REGGIE CAME HOME...

After 10 long days at the Vet Hospital, Reggie came home yesterday. He is still not out of the woods and is on strict bed rest, which I am sure you can imagine is not so easy for a 1 1/2 year old Yorkie. He is very happy to be home none the less, and I am happy to have him home too! He has some weird side effects from his injuries though; For instance when you pet him or scratch him you can hear/feel crackling under his skin from all of the leaked air popping(kind of like those packing bubbles). A bit disturbing! His lung also inflates on the outside of his ribs in between his skin and ribs, kind of like a permenant life jacket. Again, a bit disturbing! The Doctor said it all SHOULD go away in time.

On a lighter note:
I will leave for San Fransisco the day after Thanksgiving for a couple of days with my Mother-in-law and Sister(s)-in-law for a mini-vacation. Yay! I am so excited, but money is a bit tight with having to pay the large vet bills that I just paid (more to follow with check up and such). Oh well, at least I get a few days away. We are going to a Symphany, a play, and shopping. I just received an email about dress code, so I guess I have to go buy a Cocktail dress or Business dress of some kind. I have not yet attended a Symphany (so that should be neat), I love shopping, and a play should be fun (I really enjoyed the last one I went to, it was a hoot!)

I will write more later...buh bye...

We had a very Happy Halloween...

Our Halloween this year was safe, fun, and successful! Friday as most of you know was Halloween, and for all of us moms that means rushing around and chaos. Two of my kids had Halloween parties and parades. I had to be at the school with the Camarie and Natalie dressed in their costumes at 1:00 to help get Jeffrey and Mackinley dressed in their costumes. After helping at the school and attending Halloween parites until 3:00, I had to go to Nana and Papa's house so they could see the kids in their costumes, meet Aunt Charla, Scot, and Uncle Rex at Grandma and Grandpa's house for pizza at 5:15, and then of course trick or treat as soon as it got dark. Those last few hours of the day seemed like they were only 10 minutes.
Trick or treating was very fun! We walked around Gatewood to let the kids trick or treat for about an hour.
Gatewood was nice, almost every door had their porch light on and quite a few houses were decorated nicely, and we were given' a ton of candy!
I would like to formerly thank Halloween for these next few lbs. I will be gaining.
Hope you all had just as much fun...
