Mid-Week Randoms

Happy Thursday, Y'all!

 
Let's just recap my week thus far, shall we?

 
  • It's been a busy week! I actually worked yesterday from 6:45am until after 5:30pm...that's a long day at a desk people!
  • Thank goodness I got some new nail polish thanks to my BFF, Brooke and was able to relax last night by painting my nails this beautiful color. LOVE it!
  • On Tuesday we went to our niece's softball game and had a great time! We took Louie with us thinking it would be fine because we took him to the ballpark several times last year. Well, they have changed the rules and added "No Pets" to the sign :( He stayed with us and was on my lap the entire game, but it looks like that will be his last softball game! Sad face! He had a good time:

  • I got a new phone through work this week too and I am loving the IPhone 4s. Siri is my friend!
  • Along with the phone I have several new apps, including Instagram! Follow me here @ylimedonaldson!
  • My First Instagram Photo: Peonies from our yard!
  • I'm on the hunt for the best IPhone apps, so fill me in our your favorites!
  • Louie has been so funny this week, his personality is hilarious! Tell me, what did we laugh at before we had a dog? He lights up our life!
  • Louie gets so excited when we come home, we love it! He will jump and jump and then run, its so cute!
  • All the flowers we planted last weekend? Well, most are doing great but our double inpatients are not. Looks like we will be doing some more planting and rearranging this weekend. It's okay though, I like it!
  • In other Louie news: I just talked to the vet and we have a new plan for his heart worm treatments. It just breaks my heart that we are dealing with this still...it has almost been a year since we started treating him, and the end still seems far off. Now we will be giving him Doxycycline (you know, anti-malaria meds/) and heart worm preventative meds (HeartGuard). Apparently this could potentially weaken the already adult worms so they can respond to other treatments and prevent/kill baby worms before they can grow into damaging adult worms.
  • Louie will stay at the vet next week one day to be observed, just to make sure he doesn't have any reactions. So please lift him up in prayer! And me too...my nerves are already kicking it!
  • We booked flights to Florida this week! We will be on a little vacation over the 4th and I am getting excited! I am also getting nervous because we will be leaving Louie.
  • While we are on said vacation, a friend from church will be staying at our house with Louie. This way, at least he will be in his normal environment. I really hope he adjusts well while we are gone. Does anyone have any tips or advice for making this happen?
  • I thought about ordering Louie a Thunder-Shirt for while we are gone, hoping it might help keep him calm and relaxed. Does anyone have any experience with these? Here is some info about it.
  • I'm SO excited to watch Grey's Anatomy tonight...but I am sad about who I am 90% sure is going to be killed off!

So fun that you have an iPhone! I'll have to follow you on Instagram. Poor Louie, hopefully the new meds start to help him. My friend just bought a Thunder shirt for her pup and it works!

I added you on Instagram! For apps, I LOVE Shazam. You can use it to identify music. When a song is playing, you use the app and it tells you who sings it and you can even go straight to the itunes store! I also use Swackett for weather. It tells you what to wear based on the weather.

Also, if you have a Nook ereader, there is a Nook app where you can read your books on your phone. :)

You need to leave Louie at your house for a few hours with this friend. Even maybe go as far to at least put your suit cases in the car. Buttercup knows when we are going somewhere, she really starts panting. Nala tries getting into the suit case. Maybe not take suitcases cause maybe he'll think you'll be coming back that same day if you do the suitcase thing. But I would definitely have the friend over and leave them together in the house for a little while.

I'll be upgrading to an iphone in Jan. My stupid phone is going to die before then I'm afraid lol.
