4:47 pm - Passage of Mandy
|
At about 16:00 today Mandy was put to sleep. Mandy was with myself and my wife at the point of her transit. I was on the floor in the vets office with my head next to hers and body next to hers as I felt her pass.
Mandy had a very fast growing tumor and in the past 4 days things had gone south very fast.
Mandy is survived by Bubba, Lodi, Sammy, Ryan and Collen.
Mandy was 11 years 5 months old. May 23 1996 - Oct 17 2007.
Today tops the list of bad days, of the passing of my mother, Goober and Paul.
I find it very cruel joke that the what ever desided that dogs are so short lived.
current mood:  indescribable

6:15 pm - Time marches on.
|
This past weekend, was pretty good for getting stuff done around the house and things. Guess that is why there is a labor day.
On Monday, a few friends stopped by to say hello. To my GREAT shock one buddy was petting Mandy and found she has a large lump on the left side of her head.. I feel soo bad for not seeing or feeling it.. Honestly I do pet and hug her.. but I think perhaps it grew slowly and I just became used to it.
I took Mandy to the vet today. The vet feels its one of two things.. a broken tooth or a tumor.. Mandy isnt in pain as you touch it or stuff. We have chose to treat it with antibiotics to see if the mass goes down. if not we will try and make her comfortable until the end.
I have dreaded this .. but its here, Please please make it a bad tooth.

11:19 pm - Digging sucks
|
Today I spent the morning digging out a old drain pipe just outside my back patio.. I am soo out of shape. oh well, that is what I get for sitting infront a monitor on my spare time. Anyways , get the old pipe dug out with the pick and shovel, take the trash to the dumps and head over to home depot to buy a new pipe and some vinal lattis wow, that stuff is big $$ for each sheet of the style I like will cost 30 bucks, and I need min of 10 fricking sheets.
I get home after having to stop 3 times to tie the lattis to my truck better.. I put down the pipe and start to cover it in the gravel I bought yesturday (5 yards) and as I would go back out for more rock with the wheel berel my pup would help UN dig the fresh rock I just laid down. OMG he could help a few hours earler to dig up the pipe..
Tomorrow I will finish filling in the rock and then pull weeds and rerock more of our foot paths and stuff.
Monday I am expecting a few visitors.. so I need to finish up tomrrow with my plans for the three days off.

Today was a fairly nice albeit hot day for the pacific northwest.
Tomorrow I plan to have 5 yards of 5/8 rock dropped here so I can try and avoid some of the mud that happens with 6 large dogs during the winters in this area. This is my reason for the kennel I will build along with a place to house the dogs when I am not here.
Now onto a totally unrelated topic. I sometimes have spoke with folks that seem to not want to push though problems and bad parts of life, that is unfortunate for I for one can testify that is worth the effort to get past or at the very least try to get past the most tragic and bad things that life presents us. I lived a nightmare for many years, and in many ways still do but even I find good things to keep pushing forward, I so wish others would. It may look dark but there is always hope..
Onto a lighter note, I ate something for dinner lastnight that was making the dogs run for cover.. Pew, never though I could hold so much hot air LOL

6:22 pm - Hello again
|
I see its been over two years since I posted here.
Not rightly sure where to start, I guess with today. I have decided to build a actual kennel on my property. Going to contact some contractors to see what the costs are for the slab and footings.
Mandy, Well she is still alive but is very old and tired. Man it is soo hard to see.
As most everyone knows about a year ago, I lost a good friend.. I still think of him a great deal. I wish I could have seen the furture.
My work is going well..
I will think of more things and more in depth things to speak on soon.
current mood: mellow

Slow day again at work, only worked barly a half da :( that is really going to hurt payday.
My pups are doing well. Growing sooo fast.. its incredable. Wish I could figure out how to post pics to this thing. Perhaps someone will walk me through it.
My dogs are great also.. Mandy is carpet swiming behind me.. she is such a doll.
That is about it for now, for the most part my life is not thrills and chills.. actually kinda boring.
current mood: chipper

4:30 pm - Forward
|
Stuff was slow as ever at work.. Would be nice if he just laid me off. would make stuff so much easer when I get ready to boogie.
A friend my come by here this weekend, will be nice to have a friend stop off here. I really hate Miller beer.. I bought a half case of it and gosh, its takeing me a long time to down it.
I wonder how one gets more friends to add to their list.. I seem not to have alot.. That should not be that surprising to myself, considering who I am. I cant seem to escape it, oh well. Forward, don't look back.. just make a move.
current mood: hopeful

7:13 pm - The circle
|
It is so true that you really can not excape your past. Its a huge circle.. and always comes back around to SLAP you in the face.. over and over I get slapped.. but realy I doubt that will stop trying.. its just in my nature to wish to be accepted. I prob will go to my grave wishing I could change the past, undo the pain that I have inflicted.. but I cant.. I try to move on, but the circle just continues to present it self. There is a way, to excape it.. but some say only cowards and fools do such. am I.

9:52 pm - Rested/twisted
|
I will try and catch up a bit.. last week I had to work both jobs, and did my 2nd job on Saturday :( that comes with a bit of a story. for the week prior to last weekend, I had planed to visit a friend on Saturday.. so thursday I show up at my 2nd job and find out all the election ballot must be reprinted by Monday.. that left me with a choice, to leave that company hanging or be a man and help them out, I did the honorable thing. My friend understood about my decision and we have moved up our getting together to this coming weekend.
I have been getting really burned out on most everything. I feel I am getting old and just spinning my wheels here. I am giving some thought about making some changes.. I don't really know yet if I can manage to gather up the balls and do it. but I surly wish to. to have a life that is much less stressful but I would have to give up everything, except for my dogs. its a debate that I wafal over everyday.. If something would just make the decision for me, then it would be easy.

8:22 pm - Restfull weekend
|
Well, my week ended up about the same as it started.. working to much but with a lil change.. I caught a cold. ICK This weekend I mostly slept in late, snuggled with dogs, and banging the puter.
Seems we are going to war next week, Thank god, we need the price of fuel to come down.. and it will as it did in 91.
Next week, I will be working two jobs it seems.. I really dislike it. but the money talks so I just cant turn it down. I just hope it ends early.
I hope next weekend to go and visit a friend. Anyways I will keep you up dated next week.. Till then

11:52 pm - To much work
|
Sunday went well at the show. My club member were all very tired as I was, but we stood to get a check of 40k or so.. we well net prob 10k after all said and done.. still not bad for 4 days work. One Bloodhoud came down with bloat.. and was rushed to a 24/7 vet and was well after the surgery. One judge had a heart problem but still stayed in the ring like a trooper.
Monday, I did my 8 hours and came home and did my best to relax..
Tuesday, I work my normal job then did 5 more hours work at another job.. add on 2 hours of drive time.. that's a 15 hour day Ouch. I am kinda tired.. to say the least. looks like I will have to work Wed, and Friday at the "other" job and perhaps that will be it. I surly hope so.. I can use the money but it also keep my foot in the door at this other shop.
Goober, Dauc, Mandy and Chunky are all doing good. My wife tends to be very lazy as always.
current mood: drained

8:16 pm - Dog Show
|
One more day to go. Today was the first day of our all breed dog show. We have 1900 dogs and countless ppl. Today is my third day at it. Our club uses thursday and the day of friday to set up, on Friday night we do a Fun Match(twas no fun). Normally we have like 50 dogs show up at the fun match.. This year we had over 300! It was like putting on another entire show.. None of the club member got home before 10pm and we all had to be back at the fair grounds at 5-6 am all dressed and peppy.. I can say that we were all dressed, but peppy.. KNOT Tomorrow should be a bit shorter of a day.. for we dont have the judges dinner to attend. Its about cleaning up the ground and scampering home.
current mood: tired
