Taking Topaz to the Vet

| By | Filed Under: k9epilepsy, zoo | Leave a Comment

The husband’s check was much huger than expected so we ended up with some extra moolah this pay period. Which is always a good thing.

I’ve been worried for a while now that Topaz, the Aussie mix and Epileptic puppa, is in pain…so we’re going to cart him off to the vet tonight. The vet we normally see, and the one that I prefer to see him is in tonight and won’t be back until Sunday…so I figured why wait?

I am hoping that x-rays are not needed and that she can give us some medication or a shot or something and maybe we can add a supplement or something…but we do have money, so if more things are needed we’re covered.

I wish the husband made this much money all the time. We’d never have to worry about money and would be able to do those extra things that we want to do.

He’s been doing much better as far as his health goes, and he’s been almost working full time now. I don’t know what he needed to get this going, maybe it was the “release” from his 9-5 gig that he was doing…because after he spent some time relaxing and getting over that drama…he hit the ground running and has picked up a lot of extra hours. Which has just been glorious!

I’m glad that the drama is over too…good riddance!

One of the cats, Alex, needs to go to the vet too. He’s got some sores on the back of his hind legs and his breathing is kind of wheezy. He will wait till next pay…or, maybe Thursday…depends on how much this Puppa visit is.

Caffeinated Carbonated Goodness & Other Stuffs

| By | Filed Under: k9epilepsy, life, zoo | Leave a Comment

I am a Mt. Dew-oholic. My favorite is the Live Wire (orange) flavor. It’s basically my coffee. I could, and have, drink a whole 2 liter in a day by myself. This all being said…a 2 liter in this house doesn’t last very long. If you don’t get a glass right away, it will be gone by the time you go try to get some. This is try of all pop really.

So why does the husband ask where the 2 liter is and when I say it’s gone he says, “wow”? Is he new? LOL He lives here, he knows of my love of the mt dew and all carbonated beverages. Get a grip…geez.

Sometimes we’ll both get our own 2 liter…this works out better.

Sometimes I wish I drank coffee, then I could just drink that for caffeine…or hook me up to a caffeine drip or something…haha

Other stuffs…The dog has been pacing really bad. I think a vet visit is necessary. I probably need to go with my gut because I really think he’s in pain. He paces all the time…in this room, in the dining room, into his cage…it’s really hard to watch sometimes. I don’t know if it’s the meds or if he’s in pain. I wish they could talk to us and let us know!! I’ll probably call the vet on Monday and see if we should bring him in.

We also need to bring one of the cats in…Alex. He’s got sores on the backs of both of his legs and he’s never sounded good breathing. He like has a weeze, or something. I am not sure…but it’s not always good.

Gosh this is all so random!!

I made a huge list of things that I want to get done. Cleaning type things, computer things…stuff for the APSFA. I am not sure how much of it I will actually get done. I need to do some things during the week too. Last week was just awful and I was so tired everyday when I got home from work. Of course, I didn’t once go to bed early like I really needed to. And even today, I got up at like 9:30…dumb. I went to bed fairly early though.

Well I should end this rambling and get to what I need to do.

Dog Starved in the Name of Art…DISGUSTING!!

| By | Filed Under: causes | Leave a Comment

This is just horrible and I was physically sick when I saw it. The page is in a different language and the pictures are quite shocking and horrible to see.

http://elperritovive.blogspot.com/

What I find completely odd is that “El Perrito Vive” translates to “The Dog Lives”…which sadly, no it doesn’t. This is sick and just plain wrong.

I got this from a dog forum I am a member of.

To Sign a petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/13031953/petition.html

Here is information from the petition. Also, he has now been brought up ..s in Costa Rica.

On 2007 Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, a fake artist, took a street dog, he tied him with a short rope to a wall of an art gallery and he let him die slowly of starvation and thirst, as “installation”.

During the several days , the author of this horrible cruelty and the visitors of this Art Gallery (shame on them) they remain careless witnesses in front of the agony of the poor animal, until at last he died of starving and thirst, for sure after spending a painful, absurd, suffering.
That’s not all: the prestigious CentroAmerican Biennial of Art decided, (shame on them) that the brutality that has been made by this person was art, and on this incomprehensible way Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat the cruel “installation” at the next Biennial on 2008.

The bottom text after all the dog pictures translates (via Google) to the following:

According knew the dog died the next day for lack of food. During the inauguration knew that the dog was chased in the afternoon between the houses of cardboard and aluminum of a neighborhood of Managua with the name of a saint that Habakkuk who was unable to specify at the time. 5 children of those who helped in the capture of 10 cordobas received bonuses for their cooperation. During the exhibition some people called for the release of the dog, which he refuses artist. The name of the dog was (was) Nativity, and I leave him to die of hunger in full view of everyone, as if the death of a poor dog was a shameless media show in which no one does nothing but applaud or look puzzled.

Definitely we are what we read: pure croquettes.

In the place that the dog was exposed only have a metal cable and a rope. The dog was extremely ill, renqueaba and did not want to eat anyway, so in a natural environment would have died anyway, but so are all the poor dogs: sooner or later they die or are killed.
