All the cool kids are doing it...

The boo-boo buddies

We have definitely needed a sense of humour to get through this weekend. Less then 30 hours after chaos was bit his friend mako was too. We were with the dogs in the backyard hanging out with some friends and mako was bit over a tennis ball. Another trip to the world's best vet and more stitches! Both dogs are recovering well and have no lasting damage- just scars.

9 stitches

yup, the little monster now has 9 stitches in his back leg. he's resting on the dog bed at my feet and is still in a stupor from the sedative that the vet gave him. I ended up going inside while he was waking and hung out in the pen with him. When I went to pay the bill he got up and followed me to the front office. he was a bit loopy and still is. he even fell when he tried to walk upstairs to the condo so dave carried him.

he hasn't had a bath in over a month and was actually headed home to the tub when the incident happened. Looks like he really will go through anything to skip tubby time!

we went to the norwood vet today... they tend to be a little more comforting even though they are further away. Dr. Taylor even matched the bandage to Chaos's Boston Red Sox collar and made it look like he had his on Red Sox on...

Ouch

Chaos is currently hanging out with the vet after suffering a bite from a German shepherd. He is fine but needs a few stitches to close the gash. The vet will also give us some antibiotics to keep infections away. He is a tough pup and was limping but in good spirits until the vet sent us away. She sedated him to make the process easier.

hippy games

the weather rocked this weekend so both days we drove outside of Telluride and did some climbing. the second day our hippy band grew from 3 people and 2 dogs to 6 people and 3 dogs. good times were had by all~ especially the puppy monsters

my blackberry

I think I overcompensated for my lack of phone features... instead of just getting a basic phone I got the blackberry pearl. This is commonly called a crackberry as users tend to become addicted. I can now:
~see who's calling
~send text & pic messages again
PLUS
~sync with my outlook address book and calendar
~email on the device
~surf the web
~upload my own tunes for ringtones
~upload my favorite pics onto the phone
~and many things I haven't begun to figure out....
Loving the email feature and am getting pretty good at crackberry typing as well. The pearl has a QWERTY keyboard but has 2 letters per key to keep the size compact. Oh yeah... it's also pink.

staying in touch

my cell phone is having some operational issues and it's messing with my world. my exterior display and internal display work intermittently. This means:
~I can't read my text messages or send them
~I have no idea who may be calling and what picking up the phone may entail
~I can't use the camera phone and send out pix messages
~I have no idea who I may have missed a call from
~I can't access my contacts in the phone and therefore can only call my speed dials or by dialing the numbers (how retro)
the kicker is that dave and I have the same exact phone model that we got at the same exact time. As you may know dave is a little tougher on little gadgets then I am given that his lives in the pocket of his work pants along with 2 handfuls of dirt, paint chips and other pieces of stuff. His phone looks beat up but works fine. Mine is still clean and pretty but has these issues. This been going on for over a week now and it's only getting worse. I finally broke down and ordered a new one but now have to wait for it to arrive....

hikes and taxes

we've finally completed our 2007 returns and are questioning why the IRS doesn't consider Chaos to be a dependent. He seems pretty dependent on us to provide food, water, potty time and fun stuff...

...like hiking and skiing. He went out Friday, Saturday and Sunday and is one exhausted pup!

the end of the season...
