rant about bad pet owner

ok - because this bothered me so much - I just had to post. There is some JERK is see driving on I-10 every now and then that has a white Toyota pickup. He has a beautiful Boxer who he makes ride in the bed. if that wasn't bad enough all on its own, this morning while it was 39 out and pouring rain I saw him pass me on the free way. he must have been doing around 85mph. The poor boxer was in the bed of the truck - FREAKING OUT - because of the wind rain and cold. I started to cry. ok, ok...not just cry. I started to ball my eyes out. I wanted to pull this guy over - pull him though the window of his truck, strap his ass to my roof rack, put the poor boxer in side of my nice warm dry cargo area of my explorer and drive down the freeway at 85 and see how the ass hole liked it. my god, I am sorry but this bothered me to no end. you could tell how freaked out she was and she would shake the water off, my heart broke this morning. it truly did.

wow

so - its been a while.  not sure if I still have any readers left.  might get some new ones I hope.  This summer was full of personal strugles that kept me from writing.  Life has gone back to normal now.  well, I shouldn't say normal cause that means they went back to the way they were.  Life had become something that makes me happy once again.  I have my family back together and I have my heath and I have my job.  not much more I can ask for.  With some outside help my personal life has begun to heal.  Dozer has had some health issues in the latter part of this year.  this summer we had two very scary weeks of vet visits and shots and pills.  He had an allergic reaction to something.  They told us to bring him in for test after he had been off the benadryl for 30 days.
  well life kicks in and we forgot to schedule the tests.  So when it came time for his shots in november I was going to have then do it, but they gave him a shot of benadryl to prevent any reaction to the shots he might have.  there goes our chance for the test.  Then a few weeks ago we had another round with the hives.  I gave him the benadry and they went away.  The next day they were back, but this time he could not swallow the benadryl.  His tongue had started to swell.  it was very scary and we rushed him back to Valley Animal hospital.  they gave him some more meds and sent us on home.  he has been fine since.
  so Bryan and I have decided to rip out the carpet in the house, use only pet safe cleaners and invest in some liquid benadryl.  it is part of his life that we will just have to look out for.  otherwise he is a happy bouncing boxer at a year and a half and 50lbs.  doesn't look like he will get much taller, but should start to fill out.  he is a little guy, but that's fine with me.  I promise that I will be better about keeping up with the updates and I will not go MIA if I can help it. 

vet visit

We are on our way to get my little man. He was bitten by something. A very scary experience for any pet parent. Hope my baby is ok.

Well...had to take dozer to the vet hospital...they are keeping him for a few hrs. We think he got bit by something. My poor baby's face is all swollen.

Update for May

Mom had surgery yesterday - seems to be healing ok.  I have a lot of dr's appointments coming up next month.  I have to get some dental work repaired tomorrow, that should be fun.  I will try to be on here to update more often, life has been crazy lately.  Change is sometimes needed and it is time I had some change in my life.  Need to get back on track, focus on my goals and move ahead with my plans for the future.  I need to get my ducks back in a row - they are running amok.

update

Sorry fans - I have been rather ill - still kinda am.  But I have to see a lot of Dr's and what not so we shall see what they say.  Dozer is on his way to being 11 months old and almost 50lbs.  He is such a good boy, and getting bigger by the day it seems.  I love watching him play and run around.  I hope you enjoyed the pictures yesterday, he is such a clown when the camera is out.  I am not down 40.5lbs with my weight loss, have 15.5 left go to - I can not believe it.  Had to get a new bowl for Dozer, he is getting almost 6 cups of food a day.  he gets 3 in the morning and 3 at night.
