My dog is so spoiled!

November 29, 2011 by Tricia

I think by now everyone in our neighborhood knows our dog Midnight. Luckily it’s a fairly dog friendly neighborhood as there are quite a few people around with dogs of their own. Our Lab seems to be well liked by most people that meet her – and I’m thankful for that. Of course she’s a friendly girl and I’ve tried my best to train her well.

I think our dog has been getting spoiled lately.  Naturally she’s just loving every minute of it.  About three months ago we found a very nice round dog bed and we put it in our bedroom for her to use whenever she’s upstairs and she just loves it.  Whenever she comes upstairs she goes in each room – two spare rooms and the main bedroom and jumps on each bed, and then she jumps down and rolls around on her doggy bed.  I guess it’s no wonder that I’ve nicknamed her “Goldy Locks” what with her trying out all the beds to see which one she likes best. LOL

Just like the information listed above, my dog must have her favorite toy. I think she has it with her pretty much wherever she goes in the house.  She tries to bring it outside with her too .. but when she has brought it outside she’s tried to bury it so we don’t let her bring her favorite bone outdoors too often.  I’m sure she’d freak out if she lost it!

Do you spend a lot of time with your dog or cat?  Do you pamper your pet too?  Tell me what you do with your pet.

Puncture marks in my neck!

November 24, 2011 by Tricia

I’m in recovery mode tonight. Earlier today I had to go to the hospital for a thyroid biopsy. I’ve had thyroid biopsies before and normally it’s not that bad, but this time my neck is pretty sore. It’s swollen too. I think everything is ok though – I’m certainly keeping an eye on things.

The irony of the situation is that I’m supposed to have a thyroid biopsy every 6 months but because my doctors be very slow this “6 month check up” has taken almost two years! Hopefully the results are benign again. If they are I’ll buy my doctor some cohiba cigars dominican as a gift … well maybe not … I have been waiting a long time to have this test done.

I think I’ll go and get an icepack to put on the side of my neck. It sort of feels like a cross between a sore throat (it hurts a bit to swallow) and pulled neck muscles, so I’m sure the cold pack will help a bit.

I seem to be fighting a bug

November 12, 2011 by Tricia

I’ve been so busy working on another project the last couple of weeks that I haven’t had time to update this blog. Sorry! I guess it doesn’t help that I’ve also been sick with some kind of respiratory infection too does it? I think that’s getting worse as well – I’m kind of wheezy this evening and I’m crossing my fingers hoping that whatever this is isn’t turning into bronchitis or pneumonia!

I think I’m going to pamper myself later tonight. Soak in the tub and then treat my skin with some premier dead sea skin care products that a friend sent me this past week. The steam from the bath will do my respiratory system good and the skin care products will do my skin good.

Have you been fighting any bugs that are going around at this time of year? Usually I’m ok and I don’t get every little thing that’s going around, but this year I seem to be catching everything. I think I’m just too stressed out lately or something.
