Doggie Day Three

So Mojo had to spend the night at the Emerg clinic again....booooo.

I picked him up from our vet last night and he was stronger and actually barking. Woooo. The techs said he had actually been barking a fair bit of the afternoon...which is good news because he has barely made a peep in days. And those of you that know him at all, know he's a talkative little bugger. I often refer to him as Barky McBarkBark...or Barky McAsshole. :) I was happy to hear his asshole bark!

He looked a bit stronger, but still so much little a sick little old man. I think he was pretty happy to see me until he realized I wasn't taking him home. Dogs are smart like that...they can tell when you turn the car the wrong way.

He had to stay at the clinic with the IV another night because he still isn't eating. The doctor wants to start him on steroids because she is so certain that he likely has lymphoma, but she can't give him the ones she wants to until he starts eating. Hopefully that's today's big success....food. I tried to even tempt him with cheese last night, but no go. He's drinking like a mofo though.

So I picked him up this morning and brought him back to our vet. Hard to say if he's any better...I think he's sick of having to be moved around...and who can blame him. (I have to say I think this whole only one overnight place in town thing is slightly stupid.) I'm hoping he just gets sick of being at the vet and clues in that if he eats he gets to come home.

I'm so lonely without him here. For a year and a half he's been my companion...even when he's annoying and pisses me off. Aside from the week before we moved, when DBF took him in the car to cross the country, I've never been home without him. It's wierd. I keep waiting for him to come wandering in the room and eat the cat's dinner. :(

Cold gets better; Weather gets worse

Thankfully, this seems to be just a cold and although yesterday I was pretty tired because of it, today I'm already starting to feel better. I got myself up at a reasonable time and went to the gym and feel even better now. Hopefully this keeps up and the whole thing just blows over and goes away.

Mother Nature decided to send us some more snow today...so my plans for keeping myself busy with errands today have been altered a bit. DBF was supposed to work tomorrow, but it was switched to today, so I was going to try to find some new gym shoes and then maybe spend some time downtown at one of the nicer Starbucks. Instead, the snow decided to start piling up while I was in the gym, so I opted to get Starbucks to bring home and grabbed a couple of movies instead.

I was A LOT more confident out in the weather today. The roads stayed pretty clear, but by the time I was heading home the snow was starting to stick and parking lots were getting yucky. I'm glad I came home when I did because there was already about an inch in the driveway and anymore than that would make it hard to park properly without having to shovel it. Blech. Hopefully it doesn't keep going all night because DBF is off at 8:00am and it would suck if he had to shovel the driveway before he could pull his car in.

Maybe....maybe....maybe.....if it stops snowing later today I'll go out and shovel his spot....but I'm not promising anything. I have a date with some sushi and a couple of chick flicks (and some bad reality TV on the DVR). Plus I have this cold as an excuse to stay bundled up inside for the rest of the day. ;)

Sickypants

I can't believe it. Almost exactly a month, and I'm sick AGAIN. Maybe I'm allergic to Winter. Or maybe our new house. Or possibly Halifax in general.

Booooo. I don't get it, I'm eating well and working out...why does my body hate me?

So far, it's just a cold...cross your fingers that it doesn't become my usual sinus disaster or sore throat this time. Blowing my nose 7000 times a day is enough, thank you very much!

Why is it always right before a weekend? At least we don't have any fancy dinner plans this time....but we had hoped to get out for something fun. Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow. I hope so! I'm not letting this stop me from my new found gym routine either. Stupid timing! At least today is my scheduled day off from the gym, but I'm supposed to go tomorrow and I really want to!! And Sunday I wanted to maybe try out a yoga class, but I suppose breathing is probably a requirement for that. Waaaaaaaaa!!

OK, enough whining. I'm going to blow my nose and drink water and eat Vitamin C.
