Everyday Randomness

Back To The Vet

Bubba pretty much slept all day with me, and when I woke up at 4pm I noticed both of his eyes were covered in serious goo.  They were so bad I had to use a washcloth to remove the goo before he could open one of the eyes.  He’s already on eye medications for some pretty nasty eye allergies, but I’ve never seen it this bad.  It scared me because my first thought was pink eye.

I freaked out because the vet closes at 5, and I didn’t have time to get him down there, so I called the vet.  I just really wanted to make sure it wasn’t something else other than the normal allergies acting up since they’ve never been this bad before.

I took a photo and sent it to him while I was on the phone, and he confirmed it’s not pink eye.  It’s definitely his allergies bothering him.  Since we can’t get a full diagnosis that way (and I wouldn’t want to!), he’s going to the vet in the morning, but the vet went ahead and called in a prescription for some eye drops to start using tonight.

Poor puppy.  I can tell he doesn’t feel well.  He’s only been awake about 2 hours, but he’s been moping around.  Allergies are horrible right now for anybody though, humans and pets.  I can’t wait until allergy season is out of here…at least for the one’s my household suffers from.

Did You Hear That?

Silence.

Quiet time doesn’t come often in this house, especially on a Friday night when we have friend’s over. So why is it so quiet tonight? I’m the one who has no energy tonight. I feel like I should have passed out hours ago, but my body just won’t let me. The fact that everyone else is quiet meant I had to go investigate.

What did I find? Hubby’s passed out on the couch, our friend is passed out on the love seat, Bubba is passed out on the other end of the couch, and Alley is passed out on top of one of our coffee tables. Yes, that’s right we have two coffee tables. One sits in the middle of the room as usual, and the other got pushed up against the wall to hold random junk. That’s besides the point though. The point is I’m loving how quiet it is tonight!

Eventful Day

Wow today was a busy day.  I planned to get a lot of accomplished today, but I got caught up this afternoon when my friend came over and told me if I hadn’t already seen in it I had to watch a documentary he just watched.  It’s another 911 documentary called “Loose Change”, but the entire documentary voices every single one of my thoughts about what really happened on 911 as well as a few other things I hadn’t thought about.  If you want to check it out, it’s on Youtube.  I’ve place it on my blog, but the full version is about an hour and 29 minutes.

After Hubby got home we took off to G Vegas to pick up his bike chain from Cycle Gear, and then we had to high tail it to see his little sis.  Today’s her 13th birthday, so we had to make a big deal out of it.  A girl only becomes a teenager once!

As soon as she unwrapped her present Tom the cat decided the tissue paper was his.  While the boys played video games in the background Tom posed for a few pictures.

He wrapped up in the tissue paper…

And fell asleep on us.  Man I want Tom’s life.  He’s got it so easy!

Freddie The Pyro Strikes

Yes, Freddie tried to burn the house down tonight. Who is Freddie?

This is Freddie…

Freddie is my best friend’s snake. She’s had him for about a month, and tonight he took his chances on his first cage escape. In the process Freddie set the house on fire.

On his way out of his cage, he knocked his heat lamp over onto the living room floor. My friend came upstairs to find the living room full of smoke and the carpet burning.

Way to go Freddie!

Freddie is still AWOL at the moment, but we’re hoping he’ll come out of hiding sometime tonight.
