Shitty week turns into shitty weekend

I have not posted is a while because we have been sooo busy lately, and we are still busy so this is just a quick update.
Our bulldog did indeed have parvo....but that was just the tip of the iceburg...it seems that she also has red mange, degenerative hip failure, and that thing that we had operated on last July (her third eyelid) is also inflamed again and has to be operated on again as well....these three things are genetic defects that she inherited from one of her parents and she will pass them on to any pups she has as well.......so for those reasons our vet informed us that she needs to be spayed.......freakin great...so it looks like we have the most expensive pet ever, on top of the $400 dollar vet bill now.
Sunday morning hubby decided to go down and push mow our pasture...after about 15 minutes I hear the door open and he comes in and tells me we need to go to the hospital...it seems he tripped and fell and the mower rolled back on his foot and cut the end of his shoe off...so we race to the hospital and get 16 stitches is his big toe....so he is now an invalid limping around the house...my poor baby...at least they were able to save his toe though.
All of this on top of working 12 hr days for the last 5 weeks...on the bright side though, at least all of our taxes are now paid and we will have the money to pay the large vet bill and hopefully get square on some other things before our overtime stops....ohh well. Better days have got to be coming...........someday.

Happening's

Well I am now working on my 5th week straight of 12 hour days....overtime sucks. The money is great though. We are slowly starting to get caught up on all of our bills. I finally paid the sales tax and got my car licensed last week. I was only uhhh..4 months late...oh well, fuck um if they can't take a joke...better late then never. We also purchased a much needed lawn mower..there went another $1,300. Hopefully this one last a little longer then the one we bought 2 weeks ago....yes, you read that right. You see, hubby and I purchased one from Wal-mart 2 weeks ago. We brought it home and mowed with it once and then the damn thing wouldn't start. So we took it back to Wal-mart to exchange it for the other one they had in stock just like it, and the retarded stock boy picked it up by the very flimsy hood of it rather then by the wheels like you are supposed to, to load it on the trailer. In the process of doing so, he ripped the entire top off of it...fucking moron. So anyway, that is taken care of...again.

Apparently the people that came and bought the next to last Shih-tzu we had brought Parvo with them...nice. We ended up losing the last pup. It was a sad day. But to make matters worse now our English Bulldog is acting sick. She is a year and a half old so we are hoping she will come out of it. The icing on that cake is our very small town vet, that we just love and I just spoke with on Tuesday of last week, passed away last Thursday. I guess is had a heart attack. So now we must take our animals to tiny town vet who charges at least double what very small town vet did.

Hubby and I went to local farm store last week and as we were waiting in line to pay I look over and there goes my adoptive mother on her way out of the store...she pretended she did not see us. Hubby was looking right at her and saw her look at me then look away. Bitch!

Spring...the season for tics. Now that we are on the subject, last Monday 15 yr old, 11 yr old and I were standing in the kitchen when 15 yr old looks at 11 yr old and says "You have something on your eye"....11 yr old brushes at her face and 15 yr old says "No it's still there", which peaks my curiousity so I turn and look and it is a freakin tic. Attached right where your eyelashes meet the eyelid....yeah....that was real fun to remove

Well...that's all the information I have to share today...rather boring I know. I will try to think of something interesting to blog about next time, right now I am to freakin tired...so till we meet again, farewell
