PuppaMissyYiddaBeansMooshFanna

December 17, 2007 | By Heidi | Filed Under: zoo | Leave a Comment

Just some random thoughts tonight…

We bought tiny stockings at Michael’s today and I put the animals names on them with green glitter glue. Then we hung them “with care” above the window on the same wall that our stockings are hung on. They look really cute. We used their nicknames, which is kind of funny. The husband’s idea…

I cannot believe that Christmas is a week from tomorrow. We have not started shopping. I really don’t even know what I’m getting anyone. We usually shop late, so that’s not a big deal…but I just don’t even have a clue what to buy anyone this year.

Christmas seems weird this year. I don’t have a clue what my parents are getting me, and I usually have some sort of idea…but this year, I just don’t know. Which is ok…it’s happened before.

I sometimes wish I had an anonymous blog out there in blogville where I could blog about things that I don’t want certain people to read. Nothing specific, but I’d love to just put some things out there and let them go sometimes. It makes me feel better to just get it down. Maybe I’ll hide a personal, private blog on here and post to that. I don’t know.

The puppa has not had a seizure in 18 days and he’s eating his raw food now like a champ. He’s still a bit hesitant and I do have to talk to him and tell him it’s ok to eat it, and we have to mix the nasty tripe with everything, but once he gets going, he’s fine with it all. He’s laying in his cage sleeping right now. His cage is in my “office” and we put the radio on and shut the door to this room when we go to bed. He’s just sleeping in there peacefully and of course I am very nervous that he could have a seizure tonight. He was acting kind of weird earlier. Any weirdness makes me nervous. Hopefully tonight will be a quiet one.

Well I Love New York 2 is over…and she picked Tailor Made…wasn’t seeing that one!! Oh well, can’t wait till the reunion.

Night…H

For my mom’s birthday, my father, sisters, and my husband and I gave my mom tickets to see Barry Manilow. She asked me to go with her.

The concert was tonight and it was awesome!! Our seats were great…not too far up, not too far down. The show was just great! He’s an excellent performer. I had a really good time and I think my mom did too!!!

We always listen to the “Ultimate Manilow” CD when we list things on eBay. We put it in when there’s no Christmas music on the radio or for a change from the radio. It gets us pumped and it’s a lot of upbeat songs. I couldn’t stand it in the beginning, but I’m a fan now, the album is even in my ipod.

Right now it’s 1:58am and it’s snowing like the dickens outside!! Will make for some pretty pictures in the morning! I can’t wait to take some. The dogs love the snow, they are so funny too…they prance around in it and play.

It’s Fana’s first time seeing snow too!! And maybe Malcolm and Beans. I am not sure if they saw snow at the shelter or not. Alex (Fana), Malcolm, Jellybean (Beans) and Razzle are our kitties. I may take the Fana out to put his paws in the snow. That will be funny!

Oh, and the husband will get to play with his new/used snowblower (insert Tim The Toolman’s grunt here). I’m sure he will LOVE that. Hopefully it works and everything for him, we have a lot of driveway that needs to be done.

Ohhhh!!! AND!! I almost forgot!! Another Christmas Miracle!! Kisses, another cat I NEVER thought would get adopted went home with her new someone today!!! There was this older gentleman who was looking for an adult female cat and he was at the shelter for HOURS today looking at all of our kitties. We have mostly females so there are a lot to choose from. He finally decided on Kisses!! She’s a good cat, just moody and temperamental and wants love on her own terms. But I’m SO glad he adopted her. I think it will be a good match!! I hope anyways, she needs a chance to be in a home. First Buddah, now Kisses…and omg, maybe Ariel too!!! Now if we could just get Safari adopted!

Ok…I need to get some sleep…I get to sleep in (if the dog lets me!!) tomorrow!! AND I have no where to be, so I can have a lazy-take-my-time-doing-things kind of day! PURE BLISS!

Houston…we have lift off!

I am writing this day down as a success!!

Topaz ate his breakfast AND ate his dinner!! The raw is a success! I am so happy. The lady who runs the Pet Beastro brought me in some chicken necks to try with Topaz…and he ate it right away. So either he was hungry, or he’s into it now! LOL Onyx, of course, ate hers like a pro.

Also, we had an excellent adoption at the shelter today. 15 homeless animals were adopted out into their new forever homes. We were SO busy today at the shelter!!! I’m really glad to see so many people who want to open their homes and hearts and welcome a new pet into their family. It’s awesome to watch people come in and meet their new best friends. It definitely makes me feel great to be a part of it all.

I got all of our Christmas decorations out this week. Well Todd got them from the garage for us. I went through and picked out the few things we will be putting out this year. See, my mother decorates every inch of her house…and I mean every inch. And don’t think it’s tacky because it’s really spectacular. She uses lights and a lot of vintage Christmas items, it’s just really cool. I wish I had that much stuff to decorate with, and could do it as nice as my mother does. But I’m always left with this feeling like it’s just not enough. My sisters say the same thing. It’s a curse really. lol

Anyway…I am going to put up the few things I picked out of our boxes to decorate with. We have not had a proper tree since getting topaz and now that we have 4 cats here, I am so afraid that they will climb into our tree and/or knock it down. And I don’t want to ruin all of our nice ornaments. Maybe next year we’ll get a tree and I’ll decorate with plastic bulbs. We’ll see.

Gotta go…have stuffs to do!!

Later…H
