End of the World?!?

So yesterday was supposed to be the end of the world according to the Mayan's. Well here I am today so I guess we survived haha. It was a bad day for us though here's why.....

Sorry for the icky picture. In case you can't figure out what those are those are dog teeth. I have 2 dogs. One is a puppy mill dog and has a lot of issues. I love him but he's insane haha. Then I have Izzy. She is one of those dogs that you are lucky to own in your lifetime. She is my little baby. Wednesday evening I noticed a golf ball size swollen lump under her eye. I called the vet and they said it was more than likely a tooth issue. They got us in Friday morning. I dropped her off at 9:30 which was really hard. I was very emotional about leaving her cause dogs just don't understand those kinds of things. I was very proud of Jeremiah for comforting me and saying Mom she's not just a dog she's your baby. The house was so sad without her here being my shadow. We went back to pick her up at 3:30pm and she was so out of it she had no idea what was going on. Come to find out she had an abscessed tooth and it ruined the tooth beside it so she lost two teeth. They gave her some meds too. The vet said I could have the teeth to put under her pillow. I just wish I could get the $200 back from the dog tooth fairy....Ouch!

Last night she was in a lot of pain and was very out of it. Today she is back to mostly normal. She's still being careful but from someone who's got a tooth pulled I totally understand her pain. She's taking her meds fine as long as they are covered in yummy meat haha. So it felt like the end of the world but at least now she is on the mend.

We leave to start our Christmas traditions tomorrow. We head down to my dad's house to spend the night. We are going to see The Hobbit and we'll watch National Lampoon Christmas Vacation. That's our tradition. Then Christmas Eve we wake up and do presents with my dad and Step mom. Then for lunch we head over to my dad's mom and dad's. We have a nice visit and open more presents. Then for dinner we head to my mom's mom's house. Yet more food and more presents. My poor tummy haha. Then we come home to have the sleepless night before the big morning. We can't wait. I'm like a little kid waiting too. We keep asking one another Is it Time Yet?!?!? I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog.

So glad The Izzter is doing better, and BIG kudos to J for keeping you relatively calm. ;o) Hope you enjoy your time with your dad and Bev. Miss you guys.

Oh sorry about your dogs teeth troubles! I guess I should take better care of my dogs' teeth too. Are we supposed to brush them?
