Spreading a little bit of love here. Anyway, it's been a super busy week for me for some reason. The weather was really nice but the snow is falling again tonight.
Some of you have been asking about my Day in the Life journal. It's sort of just sitting there lonely and abandoned. The main reason being I don't have the time to keep up with two journals so I sort of blended my chatter into this journal. Not that I seem to have much to chatter about anymore.
Today was grocery shopping and football. I actually got 50 cents a gallon off of gas today because of fuel perks. Gas is $3.19. I paid $2.69. I cannot believe how much gas costs and how much food has gone up lately.
So, my biggest worry this weekend was my Grizzly. I had to cut back his Rimadyl severely in the fall because it was causing his liver enzymes to get out of whack. He was doing pretty well on the lower dose. Yesterday afternoon, I took him out. He wanted to go to the back so I walked him to the end of our property. We got halfway back, and his hind legs just gave out on him. I didn't think I was going to get him in the house. I was soooo upset. He could barely walk. I've increased the Rimadyl back to the maximum dosage for the time being. It took two doses before he was steady again. Wow, was I a basket case until he was able to walk gain. My boy will be 11 in March. That's old for a large dog.
Today was hamburger Sunday. Joey mixes all kinds of stuff in the burgers, and I grill them. It was a pretty nice afternoon for mid January. I have stuffed peppers simmering on the stove for tomorrow. Didn't I say my life was exciting. Well, one more full week of work and then a long weekend for the Dr. Martin Luther King holiday.
Oops, and I'm storing my a lot of my stuff in Fotki because that last siggy tag was an AOL nightmare to send. I'mstill going to send what I can but I've been messing around with Fotki and started uploading stuff in there. ROFL...I didn't realize how easy it was to sort things alphabetically. I'm so challeneged. Here's the link: Public Home | Mschrissyb | Fotki.com I put some tags in there that have been hanging around on my external drive that I never posted.
Hope everybody has a good week. I'm thinking spring. The daylight is hanging around until almost 5:30 right now.
HUGS Chris

Hey Chris, Sorry you doggie is having so much trouble. I lost my kitty cat, Smokey just before Christmas and believe me, it's almost as hard as losing a human member of the family. Let's hope he lives (comfortably) to a ripe old age. Have a good night and Hugs,
Joyce
May I have this tag with Bridgett and Janya, please?
XOXO,
bridgett

Chris, will keep Grizzley in my prayers, Love and Hugs Lisa
I so enjoy your reads, kinda like cozing up to a warm fire in your favorite chair, with your yummy jammy's on to read your favorite book. Sorry to hear of Grizzly's discomfort ~ hoping he finds relief soon. Way to go on the gas discount ~ I have just given up on driving, I just ride my bike or walk (lol). Hoping your week ahead is good to you and brings with it many reasons to smile. Take care and enjoy,
Katie
i was wondering about your other journal. glad to hear you are having some "boring" time. I think its preferable to drama, drama....

Poor Grizzly! I hate to hear that. Fotki....I gotta figure that site out. AOL and Photobucket have been bears lately. No snow here in NC! YAY!!!
Awww.. your poor boy. I would be upset too. Glad you're having fun setting up the Fotki account I really think you're gonna love that. It's just so much easier than AOL headaches.
Take care, Chrissie
Nice to see you :) tags awesome as usual! I think the weather has us fooled into thinking it's spring.. LOL
hugs

All the best to you and your Grizzly. Thanks for the link. - Barbara
My Annie; a golden retriever/spits mix is getting on up in age also and it pains me to see her walking...she use to love to run like the wind.
I think she is around 11 also.
That is a pretty tag up there but since AOL has messed up putting anniamtion in, I can not do it anymore and try to stick to those that don't move....:-(
Love ya,
carlene

Well, you have more to write about than I do! lol I just feel like I am so boring.. and if I bore myself, what the hell must I be doing to the few people that do still read me? lol So.. I really don't journal much anymore.
Always good to hear from you Chris... I'm sorry to hear about Grizzly.. I hope the meds help and then you can lower them again, so his liver enzymes don't get all out of whack again. I swear, you're damned if you do... and you're damned if you don't, huh?
Love to you, my sweet friend,
Jackie

Poor Grizzly...my prayers are for the meds to stablilize him at a definite dose. I know how hard this is on him...and the family too. I'm happy I am not the only one with spring on my mind....hope we have an early spring for all. Hugs and love,
Joyce
I hope your dog is doing better!! Linda
I love Fotki. It frees up so much space on your computer, plus, if your computer crashes, you still have what you stored on Fotki. Enjoy your week.
Missie
Prettty tag. Is it OK to snag from your FOTKI site?
Nice of Joey to do up the burgers for you.
Poor Griz. I'm glad he perked up when you increased the rimadyl. Our "pet" stray cat that I didn't want in the first place and told tom I
wouldn't let her in the house till he took her to be checked by s vet. Wellit got real cold the other night and she split. Haven't seen her snce. :( Oh well )amd to think I am the one with the cat phobia. '
Anyway....Have a good week. Love N hugs, Barb
Beautiful tag! Poor Grizzly. I feel so bad for him.
Hope you have a good week!
Love ya,
Pam
Keeping Grizzly in my prayers on the smoke. I would be heartbroken if I had to watch Pickles go through that. I'm always delighted when there is a post from you my friend and I think you have plenty to say (winks). (HUgs) INdigo
Hope Grizzly is doing better by now. Awesome tags! Thanks for sharing.
Hugs, Maria
Bet the hamburger were good.
I wish our petrol was that cheap. We pay that much for a litre.!!!
Sorry to hear your big boy is not well. I'm sure he has a few more years left in him yet.
Take care
