Thing I've learned this week...

 1. I still have my endo pain.  Ouch!  Not sure why it surprises me each month.

 2. We are not classy people.  This picture demonstrates this recent discovery.
Nice look Daisy and Smokey.  Classy. Not.
3.  I dress up when I go to the fertility doctor.  I don't always mean to, but it always happens.  I go tomorrow and I planned my outfit... a cute skirt and top.  I'm thinking the cute skirt will help with my baby making plans.  Maybe not with Dr. G, but at least with Doug.  Hehe.

4. Summer feet are gross.  What do I do about cracked heels??  I've tried lotions, creams and it's not working! Help!

5. If your classy puppy eats a ginormous amount of sticks, rocks and grass... you will get to know your veterinarian, very, very well.

He called our house and instead of saying, this is your vet, Dr. Craig Last Name.... he said, "Hi Jenny, it's Craig."  Yep, we are on a first name basis.  The other times he called, he didn't even say his name.  That's how much we have chatted with him over the past few days.  Yep, he's great.

6. There is a reason why I did not become a veterinarian... extracting a poop sample from a puppy that would not give one voluntarily is one of them.

7. The house is really, really quiet when Daisy has to stay overnight at the veterinarian hospital due to her eating all the sticks, rocks and grass.  Sooooo quiet.  What did we do before we had the pup??  We sure missed the little one.

 8. I get a little cranky when the temperature goes over 100 degrees.  I also get a little cranky when the temperature is below 100 degrees.  Hmmm....

 9. I'm lazy.  I've known this before this week, but I'm embracing it this week.  If I could sleep all day, I think I would... especially when it is over 100 degrees and humid outside.

10. I can't keep flowers alive.  My prized flowers I planted are now nearing the end of their short life.  I think it's due to the over 100 degree weather.  See why the weather makes me cranky?

11. When your puppy eats sticks, rocks and grass, her 'output' will be something to talk about.  Even the vet was impressed with what came out.  We are talking full sticks here people.  When did she eat that??!! Ahhhhhhh!

12.  I've never talked so much or been so excited about puppy poo in my life.  Thank goodness there was no need for surgery.  Yay for poo! Oh, come on... I know some of you mom's have said the same thing, just not about puppy poo!!! :)

13.  I'm still obsessed with Big. Brot.her.  I'm even more obsessed with Big Brother than puppy poo!  With all that has happened this week... that's saying a lot!

If she only really thought this, we'd be set!

JellyBelly said...

That is one classy pic of your pets! ;)

Second Chances said...

You are so funny! Love this post.

Oh, for the cracked heals, I've found that putting vaseline on them and then putting socks or slippers on for a few hours every evening helps a lot. But yes, they're a pain. Lotion does nothing for mine. It's vaseline or bust! Hope this helps!

I've had my share of pet poop talk. It's great, isn't it? NOT! However, talking BB is fun! I love that show (now if my satellite didn't go out last night, I'd know about POV...grrr).

#2 is hilarious!!!!

Jenny said...

hahaha When Jill was a puppy, she ate my little wooden finger Rosary from Rome. That was not fun to find in her little pile of poo. It was still intact, but well, you know.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Love the pic of Doug and your pets. You couldn't have snapped the pic at a better time!

Nicole C said...

#2 - HUH-larious! Can't believe you were able to capture that!

#4 - Have you tried Amlactin lotion? You can usually only find it behind pharmacy counters, but it's over the counter. MIght help.

Mary said...

oh my gosh the thought of a stick coming out of Daisy's rear end made me so uncomfortable! I think I felt pain! hahahaha.

such a funny post!!!

Do you have any sort of exfoliating scrubs for your feet? One of those pumice stones or other sort of foot "scraper"(ahh that sounds bad but I can't think of another word haha)? I've put vaseline on mine before, too, like Second Chances, and then put socks on. Not incredibly comfortable but it did help a little.
