guess who's back....

100 points to the person who knows what song inspired the title of this post.

I thought to get back into it I would do a little life update courtesy of Instagram.


Summer is such a fun time.  Celebrations, laughter, fun.
July however always seems to be a sad month for me every year.  This year was especially sad.  Our little puppy Pippin was hit by a car and didn't make it.  This was a devastating blow for our family and one that we will not be over any time soon.  Strange the way animals get into our hearts isn't it?  Losing a pet becomes just as tragic as losing a human family member.  Many tears have been shed and I'm ready for a new start come August.
New job, new home...new.  I like starting new.

What new things are you looking forward to?  Leave a comment!

Colt


So sorry for the absence everyone but I just thought I'd give you a quick update as to why....
Last Saturday night my little baby (ok yes he's a dog...get over it) went in for surgery to remove an obstruction in his stomach.  He had chewed on a rope toy and he ingested the strings from it and they were all balled up.  After the surgery everything was going good and he came home on Monday (cone and all...he was not happy...)


On Tuesday he was acting really strange and vomiting etc so he went back to urgent care...he was starting to get an infection so he was given a few shots and sent home.  On Wednesday he was acting the same way and he wouldn't eat ANYTHING....so back to urgent care...they finally gave him a pain patch (he couldn't take any other kind of pain meds bc he wouldn't eat and he would spit the liquid kind out)....he seemed to be doing better.  He still won't eat which is very concerning but we're just taking it one day at a time.
I've learned quite a lot about myself from this experience like I'M PSYCHOTIC for one.  I don't let him out of my sight, when I'm not home I call (multiple times) to check on him, I've slept on the couch every night (usually for only an hour or two) to keep an eye on him (I don't sleep because as I've already pointed out...I'm psychotic).  Needless to say....I've been exhausted.
I'm very sorry for the lack of updates.  Hopefully my dear Colt will be better next week and I'll be back to bothering you every day!!!
I would ask that even though it's silly...if you'd just say a quick prayer or send out some good thoughts our way I would really appreciate it.  He's still in some pain and WILL NOT EAT....so anything helps.
Thank you all so much!
xoxo
Vanessa
Can't wait until he's back to laying on the ground of the bathroom to
keep me company while I get ready...

The cat doesn't miss his rambunctious behavior as much....

What a handsome boy....
