Ten Peeves that Dogs Have About Humans

Ten Peeves that Dogs Have About Humans



'1'
Blaming your farts on me.....
not funny... not funny at all !

--------------------------------------------------
'2'
Yelling at me for barking.
I'M A FRIGGIN' DOG

--------------------------------------------------
'3'
Taking me for a walk, then
not letting me check stuff out.
Exactly whose walk is this anyway?

--------------------------------------------------
'4'
Any trick that involves balancing
food on my nose. Stop it!

--------------------------------------------------
'5'
Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons.
Now you know why we chew your stuff
up when you're not home.

----------------------------------- ---------------
'6'
The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw.
You fooled a dog! Whoooo Hoooooooo what
a proud moment for the top of the food chain.

--------------------------------------------------
'7'
Taking me to the vet for 'the big snip',
then acting surprised when I freak
out every time we go back!

--------------------------------------------------
'8'
Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests.
Sorry, but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.

--------------------------------------------------
'9'
Dog sweaters. Hello ???
Haven't you noticed the fur?

--------------------------------------------------
'10'
How you act disgusted when I lick myself.
Look, we both know the truth. You're just jealous.

--------------------------------------------------
Now lay off me on some of these things.
We both know who's boss here!
You don't see me picking up your poop do you?

EVERY DOG HAS HIS DAY.
A DOG ALWAYS OFFERS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

Hello.. Friday

It's been awhile since I blogged, mainly because of my computer. It's hard to type and try and keep the power cord connected.
It's been a beautiful week in Ohio, warm temps, sunshine, but they say a cold front is coming thru and freezing temps once again by Monday. Oh well, I will not complain, after the week we have had.
David and I have our CPAP now. Last night was the 1st night using it at home. It was a little tough but we will get used to it. I am hoping it makes a big difference in our health and energy. I was having some very critical heart problems while I was sleeping and on a verge of a heart attack, so this CPAP, is hoping going to correct that.
Yesterday we did yard work, mowed the grass, weed eated, etc. I fell outside. Dang neuropathy. I am really stoved up and bruised today but don't think I broke anything.I fell over the lawn mower.
Today is my babies birthday. He is 27 today. Hard to believe. He is such a sweet young man, and has the sweetest wife ever. I am very proud of them. They live in Arkansas, where he works for Walmart's home office, and she is a pre-school teacher.They just bought their 1st home, and got their 1st furry child. They got a little yorkie, named sarge, so darn cute.

This is my son, Jeremy and his wife Amanda.



This is Sarge, their furry child.



I can't believe that Brook is still on American Idol. She is a sweetheart for sure, but not that talented as singing. I sure hated to see Carly leave. My favorite is the 2 David's, with David A my favorite.
Also was so happy to see Grey's Anatomy back last night, also "intestine's in the hand's" is kind of gross while trying to eat Taco Bell...LOL.. Ok, who else wants Meredith and Dr. McDreamy back together? I sure do. What's with Callie and this other doc?
Well, I am gone for today. please let me know you were here. I love comments!!!
Please pray for the sick, and also the military!

God Bless~

Toothache!!

OH MY GOODNESS!!! I have the absolute worst toothache. It's in my back molar, and the tooth in front of it. I knew it was coming as I broke the tooth off a few months back. I am in agony right now. I have taken 4 advil and no relief. Both teeth need pulled. I had some amoxicillin around here, so I started taking it this afternoon, in case the teeth are abcessed. I ate oatmeal for supper as I can't chew. Geez, it's always something...lol
We had our titration sleep study last night at the hospital for the CPAP machine. I need the nasal one but David requires the full mask. I am glad that I can do the nasal one. They will be sending out the company who supplies David's oxygen to get us all set up on the machines. I am praying this makes a difference in our lives. I am optimistic it will. The test last week also showed I have a leg jerk disorder also in my sleep, along with the heart irregularities. I am praying this CPAP makes a good difference in all that.
The weather is getting warmer and the flowers are blooming. My tulips are bloomed and just beautiful. I just wish they lasted longer. As soon, as we know we will have no more freezes, I want to plant some more flowers, if my body will allow it. I just love pretty flowers.
Well, I am going to close now. I will end with a scripture I love.

Phil 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengthenth me.

God Bless and thanks for stopping by my blog!!

My computer and sleep study results...

My computer is having major issues. I so need a new laptop, but no money for one. Dang lately, no money for nothing.. With me on disability, which is very small amount of money, and David on short term disability, there's no money around here. It's getting quite scary. My laptop is missing some keys which I can handle, but now the power pin is going bad. It's not the power cord, but the actual computer. It doesn't power up very well. Oh well, enough complaining...LOL..
The hospital called and David and I both need the CPAP machines, so back we go for another overnight study with the CPAP titration tomorrow evening. I am hoping that doesn't require me to have another unwanted ER trip. Keep your fingers crossed. I am so completely stressed out over finances, health, etc, that I am in a real good fibro flare up. Last night I had the worst charlie horse ever in my sleep. It woke me up, and I walked and cried for 2 hrs, then couldn't go back to sleep.
Please keep all the sick children in your prayers and pray for our military. I have 2 son in laws in the military.

God Bless~

Debbie :o)

Tuesday update

We went to the doc this morning, David to find out about his shoulder MRI and me to tag along to see if he'd say anything about my ER stay. David's MRI showed tears in his shoulder, but not full thickness tears, which is good. Also showed to much fluid in his bursea, arthritis, burstitis. He gave David a cortizone shot in the shoulder and gave him some exercises to do. We are going to try that 1st. He said it was NOT a surgery case, which delights us!! Also put him on Darvocet for pain. The percocets made him talk out of his head!!
Now me, he said that it's not a usual thing to have what I had in my sleep, the trigeminy(sp?), esp since it lasted so long but that he was anxcious to get the sleep study results back to see what I was doing while I was sleeping, when it was occurring, to see if maybe it had something to do with it, like I was strangling, etc. We will wait and see. We have a appt with him again on the 29th and one on the 30th with the sleep doc. Will be interesting to find out.
Today is cool but sunny and pretty. I am still quite tired although, and feel a need for a nap. I just wish I could start feeling better and have more energy. Our financial situation, is killing me, for sure.
Keep our military in your prayers please.

Love,
Debbie :o)

Nothing is ever easy :o(

Well, we went for the sleep study last night. We get there on time. The take us to our rooms, David was across the hall from me. It's a OK room, not the Hilton by no means, and she says there's a TV but my remote is missing, so if I wanted to change channels, I'd have to do it the old timey way...LOL.. That's ok with me, I just turned it on TLC and was fine. I change into my night clothes, brush my teeth and about a hour later, she comes and gets me to attach all the wires. I told her I never even got to say good night to David and she gave us a few minutes alone in his room. Of course he was laughing at me, said I looked silly, all wired up, but I knew he'd soon look funny himself. I kiss my sweet hubby, and say goodnight and go to my room, take my sleeping pill and crawl into bed. The tech comes in attaches a few more things and says goodnight. I fall asleep in a hour or so, and at some point she announces on the intercom, for me to get on my back and sleep for a while, which, I did. I asked her if she'd come unhook me so I could go to the bathroom, she does, and I crawl once again back in the bed, and she reattaches the wires. I have no clue what time it is, but it takes me awhile to go back to sleep. Then all of a sudden, I am sound asleep, she comes running in the room, saying, Debbie, we need to rush you to the ER. I am half awake now, still sleepy from the sleeping pill, and she is pulling wires off me and puts me in a wheelchair. They ask if I would like them to wake my hubby to go with me. I said what is wrong? Apparently my heart was doing some very strange beats, which she said had been going on for awhile, but when it lasted 9 mins, she thought it best I rush to the ER. The ER hooks me all up, starts a IV, OUCH, and does a EKG and a chest XRAY on me. At this point, my heart is being good, so after all my labs come back, they call my family doc and he says I can go home, but to follow up with him. David has a appt with him in the morining, so I will tag along and see what he says. I tell you there's nothing like, being able to finally sleep, and to be woke up, so abruptly. Oh well, things usely do not go smoothly for me. I am alive and home, so I am thankful for that.

The furry children were so happy to see us. They did well, but looked at me like, Mommy, don't leave us overnight again.LOL. We will if we have to be titrated for the CPAP. We go on the 30th to find out the sleep study results.

Me all hooked up, David took this on his cell phone, so not a good pic.



I hope everyone had a wonderful Sunday evening and Monday!!

God Bless~

Sleep Study

Well I will be leaving in about 20 mins to go to the hospital for my sleep study. I sure hope I sleep. I never do. If you read this, say an extra little prayer that I sleep for them, as this is a $3000.00 test. I know I need to find out what is causing all my sleep problems for sure. David also has one with me, so the poor 4 dogs will be lonely for the evening. I am sure they will voice their opinions in the morning, when we arrive home. LOL.

Until later~

Lazy Saturday

Today was a lazy one for sure. Stayed in my PJ's all day long, read blogs, watched I Love Lucy reruns all evening, and cooked a breakfast for supper. It turned COLD again in Ohio, and I want Spring to come and stay! I am a South Carolina girl, where April means, warm temps, blooming azaleas everywhere, so freezing day time temps in April, is hard to get used to. I have been here 10 yrs next month, but still not used to the weather. Some days although, when I am having my mid life HOT FLASHES, also known as "my own personal summers", I welcome the colder air...LOL.

Bitzy had done with house training all day until just now, she left me a pile of poop, so her butt is outside. Oh how I wish she'd be done! I am a germ freak, and with her going potty in my house is not helpful. I have 4 dogs, and none of the others do this. Baby did, a few times when we 1st got her, but she has come around quickly and nicely.

Tomorrow night, David and I are in the hospital, sleep study ward, to have sleep studies done. I am nervous, I haven't been in a hospital as the patient, since 1996. It's just overnight, so hopefully it will go fast. I just hope I can sleep. I will be taking sleeping pills with me, they said I could take 1 after they get me all set up.

Well, that's about it. God bless each and everyone of you.

Debbie :o)

Spring finally arrived in Ohio!!!

Today was wonderful, cool, highs low 60's and sunny. We spent a good deal of the day outdoors. Sure does do a body good, to feel the warmer sunshine on your skin, instead of snow and COLD air. We went to the grocery, got a few steaks and a few taters and cooked out on the grill. It was fabulous!! Oh how I love spring and summer. Makes me miss South Carolina even more. Of course as soon as the sun sets, the colder air moves back in. The dogs loved it too. They played hard and all 4 are now worn out and asleep...LOL. We are working hard on housetraining Bitzy. She's a stubborn little girl.I had never had a dachshund until we got Baby last October, and now Bitzy, so I didn't know they were hard to housetrain. My other dogs, the boys, never have messed or peed in the house. I need to set up a appointment to have Bitzy spayed. All the other 3 are. Well Baby is spayed and Bart and Bucky neutered. I listen to Bob Barker...LOL.. "Have your pets spayed or neutered".

David had his MRI on his shoulder from the fall and it showed several tears in his rotater cuff. He goes to the doc on the 15th to see what's next with that. Anyone ever experienced this? If so what was the treatment course? I hope he can avoid surgery with the COPD. He is in a lot of pain although. Can't do anything with his right arm, and of course he is right handed.

Well I am done for tonight. Everyone have a wonderful week!!

Love,
Deb

April fool's day

OK, watching American Idol.. See ya!!!
