Stella Got Her Groove Back!

It's been over a year since I last attempted to "groom" Stella. This time, I went all out and shaved her. I debated going to the groomer, the vet, or doing it at home. I decided I was qualified enough and took the plunge! Stella did surprisingly well, although there was one moment I thought she was going to die or have a heart attack! I am happy to report, she survived, has no mats, no more dandruff, and seems completely happy with her new look!

Jake's Turn!

So, Jake was feeling left out and wanted to visit the ER too! He had been licking his back left foot to death. When I looked at it I noticed something lodged near his nail. As previous posts have given away, I think I am a vet! So I tried to pull it out! It didn't work and he wasn't happy. Off to the vet we went! We had a great vet. They originally thought he had a split nail, turned out to actually be a piece of wood stuck in his toe next to it. Jake got some great drugs that knocked him out, the vet yanked it out, and we were done! Bringing him home without Dan was a little difficult....the meds made him really unsteady, unable to listen, and difficult to move. So once I got him on the bed that was it! I was miserably uncomfortable, but I had no choice!

Drug-induced...He was OUT!


Waking up...little freaked out


Coming around


And were home! Getting him off the floor and into bed was hysterical!


This morning! Still a little anxious (what's new) but doing well!

Nicole's Anatomy

It's no secret that my family love the ER. This time it was my turn! I was having trouble breathing after I took my antibiotic (yes, I was all ready sick!) So my family though it was in my best interest to head to the ER. I did everything I could to convince them otherwise, but you can see who won! O came with me and we had a blast! If you ever need an ER buddy....she's your gal! Oh, and I can breathe now...I'm probably really down playing the whole thing...but I did get better. Unfortunately, I still feel pretty crappy considering I haven't recovered from last weeks symptoms, they seem to just keep stacking on each other. But, the good news is, I am a walking drug store..you need it I got it... Although I did have to part with with a few bottles. I dumped my purse out for the triage nurse and we realized I was taking expired pills...I guess I'm more like my Grandma than I realize! ;)

Uuuummmmm.....Checking the oxygen levels...
that sticky finger thing is almost more annoying than not being able to breathe!


Getting a lovely breathing treatment right after a fun shot and blood tests! I told the DR I didn't need a chest x-ray...I'm sure he appreciated my input ;)


O did it!!! The little thief... At least their using it right?!
