Endometriosis Awareness Month 2012
I love and support my bestest friend, Nikki!
Wear yellow in support of those suffering.
Tried to get the dogs in on the support, too...
but as you can see, it didn't go as planned.
(Blurry, Brodie not looking at camera, Ezie's missing a head)
Mom didn't have a yellow shirt, so I made her a bracelet.

Ezie adventure...
Ezie, my 5 pound Chihuahua, decided to make my weekend a little more interesting. I had gone to use the computer in our apartment complex “business center” Saturday evening, so while I was gone, the pups were in their kennels. I wasn’t gone very long, maybe two hours at most. At some point in that time, Ezie managed to hurt herself. I’m not sure how she managed to do it, but I noticed the dewclaw on her left front paw was sticking out sideways.
The only thing I can think of is she got it snagged on her bedding, as she is in DESPERATE need of a nail trim. She had a slight limp and was shaking and loving me up and didn’t want to move around much. She shakes more than usual and gets extra lick-y when she’s in pain, and I’m not sure why. Anyway, that’s when I noticed the nail sticking out. I wasn’t entirely sure what to do about it, though she obviously she needed a vet. It was bent right at the toe, so I wasn’t going to mess with it. If there was going to be blood and pain, it wasn’t going to be my doing. As it is, Ezie wouldn’t let me near her foot. She’d fuss with her leg, licking at it and sniffing at her toe, and then she’d cuddle up against me again. (Or follow me around. I have an old pillow randomly lying on my bathroom floor at the moment, and during a bathroom break, she followed me in and cuddled on the pillow. I don’t get much privacy with my dogs.)
After a while, Ezie seemed to be doing ok. Still cuddly, but she started acting as usual. I was paranoid about her injuring herself further, though, so when she started getting extra feisty and tried to jump attack Brodie, I decided it was time for rest and put them both in their kennels to eat. The rest of the night was pretty mellow.
With my weird sleep habits, the pups spent Sunday morning in their kennels while I slept. I wasn’t willing to risk more injury to Ezie’s toe. When it was time to wake up, she was jumping and running and altogether making me nervous about her stupid nail. I had plans for a few hours in the afternoon, but once I got home, it was time to go to the emergency vet, regardless of her peppy behavior.
We’d been in the car for maybe 5 minutes, having gone maybe a mile or so, when I noticed the nail was missing. Where the heck did it go and when did it fall off? Mom pulled the car over and we inspected Ezie’s toe. The nub of nail remaining on the toe looked painful, and she still wouldn’t let me touch her foot, but there was no blood. This is positive, right? It means it wasn’t as bad as it looked. I’m still a little worried about her toe possibly being broken, but with the nail being gone, I don’t feel it’s such a risk of more injury. So, we turn around and go back home. After dropping Ezie off at home we went to Dollar Tree for some junk. I found the wayward nail on the floor of the car.
We’ll get her into the vet within the next few days for her nail trim, and if she’s still acting bothered by her toe I’ll have it looked at. She seems to at least feel better without the nail hanging off sideways, and I didn’t freak out when she attacked Brodie to play, so that’s good.

midnight mutterings.
I got a random urge to write a pointless blog post at about midnight (Sunday night/Monday morning) but because my computer access location is closed, I couldn’t run across the parking lot and log on lol. SO I’m typing this on the dinosaur computer in my bedroom. I’m going to add it to my flash drive when I’m done, and post it later. Good plan, if I do say so myself. I’ll probably do a couple of entries this way, actually. Ok… let’s move on.
Last May, we got a new sectional sofa and new table/chairs set. I'm pretty sure I blogged about it all at the time, but lacking regular access to a computer, I was never able to post the pictures I'd taken. It's not really very exciting to me anymore because the couch turned into an annoyance pretty quickly. Turns out it was cheaper quality than it appeared in the store. Part of the couch was delivered broken because it couldn't withstand the pressure of the delivery guys’ couch-tie-strappy-thing carrying it up the stairs. We got the stupid thing "fixed" but I'm not impressed and I want to smack the no-longer-cute guy at the furniture store that lied about it being MADE IN OREGON. Friggin' sticker on the bottom of the couch says “Made in China.” It figures.
ANYWAY, please enjoy these blurry pictures of our “new” couch, table and chairs. Yes, that’s my cat Doohickey; previously annoying cat turned couch potato with the arrival of the new couch. (That was weird getting used to. She didn’t sleep on our old couch very much.) And that’s the first meal enjoyed on our new table. It tasted a hell of a lot better than it looks in the picture.
Also, a random photo of the cake I made for my moms birthday, May 31st, 2011.
I’ve decided to add a page to my blog for projects I’ve done. So far, I mostly have some pictures of jewelry I’ve made more recently. I never used to think about taking pictures of my completed projects. Some of which include: wooden tic-tac-toe boxes with clay game pieces of various themes, random magnets, pens with fake flowers attached and wrapped with floral tape. I used to be pretty into making cute soaps and jars of bath salts, too. I’d say most projects I’ve done haven’t been amazing lol. Some of the jewelry I make is pretty quick and unimpressive, and some I take my time and have positive results. With my new addiction to pinterest.com, I’ve found an abundance of amazing craft projects I want to try. It’s a craft project idea overload and I love it! One project I’ve seen on the website and have recently started is making necklaces out of metal washers from the hardware store. It takes a little patience, of which I tend to lack, but so far, I’ve had positive feedback. Once I get more necklaces fully completed, I’ll start taking pictures. I’m pretty excited about it. (I’d probably be more excited if my new paper punch wasn’t such a butthead, but that’s a rant I decided to skip for this post.)
Does “Fur-Kid Friday” have a good ring to it? I’m trying to decide if I want to start a weekly blog post. Some people have one, like Wordless Wednesday, but I’m not so sure if I should start one. With my luck, as soon as I get good about posting once a week, I’ll end up losing my regular internet access lol. Anyway, my thought is posting pictures of my pets every Friday. I’m just not sure if it would be new pictures taken during that week, or any pictures I feel like posting that day, or both. If I decide to stick to only posting pictures of my pets once a week, I may not have anything to post about every other day lol. My life is rather boring… it’s all about my fur babies. Speaking of which, Brodie is now 5 years old as of March 8th, Ezie will be 3 in May, and Doohickey will be 6 in June. My babies are growing up so fast! Insert a sniffle and a single tear falling here. ;)
Well, it’s 3 in the morning and my mind just went blank. I guess that’s all for this post!
I'm adding two digital-scrapbook pictures before I end this. Haleigh! And Cocoa. (RIP 2010)
