A Little Happy....
So I got this in my email:
And I went ahead and bought this:
You have no idea how happy/excited I am right now.

For fuck’s sake lads(
YES! This news will make my sister happy which will in turn make me happy.
Happy New Year!
We’ve started a new astrological year everybody, it’s spring time!
Flowers start to bloom, babies animals are born, and the sun will shine more brightly, or for the first time in a long time for some of you. When I think of all the things that take place in nature during spring I am amazed with its parallels to life. But definitely not surprised. There’s a reason why the phrases “spring fever” and “spring cleaning” have been coined. Spring is a season for births and rebirths, fresh starts and new possibilities. Winter killed what was and allowed the earth to become bare so that new ideas/romances/flowers/etc could come forth and not be hindered. If only our minds wouldn’t stand in the way. The air is full of Spring’s energy, the Sun ready to warm your skin. Take the time to allow the essence of spring to really empower you and revitalize you. Start a new project, open up your heart and life to new possibilities, make a conscious decision to forget the past, etc. No matter what, move forward. And know that this year will be a great and is full of possibilities. Enjoy the the journey of watching/experiencing them unfold.
It’s a time for new beginnings you all. EMBRACE IT!
Happy Birthday to Meeeeee!
UPS finally came! From my Hannah-Banana!That huge cupcake is a coffee mug!
She knows me so well, I love it! I love her!
(I, with the help of our other friends,used to freeze her bra and undies during sleepovers, sometimes they’d be found on the tree in the front yard. Clearly she doesn’t hold that against me.)
patience + tears = big payoff? here's hoping... →

so today oscar and i went to the vet’s for a check-up. it has been 2 weeks since we have been on bed rest heading into our 3rd week. so far, so good. we have both shed some tears, and while he is being patient in his crate-boundness and i in my care for him, the road has been a rough one. and unfortunately, i predict it will only get worse as he gets better and wants to enjoy this beautiful weather we are having.
however, the vet said he looks good. we have to continue bed rest for 4-6 more weeks and hopefully things will be better for all of us. while his walking has not gotten worse, it is still a bit wobbly at times. but i have noticed tiny improvements which can only be a good thing. tomorrow we visit a vet acupuncturist that some friends recommended and we shall see what they have to say to help us help oscar.
so when we were leaving the vets’ office, a lady was standing at the desk with fresh tears in her eyes and she reached out for oscar. she said her doxie was having the same issue in his back, but that they were opting for the surgery. as the receptionist gave the the lady her receipt i saw the woman’s husband put his arm around her and she started crying again. while the whole process of deciding to have surgery done on your pet is a hard one already, the price should not be something that effects us that much more. there are more important things to worry about than having enough money to save your friend. this is why i have decided to start a foundation:
Four Paws Make a Home: A Foundation Funded by Friends for Our Furry Friends
as i have said before, we are going to start small. jacob has made a t-shirt design that our friends nick and eric will print for cost and we will sell them for $10. all of the money will go to the foundation that will help us help our beloved furry friends if ever there is a need. having brainstormed a lot, other ideas i have had are benefit shows with local bands or charity kickball games. after hearing our story, so many people understand the need for this kind of help.
we are going to get the shirts printed up soon. they will be black/half-tone on white. i am hoping to maybe have more designs in the future to showcase ALL of our furry friends but here is our first design:
i am going to set up a gmail account so if you have any questions, or pre-orders please feel free to email me at fourpawsfoundation@gmail.com. we are going to get the shirts printed as soon as possible so we can get this thing started. thanks for reading and going with us on this journey. we have the best friends any one could ever want, furry or otherwise.
all my love.

No wonder my legs feel like jell-o. I didn’t realize I had biked so far today.
are you a bike racer? that’s a pretty fast 8 miles
Awe crap! I forgot to erase that time - I’m out of it. No way dude. Over the course of the day. I wish I could bike that fast! I’m gonna fix that.

Lately...
…my feelings toward people, situations, and just everything in general have been intensified because of everything that’s been weighing on my mind. I just want to thank one of my dear best friend’s Tabitha for helping to keep me level headed and putting things into perspective. You have a beautiful way of looking at the world. I just wanted you to know.
Anytime my dear. I love you! You know for a fact you would’ve/have done the same for me. I swear it’s like talking to myself. I love that!
