Craziness!!

Savannah was fun, but it's good to be home. I missed my puppies. I had to work 7 - 3:30 on Friday...there were like 10 people standing outside of PetSmart at 6:50 when I got there waiting for the doors to open! Come on people what do you really think is going to happen at PetSmart. Some chick asked if we had any good deals while I was waiting to be let in. I just told her that I groomed dogs and had no idea what was going on. HA!
Craziness
After work I went to retrieve my precious babies. They were so excited to see me! Although...I think I was more excited to see them. I took them straight back to work as 3 days and 2 nights at daycare did bode well with smelly good dogs. They strongly disapproved of this "bath" I had to give them...but as Roo sleeps on our bed, it was a necessary evil. They came home and crashed...and really haven't moved much since.

Saturday we were slow as crap at work. I only did 3 dogs...I usually do at least 5, but I have done up to 7 to 9 on Saturdays..so that totally blew. Today was even slower, but I came prepared. I brought my ribbon to make bows with and pretty much made bows all day. Fun times!

Joke of the Day:
Q: Why aren't dog's tails 12 inches long?
A: Because then it would be a foot!

Happy Thanksgiving!

So here I am in Savannah GA with Andy's very small laptop. I guess I will take what I can get. We left Tuesday night after work to come down here at about 10 at night. We got here at 3:30 in the morning. Yesterday we hung out just relaxed. Today the house is filled with the aroma of a future turkey dinner. Andy's grandmother is cooking...I can't wait until tonight to eat it!

I just wanted to say hello to everyone and say Happy Thanksgiving!

Bad Day

Oh today was a bad day. I couldn't wake up; I finally dragged myself up and head out the door for work. I got there and my second dog pooped on itself twice! I had to rebathe it and everything... Then my pants tore, so I had to walk around all day with torn pants because Andy didn't have his phone with him so he didn't answer it to bring me new pants. At least the liner was black (same color as the pants). Almost all my dogs fought me...but I ended up with 6 dogs and finished them all on time.

I have my test tomorrow, so we will see how tomorrow is.

Joke of the Day:
Q: What happens to a green rock when you throw it into the red sea?
A: It gets wet.

JOKES

I am so slackin' on the jokes lately. Here are few to make up for them...

From Aunt Diane:
Q: Why did the Siamese twins go to England?
A: So the other one could drive.

Some more:
Q: What's brown and sticky?
A: A stick!

Q: Why can't a chicken coop have more than 2 doors?
A: Because if it had 4 doors it would be a chicken sedan.

Busy like a Bee

I have been busy lately..hence the lack of posts. Work has been picking up as the holidays come near, and I have a test on Monday that I have been attempting to study for. It has been insane!! I am tired and still sick...I have been sick since last Tuesday...I'm about over it.

I did 5 dogs today. Every single one of them was bad for at least one thing. Sheltie - bites for brushing of tail. 1st Shih Tzu - whined and screamed just for having to stand on the table and squirmed like worm. Poodle - bites for nails. 2nd Shih Tzu - bit me just for petting it and then had giant red/raw butt which had to be sent to the vet (not my fault the dog was matted and had poop matted onto it's butt trapping bacteria...which I know you all wanted to know). 3rd Shih Tzu - matted on legs and bit and scratched for dematting.

My arm looks horrible from all the war I have endured today.

Emotionally I feel weird today. I don't know what it is. I am tired and feel defeated...eventually it will pass.

Couch

Well last night we got a new couch and chair. We lost some seating and the dog's aren't really thrilled as they don't have as mush room. But I like it, there is more space in our living room now. And the old couch was gross anyway. Here are a few pictures...don't mind the crazy look in the dog's eyes.

Woohoo!

Bored

Tv is my friend. Pretty much all I have been doing is watching tv all day...and working. However, today there is nothing on tv...NOTHING...the most exciting things is the Amazing Race...and I don't like it. The Wizard of Oz is on, but it was on last night and I watched it then. I think I am just going to turn in early tonight.

I have tomorrow off and so does Andy. We will hopefully be getting a new couch. It's pretty. Hopefully the dogs won't tear it up. We can only see...it can't get any worse then the crap of a couch that we have now.

My toe feels better today. For those of you who do not know...two days ago I came home from work and my toe was asleep...the only problem was it never woke up. For 2 days it was tingly and numb. I guess today it decided to wake back up. Woohoo!

Joke of the day:
Q: If a athlete gets athlete's foot what does an astronaut get?
A: Mistle Toe.

blah...

So I have been sick for the past three days. It started Tuesday morning, and got worse as the day went by. By the time I went to bed, I literally could not breath out of my nose.

Wednesday morning I was still sick and opted to rest and not go to school. Andy and I then went to my mom's house as it was Andy's birthday and my mom made him dinner. We played Wii (with all the strength me and my mom could muster...as we are BOTH sick) most of the night. Aaric, Noelle and Chase also joined us. We had homemade veggie beef soup and cheesecake. Went to bed still sick.

This morning I was still sick. I took the dog's to day care, and went to work. My coworkers told me to go home...so I did. I took some wonderful medications and slept until 1. Watched t.v. and eventually went to go pick up my dogs. I feel better though as two days of rest and medication is helping. Hopefully I will get better as the night goes on.

Joke of the day:
Q: What did one casket say to the other casket?
A: Is that you coffin?

Events of the day

I had to pry myself out of bed this morning. I so did not want to get up. I could have slept until 2 if I could have. School was no fun and uneventful, but I did make it through the class...

I went to Wal-mart today and was successful there. I am now done with 3 of 10 people to Christmas shop for. My goal for the year is to not buy a single gift card...so far so good. I also bought frames for the pictures that I had gotten of the dogs. But the most important purchase was of the memory card adapter. I can now upload pictures straight to my computer so I can put more pictures up.

After Wal-mart I took the dogs to PetSmart because they smelled like donkey butt. They dislike having baths, but it is a necessary evil. They now smell fresh and clean. Then the 3 of us headed to Mom's house. I got free dinner (thanks Mom!) and the dogs had a great time. Deuce is finally starting to calm down and feel secure. Dad even got to scratch him! He has never let Dad do that, so this is great.

Here are some pictures for you!

These are the cats: Ivory and Sammy

This was our outside Halloween decorations:

This is the devil: Chiquita

This is our new living room I talked about earlier!! The cage use to have the backside against that big window..

I also was made aware that I forgot to do a joke last time...so you get 2 today!

Joke of the day:

Q: Did you hear about the cat who swallowed a ball of yarn?

A: She had mittens!

Joke of the other day:

Q: What do you call a guy who never farts in public?

A: A private tutor!

Time Change

I really dislike the winter time. I hate daylight savings time. It totally screws with your system. You get used to a time and then OH! let's go change it. Dogs do not understand this time change business, so you must get up earlier (unlike the summer when you get to get up later)...and then it's freakin' bright as crap outside at like 8. And then it is pitch black at 7. It is very annoying...I just had to get that off my chest.

Andy and I went to Chris's house last night. He was having a party. I don't really go to parties and last night just proved that I still don't like them. I don't drink, so that might be a part of it. It was cold outside...they had a fire...and at some point the grass caught on fire. However, we were at a firefighter's house, and about 70% of the people there were firefighters (however intoxicated), so I felt a little safer. It was fun up until the part when I wanted to go home, and my lovely boyfriend did not. So I left him. I got home about 1:45 or so... I still haven't heard from him...I'm sure he is fine though.

I am excited about one thing...I might be getting a new couch (well new to me, but a used one). So this is very exciting. Nothing else is that new...I am on my last vacation day of the year...so I must go fill the day with something to do!

Busy Day

Today was an interesting day. It started off with me haveing to take both dogs to the vet by myself. Deuce was expired on his bordatella, and needed it to go to day care. So we went and I somehow managed to keep them both under control. I then took them to daycare and went to work.

At work we had to deal with Pete all day. Pete is the District Manager of PetSmart. He came in a few times, but we had to make sure we were doing something and that everything was labeled right, and swept and cleaned. It was exhausting. He came at 10 and didn't leave until 5. He said (jokingly) that I complained too much, but I was merely trying to explain to him why we don't like the bathing system that we use... he ended up buying us two large bags of candy! It was awesome. I even told him some of my wonderful jokes...

Andy also figured out that he has the Wednesday before Thanksgiving off, so we are going to Savannah to see his family. This means we must board the dogs. Roo has been boarded before, but this will be Deuce's first time. I called and made the reservations, and asked for them to be together. We will have to see if it works out. They are going to be boarded at the same place that they go to daycare...so it shouldn't be too bad.

Joke of the day:
Q: If a dime and a quarter were on the Empire State Building, which would jump off first?
A: The dime, because it has less cents.

Today

One day Andy will somehow get my computer so I can put more pictures on here! I got my nails done yesterday, and I got a paw print put on each of my thumb nails, and they are so cute...I would really like to show you but...you will just have to wait.

My parents came home today!!! I am so excited. I saw them for a mintue. I only got to go home for my lunch break because I had to register for classes. I will go back tomorrow with the dogs and Andy!

And as mentioned earlier, I registered for classes today. I have Differential Equations and Modern Algebra II. Doesn't that sound like fun? You know you are jealous. If all works out as planned, I will graduate in one year...at least that's the plan.

And as requested...

Joke of the day:
Q. What does a dog call his father?
A. Paw!

Trick nor treat

Yesterday was Halloween, and as expected, we had not a single trick or treater. We did have a knock on the door...but it was the neighbor asking if I got any kids show up. I told her no and that last year I didn't get anyone either. She told me that she didn't even see any kids walking around the complex. It was sad. I guess they all went to actual neighborhoods to get candy. So Andy, Chris and I ate all the starbursts and played Wii. It was fun, but the computer whooped our asses. Lame.

Today was busy. I did 6 dogs, 4 of which were large. I broke my glasses (the nose piece)...and left an hour late. It was not so much fun...but hey, I left with $20 in tips.

I came home and walked the dogs. I explained one more time that Deuce is not a Great Dane, but a Cane Corso to a very nice man. He laughed and said everything Italian was expensive...I agreed. :) I also worked on their training. Deuce is supposed to learn to ignore a treat when I tell him and also lay down on a hip...he learned both within 5 minutes. Roo on the other hand is slowly (and I mean slowly) learning the "light" command. But as far as training goes, they are both doing well.

And here is a joke for you:
Two goldfish were in their tank. One turns to the other and says, 'You man the guns, I'll drive.'

HAHAHA...you know it's funny. :)
