Miller Time

Something to remember this November when we can’t seem to 1. win at home 2. win against the worse teams in the league.

Miller feeling better on ice, discounts trade talk off it in wake of rumors

“My comment about my status with the team now is I’m proud to be a Sabre, I’m excited for what we can accomplish moving forward and I want to be a part of it. There’s no reason for me to want to leave the situation. We have great new ownership who’s excited to put a winner on the ice and I want to be a part of it. For me to want to change that situation and get out, I think the grass doesn’t get much greener than it is here.”

SNOW

Ok. So you can’t tell it’s snowing from the photo…but it is it is it is. And I’m jumping up and down with giddy glee!

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it SNOW!

Pinterest

Pinterest: I’m addicted.

And I’ve spent much time over there the last few months instead of…here. I get to dream about our wedding, our future home, our future kiddos…my future crafty projects, my shopping lists for others, recipes I want to try! And so many PENGUINS!

You?

Is The Internet Killing Sperm?

“He points out that most men do not ejaculate, put their sperm under a computer, and then expect to get someone pregnant with it.”

Morning

Way too early this morning. Jenny has to get a ride into the office super early because the truck has a flat tire.

Me: I. Hate. Mornings. (Especially when overtired from insomnia the past few nights…)

He Who Makes Me Smile: Can you hate mornings…from the shower, please, dear?

Me:

And this is one of the million reasons I love him. Instead of biting his head off, I smile.

Dani Cat

In other cat news, the last time we saw Dani cat over on All Things Jennifer she was doing…better.  Starting to come around! Hurrah!

Well, come around she has. He Who Makes Me Smile and I now have dubbed Dani Cat our most affectionate feline friend!

Her favorite place to hang out is still mostly behind the one couch, but that’s only if she isn’t on one of our laps. Yay! A lapcat! Dani has such soft long pretty hair and is light as a feather. She’s uber-affectionate right up to the point where she WANTSNOTHINGTODOWITHYOUANYMORE and then tends to nip and scratch and run away. Typical cat.

Dani occasionally sleeps in the bedroom with us now too. She likes to sneak up to our heads and lick our hair in the morning. She has somewhat accepted living with the dog Henri and the one cat Tubby, but my boys still aren’t fond of others so she stays away from them.

Oh yeah, she also likes to help He Who Makes Me Smile study his Derby Referee Signals. Hahaha.

Our little Dani has come a long, long way…thank goodness. I know she misses her mama, but I hope she ends up loving us just as much. So far, so good. Of course that was before we needed to take her to the vet for possible ear mites…

Simba Cat and the Giant Puffy Ear Hematoma

Giant Simba Cat is not letting me get a close-up on his boo-boo so these are the best I can do.

After that STELLER Bills game this past Sunday, I noticed Simba Cat had a very puffy, pillow-like infected ear thing going on. I called a vet on Monday morning and took him into the office today where I found out my baby has ear mites and an ear hematoma that needs surgical attention.

I was ready to leave my baby behind for surgery the next morning but when I went to find out the cost and pay…guess what? They needed a full payment up front. Full. Despite offering a down payment of $400 and paying the rest when I picked him up the next day (total was to be $790) I was told I had to pay for everything in full.

Grrr. (Payday is Thursday.)

So instead of leaving behind my poor guy who was looking at me with this sad face…

The vet cleaned his ear, gave him medicines and I took him home. Surgery is scheduled for Friday morning. And my baby will be wearing a conehead for several…um…two weeks?

Don’t ask me how this is going to work. All the cats go in the basement through the tiny cat door to eat, drink water and poop because the dog Henri apparently enjoys eating cat poop from the litter boxes. I don’t want to sequester Simba Cat in the basement, but he is going to need a litter box somewhere. Oy vey.

We also need to take each and every pet to the vet soon, very soon, to treat them for ear mites and fleas as well…since Simba Cat got them somewhere, they are all likely to have problems. Today’s visit was $135 for the simple treatment so I assume that is what it will cost for the other 3 cats. And Henri, well, he will probably need additional care for his fatty tumors.

Fur babies can be expensive.

I feel like a horrible mama for letting Simba Cat and apparently the others go with ear mites and not know about it. Yes, I know I need to have regular vet visits etc…etc…etc…but this costs money. And when you don’t have a lot of money, you make do with what you have and sometimes end up with a $790 vet bill for your poor kitty cat that could have been avoided with proper health maintenance.

Sigh…
