kinda neglected here a bit this past little while and quite honestly i dont have a good reason for it other than being sied tracked...
so lets see what has happend since my last update.
Still battling fleas...i think im going to loose my mind if i dont get this under control soon, the Friponil is about as usefull as hosing them in tap water, so frontline and generic frontline are out...
debating between K9 Advantix and Advantage
i keep going back and forth between the 2 but i think i might try the Advantage 2, i can get a good deal on it, its safe for the cats and gets good reveiws...
either way i need these little mosters out and figure if i keep the fenced area for the dogs sprayed for ticks and allow the guinneas and chickens (planned for spring) to free range ticks shouldnt be too much of a problem...
Dozer is growing like a weed, need to weigh him tomorrow (was going to do it toay but he gets his second round of dewormer tomorrow so i need a up to date accurate weight on him anyway so. other than the fleas hes doing well...took him into jackson the other day with me a i had to go to tractor supply, and he had a blast, EVERYONE loved him and he loved everyone...except the slidingdoogs, aparently they are made of evil and want to eat him, they made him jump but he did work through the intial scares lol
the groomer at petsmart even took the grinder to his nails for me for free
(i think she mabe expected them to need clipping, but as i handed him over she goes...oh...you have nice nails! lol
i keep ontop of clipping his nails but they get sharp quick rather than long lol. so she dremmeld the tips for me and he did REALY well with that
he frightend a 6 month old english mastif and met a realy skinny rescued pitbull and did great with both of those adventures lol...hes still not great in the car though,the drive to jackson was filled wiht squeeking...the drive home, with snoring LOL!
housebreaking is going...if im on the ball no accidents, we go out every 2 hours and as soon as he wakes form naps and were good...
but...
hes not yet telling me he needs to go out unless hes in my lap (he starts squeeking) when on the floor though he still gets sidetracked and doesnt tell me he needs to go...
goign to have momma send me my pup bells for the back door and see if i can teach him that since general telling me isnt working...mabe he'll take to bells easier?
i do have to keep reminding myself though, even though ive had him for almost a month now...he is still a baby, hes only 8 weeks old...im not failing at potty traiing just forgetting his age lol.
speaking of ages...
the crestie pups are 4 weeks old today.
the Powderpuff female is officially on hold (her deposit arrived yesterday) and will be going home jan 12-13th, her new daddy will be flying in to TN from MASS, driving to come pick her up then driving back and flying her home in the cabin with him LOL...i move all the way to TN and sell my pups back to new england LOL!
the hairless female has a very interested party (interested since birth) and is offically "pending deposit" just waiting for that deposit if its not sorted by monday i do have someone else interested in her...
so that leaves the powderpuff male looking or a good home...not bad considering i slacked big time with getting a waitinglist for this litter.
they are also growing like weeds, offered them puppy mush this morning for the first time, theyll lick it off my fingers but arnt willing to try the bowl yet...will offer at least 2 more times today, no rush to wean them, but there at the age where they need to learn how so thatll be some messy fun lol.
will be weighing them tomorrow also for their first deworming, and will be deworming ruby at the same time, my fecals always come back negative but best to be safe than sorry.
i got my fishtank filled too, and then whent and bought some zebra danios for it...that was a week ago...
i have NO idea where the danios whent but there not in the tank anymore...i can only assume the filter got them...or the cat..but there only a tiny acess panel at the back neer the filter...either way, its got water in it and looking pretty, mums shipping me the pots and some plants from my old tank so thatll finnish the tank out with plenty of hiding spaces and ill re-attempt fish...levels are all looking good and i keep feeidng the tank...so its just a case of letting it cycle.
makes me happy though to see it together.
things in the house are going, the livingroom painted makes me happy, need a couple of chairs or a loveseat in here now just to finnish up (and have enough seating for when people come visit)
otherwise, not much to report.
mum had surgery yesterday for her other rotator cuff, so waiting for an update about that, i know she did fine, but nooens been on skype.
whent to the dr myself on Monday, they did labs...B12 is still on the low side but not low enough to warrent shots aparently (211-912 is "normal and im at 221) but he wants to re-check in 3 months to make sure it stays that way.
got my deppo shot too so thats good for 3 months...
couldnt adress the back issues at this visit so im going to call and make another apointment for that, i need something stronger than tylanol for the pain and cant take aleve because its an NSDAID...so...
but otherwise that whent well.
i picked up my christmas gift form the parents on monday too (i cant use it untill christmas, but they wanted to make sure i got it in time so had it shipped to the local walmart...im the proud owner of a kitchenaid mixer (there planning on buying the attatchments for other events lol, id love the meat grinder with the sausage stuffer and the pasta one...
this one didnt come with the dough hook or wire whisk either so id love those
I also know what my brithday gift is...
its a vacume cleaner, a shark navigator "professional"...
i realy need a vacume cleaner and knew if i didnt ask for one as a gift, id have to buy myself a much cheaper one and cheap dont typically last...so thats due to arrive next monday...
my Birthday is on Wednesday of next week
ill be 27...*blink blink* whered this year go?!
im not expecting any other gifts, but if i end up with suprise money...im planing on getting the rabbit pens sorted...i want at least 1 pen and 1 hutch/arc before srping so i can get the meaties started.
this month the goal is to pay a chunk off the credit card, and either get the bedroom or kitchen sorted...
ill be replacing the floor i still cant get over the carpet...in a kitchen...and the back door in the kitchen, so i need dads help with those so which room comes first will depend on when my dad comes to visit.
That's GREAT!
Congrats on everything!
