Bring me four fried chickens and a Coke.

 

Well I went to see my Doc on Thursday and the results are in and I do have this fibromyalgia, Ohhhh deep joy. Nothing really changes it just means I have a name for why I hurt and have a multitude of other symptoms, it does however mean I may get a little financial help from the DWP but we shall see on that front they are sending me some forms to fill in. So we can live in hope on that front. The doc is also going to send me to see an epi specialist as my meds are not controlling it as well as they should ………. oh well tell me something I didn’t know….lol.

On a more upbeat note SUMMER seems to have found us in the UK but not sure how long for as it is usually a fleeting thing here but the doglets are enjoying it. Poor Zigs was getting to hot though so yesterday I shaved him down for the first time and I have to say he looks so handsome all smooth. His furnishings on his feet look blooming awesome.

Plans are afoot for a proper web site & online store for our doglet clothing which is mega exciting and I have purchased a domain name in readiness. It will be nice to have our own collections and we may bring out a range of hand made collars as well. It is amazing how owning a specific breed of dog can change the direction of your life isn’t it ?  My furless babes really do make such a difference to my daily well being and state of mind, sure they drive me to distraction sometimes ( especially one with an ear bleedingly high pitched bark that barks at anything that moves on the tv he thinks he needs to protect me from ), but they give me so much joy and pleasure. They do make me cry too like when Izzy suddenly started to play with toys recently, I just sat and watched her entranced with tears streaming down my face. We want to get Zigs into a training class as he is still a little lead shy and he is not always too cheery when other doggles come to visit us, I think eventually he would be awesome at agility but that depends on the OH and how commited he would be to it ( he does have a lot of other things he is commited to ) but I can picture him flying round a course with his furnishings flying. Ohh now that would be a sight to behold.

So all in all even though I have some problems health wise still ( and always will have ) life is pretty darn good !

I am going

to start saving very, very hard now. What for you are all thinking . Well I have not seen my best friend since the end of 2007 and her boys are growing so fast and I am so desperate to see her as I have said before but now I have added incentive.

In the fur hugs from The Houston Pittie pack

Can you believe they only live about 20 minutes away from my friend ? How cool is that now if that is not an added incentive to save extra hard I don’t know what is !!!!

Weekend Woolgathering's

I am extremely tired today as Richie had me up six time in the night, the poor old fellow seems to be forgetting where he a lot more these days and it is so upsetting to see him standing on the bed trying to work out where the heck he is. He is getting a more wobbly on his legs as well my dear little chap, I hate seeing him like that as it reminds how fragile life is and I really don’t want to think about that so when he has one of his bouncy times I just treasure them and I so enjoy seeing him being a carefree scamp.

The thought of losing him tears me apart but I know now it will be sooner rather than later but as long as he is not in pain or uncomfortable and as long he is happy for more time than he is confused and bemused then I am going to enjoy our time together.  He is such a dear wee soul and he has such a cheery disposition, if you could see him when friends come he gets all shouty with glee and demands his cuddles and it is lovely. His Aunty Eileen came round on Tuesday and you would not have thought there was a single thing wrong with him and it was lovely, his Aunty Eileen fostered him before he came to us so she has soft spot for him. She bought round a comfy collar for us to borrow so Ronnii doesn’t have to wear a lampshade after her whowhoectomy which I am sure she will prefer. She will look funny though the little madam that she. I am hoping she will feel well enough to celebrate her Birthday though, she is going to look so sweet as she had a special delivery from a certain Special Yorkie boy across the pond ( although she doesn’t know about it yet as I am keeping it a surprise ),  Richie and Ronnii had cards arrive from Frankie too but again they are being kept as a surprise for the day. How do I know they are from Frankie ?

The envelope was a bit of a clue !

My two are going to be so happy on the 23rd not only are they having a blog party but they are having an in the fur party too and we will all finally get to meet Clare and JD & Max. I am so excited about meeting them all, I feel like I already know them so it will be just like old friends coming . I am a little concerned about how Captain Shouty & Miss Bossy knickers will react to having two other doglets in their home but I am sure they will be ok. Ronnii may have a grumble or two and Richie will do his normal Captain Shouty but hopefully they will be alright. I am off to order their birthday cake in a minute Oh it is exciting I think I may use Milk bones instead of candles I think they would like that better don’t you ?.

Anyway I am off now to order cake and then hang the washing.

Tatty Bye for now

I really have got to

start listening to my body more, I went out yesterday with my OH and we only went to two stores and in one of them we spent most of the time sitting down nattering to our friends and getting Yorkie loves from her two babes. But that small trip has totally wiped me out, I am hurting everywhere and am exhausted and feeling decidedly pants again. Will I ever learn ?……………….. I doubt it I think it is human nature to push ourselves in when our bodies object profusely but I really do need to listen as it is not going to help me any if I don’t. I don’t have do because of me but there are others who need me like the OH, my son, Richie, Percy and who ever else is just around the corner if I don’t do it for myself then I should do it for them.

Part of my problem is like things done when I want them done and if they don’t get done then I ‘HAVE’ to do them, I like things done a certain way as well and I know that makes me sound like a complete neat freak/control freak but believe me neat is not word anyone who knows me would apply to me…….lol . But things get to a certain stage of messy-ness that is even too much for me and it has reached that stage now. So for all my talk of listening to my body I know that when I get up later I will be doing the laundry, cleaning the lounge and kitchen and scrubbing the kitchen floor as well as getting a joint of ham ready for roasting on Sunday, I also have veggies that need preparing for the freezer. So I will get all these things done and then collapse in front of the idiot box to shout at the gormless, brain dead moron that is Louis Walsh an excuse for a judge on the X factor.

So there we have it.

Here is my Thought Provoking Question for today

30 day blog journal - day 15

Today is my dream home, well my dream home would certainly not be in the UK it would either be in Houston or in Bandera. It would have a good sized yard for dogs to run around in with a couple of dog houses in so they had somewhere special to hide their stuff. A big garage for Stevie to have all his hobby stuff in and it would keep the house clutter free and it would be his own space that I would not intrude on so he could escape if he needed to. The master bedroom would be large so we could have a mahoosive bed and longhorns on the wall, decked out in pure Texan style from comforters to rugs with large walk in closets and an en suite bathroom and on the ground floor too. The ground floor would be kinda open plan like my friends house with the kitchen and breakfast room looking out over the den but the dining room would be offset. It would have study for all of the family pc’s so we could at least be in the same room when we are surfing. Big open fireplaces, ceiling fans and AC goes without saying along with walk in larder and separate washroom

Upstairs would have a big secondary bedroom for my son with more walk in closets, it would have a bathroom he could use for his own and at least two other bedrooms and a gallery overlooking the den was be awesome.

If it was in Houston it would need to be near my best friend so we could just pop over when ever we wanted, if it was in Bandera it would need to be close-ish to Arkie Blues and to where I would be working.

So there you have it my dream home

Sorry no post today

as Momo is rather poorly again, I have been up with her until now with her being sick and she not eating or drinking so I am having to watch her closely. She is very wheezy and extremely wobbly on her legs.

Please send her lots of healing thoughts
