07
I think if I had to go somewhere else to care for animals I'd rather not have so many at home to care for when I got home! You have your own kennel! Diarrhea in a Dane? Oh no! Bad enough with a Chihuahua! I'd have been gagging too V. What do you use on it now to get it to heal? I hope it's in a place he can't reach to lick or scratch, that will help. I'm confused. Goose was attacked by someone's dog. I was under the impression that you were working with homeless dogs? With as many as I have it can be one thing after another and you have way more!!! I'm sorry this is such a hard time of year for you and then to add your FIL passing to that. This is a hard time of year for a lot of people. Take care. (NT) -- Denise, 7:21:33 am, Mon, 11/26/07
Glad to see you back Vicki....Sure hope things start to settle down for you too at your house!! As you said, "always something"
please tell Danny we are thinking of him.... (NT) -- Kate, 9:37:06 am, Mon, 11/26/07
It does sound like you've been terribly busy but I hope things will calm down a bit for you. I agree with Denise that diarrhea in a Great Dane is not something I would want to deal with. I'm also sorry that this is your bad time of the year but you and Danny have eachother and can sit down, talk about your parents and cry together. Oh, and I've wanted to ask, how's the job situation going for Danny? Is he as busy as you are? (NT) -- Sandy, 7:37:49 am, Tue, 11/27/07
Danny is enjoying his job... much more than I am! The alarm goes off at 4:20 in the morning now, and then he's asleep by 7 p.m. (NT) -- V~, 9:23:11 pm, Tue, 11/27/07
Don't know how you do it woman. You need a huge vacation! (NT) -- Ramona, 2:37:26 pm, Wed, 11/28/07
