He's a cat dog...

Since Thal/SFL was so completely disgusted by my posts yesterday. I thought that I'd post him something that might entertain him a little bit more.

Today was a long day of cleaning, laundry, errands, and this afternoon will be Zumba, teaching dog class, and seeing my sister's sister-in-law Becky.

I think that I have the rest of the car stuff sorted, Yeah!!

I got Torque a reservation at the kennel close to where I'll be for my reenactment in about two weeks (I can't wait!). I'm a little nervous for Torque because he hasn't ever been to a real kennel before. Although at least he's been boarded before just not in a true kennel. It's only for two full days, he'll be fine, and I'm close enough to get him if anything goes wrong.

ROFL

Ok, I'm on a roll finding the songs I love that we do in Zumba, and here's another - this one I spend the whole dance cracking up - seriously.

Top of the Hill Day!

It's true posting a Spanish song - do I know all the words? Nope. It's still a beautiful song, and you can enjoy it without knowing any words. We usually cool down to this song in Zumba, and I wanted to find who did it cause I'm having a song obsession! Enjoy it!!

Marrow bones and Spatzle

This morning after a grocery store run I put Torque into a down on a towel in the kitchen, and let him have at a frozen marrow bone. You know, the raw bones from the butcher? Technically speaking I'd like a larger sized bone so that I don't have to worry about him swallowing it, but the bones available are smaller. Fortunately, I was standing in the kitchen making the most wonderful brown sauce you've ever tasted, so I watched him like a hawk. For smaller dogs people will give a marrow bone as a substitute for a meal. Not so for the beast. You only given them marrow bones once to twice a week at most.

As for my plans, well I'm eating homemade Spatzle and brown sauce...and then I can collapse into a food coma!

For WOT...

The Adventures of Pork and Torque!

I have found the perfect kid's book series!!

We started calling the pig Pork which is hillarious next to the dog Torque. Thus, Pork and Torque was born.

I'll ah, let you know how it goes ;-)

Simple minds, simple pleasures.

On the Mend

I'm not working this weekend, and it feels so weird.

I wish I was...sorta.

I'm definitely still sore, but I've been managing well with Motrin and hot/cold packs. Unfortunately there's no way I'd make it through a 14 hour day of standing and lifting. It stinks though, because it's not like I'm spending the weekend doing something fun (i.e. hiking, canoeing, letting Torque play, getting together with friends), no I'm at home sitting on the computer, or watching TV.

I will say that I'm glad today is my last day to go feed the farm crew. While it's been fun this has been a bad week for it, and its almost an hour each way. I won't miss that! Tomorrow they get home and will pick up Rooty too. Yeah!!! One more thing back to normal.

I'm hoping to know Monday if the car is actually totalled. Seeing that there is a whole in the side of my car it seems likely, however there is a chance it won't be. In that case I don't know what will happen because it would need such extensive work. It sucks that I'm missing agility class Monday because I can't haul Torque in the rental car. Oh well, we'll wait and see.

It's been fun having DOT here to help me. She's made dinners, driven with me to the farm to feed everyone, and generally just hung out. She heads home today to get back to her hubby, and all the work she has there. We will miss her - her visits are great!

Ok, more later I'm sure!!

Something about me says "hit me!"

This is my car now...Whaaaaaaaaaa

Thanks jerk who hit me going entirely to fast.

Insert more crying here...I'll keep everyone updated!

Call it immature if you want

Nothing is better than walking out of your patient's room and seeing Ken.

There is a rather long story about Ken, and it has to do with another one of our Fellows who was bringing a Barbie to work as a joke and sitting her down in the break room. Thus, this week Ken arrived, and has made appearances all over. Of course we have to keep him on the D.L. aka out of the sight of parents and patients.

Sorry that this is a bad picture, but Ken even came on rounds with one of our Docs. See him there in his jacket pocket? Hehehe!

Wherever his nose shall take him!

Little Rooty is cleaning my house. He really does root the carpet looking for left over treats, or any food that may have fallen. He does this little grunting noise as he walks around, it's hillarious!

That's my bone!

Oink! Oink!

I'm doing one of my nursing friends a favor by going over to their house everyday and feeding all their animals, I'm also keeping their baby pot-belly pig. His name is Rooty, he's about 9mos old right now, and my crew doesn't know what to think of him.

I barrikaded all the pig's stuff in the bathroom so Torque can't get to it. Rooty uses a litter box, and I've been told that the way to a pig's heart is through his food!

Yeah, sorry buddy, Torque just wants to check you out!

More pictures and stories to come soon!

New Olympic Sport.

In honor of going canoeing today, I am posting one of the funnest videos I've seen in awhile. A friend found this, I take no credit. However, I will say that since this guy came from where SFL use to work I think that SFL should consider this as a sign for what his new hobby should be. Just saying!
