Pee @ MindSay

I'mjust gonna touch on politics b4 I move on to somethin' else.  They are off to the races..full throttle.  The McCain camp and Obama's. A poll reported the other day that Palin is now more popluar than McCain or Obama.  Wow.  We'll see how it translates in November.  Rubber meetin' the road then baby.

 

Ok the other stuff is my son's playing football.  Alex who is 9 9/10 years old (he turns 10 in a a week or so) is the starting running back and watch out pee wee!  He scored a TD today dragging 3 or 4 defensive players down the field with him.  sweet!  Andrew my 8 9/10 year old (he turns 9 in 2 weeks) is a running back who can also play defense and loves to tackle.  They're both the fastest on the team (not bad for a couple of white boys ;)   I'll be updatin' on this. Hey I can gloat!  ALOT of hard work got them to this point...not to mention some good genes.  I ran track and my husband is STRONG and 6'4"  The boys paternal grandfather was the No. 1 "drafted" high school quarterback going into college back in the early 50's.  Ok, I'll stop bragging.

 

Speaking of football...GO COWBOYS!!!!! I can see the New stadium from down the street...hugely sweet.  Superbowl for the 'boy's this season?  Potential is absolutely there.  The kicker is, can Romo take them through the play-offs?  That remains to be seen.  He still has yet to win me over.  Yes, he's good, but he's no Peyton Manning (luv him) or Tom Brady.  However everyone wants to build him up like he is.  It's time to put up or shut up...that's all I'm sayin.  No more smiling after flubbed plays .   I've been watching footbal since I was 5...anywhere care to discuss it?  I'm all ears.   Peace!

One day I will look back over previous entries and remind myself how fortunate I have been. Yes I would love to write that I have the house to myself, but I would be lying. I would love to write that I have kept a perfect attitude, knowing this is all going to be over soon, but that would be another lie.  What I have done in my absence is continue with the process of eviction, filled out more complaints of harassment and  made sure I protect myself, both physically and mentally.

So many things have occurred since my last entry that I don’t know where to begin, I guess I will simply give a list and be done with it.

Mr, Howard took the pleasure of urinating on a new sectional less than 10 feet from the bathroom

changed the locks to both his private entry as well as the door that leads from his bedroom to the living room

Finally figured out why the music was so loud, Mr. Howard decided to drill speakers directly beside the air vent in his room (go figure it of course go’s through the entire house).

Still no payment since May ( New Jersey has a cap of 3,000.00 for civil suits so don’t know if I will be able to get all money due as far as utilities/theft and damages done in he residence)

I could continue to go on, but no one reading this will be my judge and see in my favor, so I will do the only thing I can…continue to know that nothing stays hidden in this life and the truth always come out. Please continue to pray for myself and Mike Howard, our next court date is this Friday the 8^th. I am praying that the eviction will be enforced and this chapter in my life will be over.

FYI the Nina Simone and Smokey are great. I don’t take any chances leaving them loose in the house or the backyard after he let them out, but other than that they are great.

White rabbits!

 

Yeah... That's supposed to bring good luck if it's the first thing you say on the first day of a month.

I don't know if it applies to specific months, or one specific month...

 

March is the month with my favourite month name.

I mean, how cool does it sound?

 

MARCH.

 

Although, white rabbits was not the first thing I said today.

The first thing I said today was:

 

"...And we'll get your ears through."

 

 

You're probably thinking: "...WTF MATE."

Well, that's what I said to Gina as I was putting her collar on.

 

She doesn't wear a collar in the house - she only wears it when she's outside or on a lead.

She has big floppy ears, and they'd gotten trapped underneath her collar.

I said that to her gently as I tried to free them.

 

 

 

This is Gina - laid on my parents' bed.

 

She was laid on my bed earlier, when I was cleaning my room. Cheeky cow.

 

Gina isn't our pet - she belongs to a friend of my parents.

They're away in India, so we're looking after her - as we often do when they go away.

 

When we do look after her though, she doesn't eat anything for the first day or two - but once she's accustomed herself to the surroundings, she'll eat something we put down for her.

If we let her eat anything from our hand, or from a plate on the floor - she'll be sick.

 

My parents took her to my nan's earlier - and apparently she was sick on her rug.

 

We were looking after Gina in Christmas of 2006 - and we'd put down a plate of turkey for her.

She ate it as fast as is actually possible - walked about four metres, then chucked it straight back up infront of the front door.

 

It didn't look much different to what it looked like before she'd eaten it.

 

 

When both of my parents are at work, I take Gina for a whizz on the field behind our house.

I've been asked by two of my friends why she squats to pee.

 

Quite simply - because she's a girl.

If you didn't know that - female dogs, or bitches - don't cock their leg to pee.

It's just like us female humans, we don't have a penis to direct our urine spray, so we have to sit or squat.

 

Whizzing in a forest is the worst for a girl - if you ever have to pee behind a tree or a bush in an emergency resort - you have to keep your balance, make sure you don't dall down with your arse in a pile of leaves and dirt - and you have to hold your trousers and pants back, to make sure you don't pee on them.

It's also a common accident to pee on one's shoes.

 

So boys - spare a thought for the females, who cannot aim their yellow expulsion.

 

I liked looking at the snow once Gina had whizzed on it when I took her for a walk on the snow-covered field last year - with a former friend of mine.

 

It was difficult for us both to stand up on the icy pathways, and I was suprised that Gina actually wanted to stay out in such weather - she doesn't like rain, wind, or fireworks.

 

I sat with her one night on bonfire night when we were all around my mam's friend's house for a party.

I was a little afraid myself - mainly because Gina kept looking like she wanted to bite me, although I just wanted to help.

 

 

 

 

Here's an extreme close-up.

- Taken by Adam, this afternoon.

 

Unless you really dislike dogs, I bet you can't stare into her eyes and not say "Awww!"

 

Go on. Try it.

Dixie dares you. :P

 

 

 

i didn't have a good day today. i've been having to go pee a lot lately, i mean a lot and i haven't been able to make it outside all the time. this morning gma took me out and she said i went 4 times in 2 minutes so she called my doctor and took me to see her.
   
now, i do not like the vet at all. most other humans there are ok, but she sticks me with needles and does other stuff that i don't like. today she told mom and gma to get some of my pee for her (she is one weird human)! anyway, they took me outside and when i squatted they pushed a tray under my bottom. i sure wasn't expecting that and looked around to see what was going on. they were laughing at me so i went somewhere else to pee, but watched them over my shoulder to make sure they didn't do that again. they didn't cause they had what they wanted, gma wasn't happy cause it was pink.
   
We went back in and she came in and tried to touch me. i snapped at her and she backed off. then mom wrapped me in a towel and a female took me to another room so she could poke and prod me (no needles). i had to lay on a cold table and they did something called xray and i got to go back to my humans. when she came back in i watched her close, but she didn't try to touch me again. i heard them say bladder infection and antibiotic but i didn't know what it meant. when we got home mom squirted some bad tasting stuff in my mouth.
   
i don't pee as often, but i'm very tired. i played for a little and took a nap. now i'm going to bed. maybe i'll feel better tomorrow.

I took my girl to the Hospital today.  She has been having urinary tract or kidney infections for the last couple months.  The doctor suggested we do a couple tests to see if she is having problems with her kidneys. 

She is four and is potty trained but she tries to hold the pee or poo in so long that sometimes she still has accidents.  Sometimes she will poop just a little and won't let me know for a few minutes.  When I have cleaned her up, I've noticed that (I'm sorry if this is gross.) the poop has been in the wrong area.  That in itself can cause an infection.

I'll get the results from the ultrasound and voiding systogram in a day.  I am confident that it's just the pooping in her underwear thing.  I just decided to follow her doctor's advice and get the tests.

Today, when we went I told her that she would have to pee on a table and that when the catheter was put in it would tickle.  Was I wrong!  Even though the technician numbed the area, she screamed and cried.  Then when it was time for her to release the pee she was so scared it would hurt.  She held her pee for minutes while screaming in agony.  She loved having her daddy there and relieved the Doctor assured her that it wouldn't hurt. 

I apologized to her and explained that I didn't understand.  She forgave me, so I am glad that she will be able to trust me in the future.

I guess, I am in shock (still) over what she went through.  I kept thinking that she was over reacting or just letting fear get to her.  I am finally coming to the conclusion that it could have really been painful.  When I was with her, I hugged and kissed her and cuddled even though I didn't understand her pain.   

The way the technician explained everything to me, sounded painless.  She even applied a numbing agent.  When I had catheters inserted I didn't remember any pain.  (Click!)  Maybe I had my epideral first?  I can't really remember, I was in labor.

When I was coaxing her to pee on the table during the voiding systogram, I remember thinking, "I wish I would have prayed and asked God if we should do this.  Maybe she doesn't need to go through this invasive treatment.  I just went through with it because her doctor suggested it and when I told my mom-in-law she was so relieved.  I wish that I would have really "done it" or "not done it" for my girl and no one else's expectations based on God's wisdom."

She seems to be doing fine, but for the first few times when she had to go pee was pretty scared that it would hurt.  She was laughing and playing around all night and it seems like everything will be fine.  If she brings it up, I'll listen.

I pray that she will stop holding her pee so long!  I don't want her to suffer anymore.

I was planning to take pictures, but it just didn't seem right.  I did take one before everything.  Maybe, I'll e-mail it to my family soon.  She looks so cute and happy and distracted to be at the hospital.
