The Nest

Sorry about that. I just needed to get that off my chest!

Oh wow. I'm sorry you had such a horrible day. Hopefully you'll feel better tomorrow, and I'll try to send good thoughts your way.

I you feel better now it was worth it. That did sound like a really bad day.

 

I do feel better, thanks for the thoughts. I can tell when I'm really upset because I end up with lots of typos and grammatical errors in my posts. lol.

Holy crap, girlfriend.  That was hardcore.  You have some good karma coming your way, that's for sure.

I'm sorry about your dog, I hope everything works out.  

Well damn. I heard about that BART thing. Sucky. I'm sorry you got stuck in it! I hope your dog is okay. Poor pup (and poor pup parents!).

Holy cow, that is a bad day! I'm sorry. It's officially after midnight though, so day is over and you get to go home in a few minutes.

I'm sorry about your doggy.  I hope the next couple of days run a lot smoother for you.

I am so sorry for such a terrible day.  I hope things get better really soon.  I am sending tons of good thoughts to your dog.

Sheesh!! That day really sucked. I'm so sorry. I hope your dog is feeling better and that things start improving. It's days like that that made me believe in astrology. You just know your planets are not in alignment or something. ((hugs)))

I'm so sorry.  I hope your dog okay.

Yikes...that's a really bad day. Keep us posted about the puppers. I'll keep my fingers crossed and my Bailey and Barley girl will keep their paws crossed for a speedy recovery! That poor little girl has been through a lot!

Here's to hoping you have a great 4th of July!

Holy crap! I'm so sorry, that must have been terrible!!

I hope things with your dog get better soon! Poor thing. 

Holy crap, that's a lot that went wrong in one day! I hope everything improves by next week. Poor doggy!

Ah, the joys of owning a boxer.... That really stinks that your pup is going thru this, especially after all that she's been thru. We've experienced the drained bank account due to vet bills too, so I know how you feel.

I'm sorry you had such a stinky day but I hope that things get better, for you and your dog!!

That is an awful day!  Poor puppy and poor you!

BTW:  I just looked at your bio and your wedding was GORGEOUS! I love how personal it seemed!

Thanks for all the thoughts, ladies!

I just got done with the vet. I got them to show me how to put the IV on my dog and give her shots so I don't have to leave her there (they are closed for the holiday anyway). You learn something new every day! I now know how to give IV fluids to animals. Anyway, the dog is doing a lot better. The final toxicology screening won't be in until monday but the fluids seem to be perking her up. 

She's the most ridiculous dog... the longest we've ever gone without going to the vet since we've had her is three weeks. 

Anyway, thanks for all the well wishing. Today is already MUCH better. I get to work from home instead of the office and I'm going to BLEACH my entire house to make sure there's no residual bacteria from what she has. 

On the flip side, I think I'm done with my vet. She doesn't give us straightforward answers and they overcharge us for everything (not something I can keep doing with a dog with this many issues).

Does anyone have a vet in the inner east-bay area or San Francsico proper that they love? Maybe even a holistic vet that you've worked with that you like? 

 I'm glad we decided not to go camping with her this weekend. Looks like she'll need to stay in. 

Ugh, you poor thing! What a day!! I'm glad your dog is all right. Sorry I can't help on the vet thing. You live so close by me we should have coffee sometime. And I can reassure you about being in the ghetto

Yeah, totally! Coffee!

I've come to terms with living here. I love it for the sentimental value, but you can tell no one has really done anything to keep the city up much in a lot of areas. I see the other side of town where we get our CSA box from is so nice and then I come back to our 'hood and it bums me out just a little.

Sometimes I go to the mall and chat with the shop girls just for fun. Honestly it is the teens that scare me the most because they have no respect for anyone and think they can get away with anything without repercussions. I stopped my shopping cart to let a group of them go by in the grocery store and I was staring straight ahead, spaced out. I guess one of the girls thought I was giving them the eye because she got all worked up and started calling me a b*tch. I just rolled my eyes. They're exasperating. Like 15 year olds trick-or-treating (too old IMHO) and screaming slurs at me after I gave them candy because I had a No on Prop 8 sign on my lawn.  What's up with my HOOD?!?!

I do Heart my next door neighbor, though. He's 96 years old and he waters me lawn and takes out my trash. (Despite numerous requests for him to take it easy)

Yeah, I had a hard time with my students over Prop 8, they were VERY divided on it. I had a girl crying because her best friend was in favor of Prop 8 and she herself has an aunt who is gay. She was devastated her friend, who is a sweet girl, just didn't understand the issue. IDK, to me teens and adults are often similarly immature. I've had adults do the same thing to me as what happened to you with that girl. Sometimes it's hard for me to tell the difference between people my age and my seniors. I had mostly really good kids so I think there's still hope. Anyway, email me if you want to try to set up a time. With summer I'm pretty open. hannikan at yahoo

Yeah, are you ever interested in doing coffee and the saturday farmer's market? I'm not around as much on week days (unless it's at night) but weekends I'm generally here at least part of it.

Yeah, sure that would work. Not this one, of course. Maybe next weekend? Let me know.

Yeah... ;)

My friend is getting her engagement photos taken at my house next weekend, but I can't remember which day... let me double check and get back to you. Farmer's market is right by my house on Saturdays.

I know the Vet in Mill Valley right on Blithedale is supposed to be great. My friends SWEAR by them. I should give you my number... I live in SF... for about a month more, and I'll continue to work here. If you need a ride or something like that... I could help. Let me know.
