Not Alone

Last night was Kona's training class. When we go there the golden retriever (Buddy was late). Apparently Buddy ran into a piece of metal this week and nearly lost his eye. Luckily he is going to be okay. And, I am kind of relieved that I am not the only one that has weird things happen to their pets.

This weekend I am going to go hang out with my parents I have a long to do list:
Find stuff for a Halloween Costume
Find stuff to make a dog bed for Kona's crate
Look at stuff to make curtains
See if they still have this jacket I want at the Rack
Look for more workout clothes
Get pet food (dog and cat) and chew bones (just for dog)
See if I can find stuff to make a piece of original art for my living room
Get a princess item (something I need for work)
Get a card

Looks like I will be busy!

Eye Popping


This weekend my Grandma and Mom came up to visit me. It was the first time that Grandma had seen my house. It was great motivation to get stuff put away and cleaned up. Kona was pretty good once she settled down. We let her play outside and then she came in and took a nap. When she woke up her eyes were swollen. Her right eye was almost swollen closed and her left didn't look much better. I rinsed off her head and then called my vet and he told me to give her some Benadryl. Of course this completely knocked her out, but after several hours it seemed to do the trick. I have no idea what she got into, but the next day I mowed down all the weeds in my back yard. What is it with my pets?

I Wish...


...I could rescue this puppy. I think Kona would love her. She is so cute! Then I could have two doodles.

$365 Enema

For those of you that have been reading my blog for some time you probably thought this post would be about my cat. Oh no....this time it was Kona. She had been mopey and disinterested in food then she started throwing up so I decided to take her to the vet. I was hoping she hadn't eaten anything bad that was blocking her digestive tract. After x-rays and blood work we decided that she just needed a enema. What is with my pets? Why are they always getting constipated?

So now I have a happy puppy once again. Although, she did eat (and throw up) a pine cone last night. Duh.

Unfortunately, this unexpected vet visit has put off my being able to get a new car that can transport me, my dog, and my kayak. I wish I could win the lottery (or even just a new car).
