My so Charmed Life

She spent a little while this morning running at full speed from our bedroom to the small spare bedroom. Then she managed to jump onto Maggie in the hallway. Maggie was less than impressed. I’ll do an actual post later. For now I need a nap. I got up at 4am to study for an exam today. Well worth it though (I think/hope KOW) I think I rocked it.

Zoë got a bath today and kept throwing her head back and howling. I’ll have to have Misha record it next time. After we were done she ran around after Maggie and curled up with her on the bed. Too cute.

I put some videos up on Picasa Web. Sorry if they are a little shaky, my hands aren’t very steady. If they don’t load just hit refresh a few times and they should work. I’ll do a real post after I’m done with exams.

Looks like I spoke too soon. Baby attacked Zoë and I ran her to the vet. Zoë was howling and crying the entire way there. There was so much blood I was certain that Baby had severed an artery or something.

Turns out Zoë is just a huge drama queen. Baby bit her ear and she was bleeding from there but nothing else. All the way to the vet for nothing, they must think I am crazy. I think a lot of blood came from Baby. It looks like Zoë must have gotten Baby back. She had blood on her face, her nose, and in her mouth.

All of this on a day where I feel like crap. Thanks girls.

I have some sort of stomach issue right now. Like the whole 9 yards. I hope it’s like a 24 hour virus or something, but I really don’t want the Misha to get it…

This is freaking miserable. Like truly miserable. I’ve learned today that puppies don’t care when you are sick. They want to play regardless. Damn puppy.

I’ll post about her vet visit once I’m feeling better. For now I have to try to get the rest of my reading done and try not to throw up.

Oh, my one grip about the Flip is that it’s not drag and drop. It’s a lot more involved. That’s why there aren’t any videos up yet. I’ll try to load them to Picasaweb if possible.

The puppy had a very busy first day. To make it easier I’m just going to outline it in bullet points.

• Car ride from home to airport
• Saying goodbye to puppy lady & her husband
• Being placed in a crate for the flight
• Plane ride from Nebraska to Denver
• Plane ride from Denver to Houston
• The airline telling me she might not be on the flight as she was not checked in in Denver (Okay, that’s part of my big day, but still)
• Car ride from the airport to her new home with two complete strangers
• Getting two baths because she was so stinky (She is getting another one today)
• Going to another new house to meet her new friends Ashlea & JH
• Meeting her new big sisters, Baby & Maggie
• Coming back to her new house and playing with the girls and her toys
• Going back to Ashlea’s house for a party
• Meeting a bunch of new people and playing with two little girls
• Going to PetSmart right before they closed to get a collar and leash
• Trying to go to sleep in the PetSmart kitty bed display
• Going to Little Bigs because mom was craving ‘shroom & cheese sliders and fries
• Falling asleep mid-stretch in the car on the way home
• Going home again and playing with the girls
• Passing out for several hours

I think I’ll end there since everything else (pooping in her cage, crying until I decided she might be hungry and eating a huge meal, keeping me up for 3 hours, two middle of the night potty trips*, finally falling asleep when I let her lay down in my bed**) was after midnight.

In all she had a huge day and took it quite well. She’s really funny and playful and she seems to be pretty smart too. Baby was playing with her this morning. She really seems to like her a lot. Maggie thinks she is her mom and doesn’t like it when Baby plays with her. It doesn’t look like we will have any problems with Baby and the puppy (kow) but we might have problems between Baby & Maggie over the puppy. Hopefully Maggie will chill and everyone will get along. (I’m crossing everything from my fingers to my eyes and my toes right now.)

I’ll post videos once I get them off the recorder.

*She actually went potty both times and this morning when we were coming inside she ran back out and pooped some more before coming inside
**She had to be under the covers and managed to steal my pillow this morning. Must be a wheaten thing

She is still without a name, but from her personality I think she is a Zoë. We are going to decide tomorrow. She’s had a huge day and passed out at about 11:30. I’ll do another post when I am more awake about her first day.

Maggie has decided that she gave birth to her. Baby is doing really well with her and doesn’t appear to want to kill her (kow). Maggie and the puppy woke me up at about 3am and the puppy had pooped and peed in her cage. It’s to be expected though. I took her outside and then she couldn’t quite settle down. I decided to feed her and she ate like we had been starving her. Now I am waiting to take her back outside to potty. I’ve got another 5 minutes. She is sound asleep in her exercise pen.

Misha has been putting pictures up on Picasaweb and this link should work for now. I will be changing the album title once she has a name, so I will update with a new post/link then.

This blog stopped being anonymous a while ago. Since I am only technically employed and don’t have that to complain about there’s no point. I’m dropping the Hushbear. No, not in real life! Just calling him Hushbear in the blog. I started out calling him Husbear which made sense. However this is a husbear. Of course the Urban Dictionary definition:

In gay male relationships, a significant other who is a “bear” (A term used by gay men to describe a husky, large man with a lot of body hair)

I wouldn’t mind having that butch fireman for my husbear!

Anyhow, since I don’t need to be anonymous any more and don’t really like the term Hushbear it’s out. I may still use it on occasion, but I think almost everyone reading this post knows that my name is Season and his name is Misha.

Oh yeah, we pick the puppy up in 4.5 hours!

I have everything set up for tomorrow. All that is missing now is the puppy!

I got an email from the puppy lady tonight. The puppy had her vet check up and everything looks great. She told me not to let her potty at the airport because there are so many germs there. She said that we should just wait until we get her home. Not something that would have even occurred to me. She also said that the puppy will need a bath when she gets here but she doesn’t think that she will have problems adjusting.

I’m excited. We’re less than 48 hours from getting her. D & T picked up a really cute blanket for her at Ikea tonight. I’ve found a collar for her. We got her a small pink puppy collar but I found this adorable green/blue argyle collar.

The puppy lady also sent me a picture of her with her sisters when she was smaller. She’s so cute! She’s the one in the middle and I think she is the only one with her eyes open. Puppy lady said she was the first in the litter to do everything.
