General Update
Mar. 5th, 2009 12:58 pmThe vet gave the puppy a clean bill of health. The only issue was that she had a few worms, which is to be expected in a puppy. He gave her some medicine for that, gave her a dose of monthly flea treatment, and her first set of shots. We go back in three weeks for another set of shots and some monthly flea treatment. He put her age at around six to seven weeks, and he didn't venture any guesses to her breed yet, probably because she's at that age where you can see so many breeds in her. Maybe in a month we'll have a better idea.
I have named her Sasha and the kiddo already calls her by name. She's been far more playful today and has been crouching down and barking at the kiddo when he bounces around the living room. She's been coming over to me to nip at my fingers and try to play with my hands. She has a little bone to chew on made specifically for puppies, so I hope she keeps using that as opposed to other things in the house. There were no ads run in the paper and Tofu says he hasn't heard of any other reports of anyone looking for a missing puppy. I have calls to make after speech today, and I'll leave my name and number at the shelter and another place that might get calls for people missing pets.
Speaking of speech, I cannot find the kiddo's speech folder anywhere, and it's driving me batty. I know I saw it recently, but I just can't seem to find it. I was going to do homework with him and it's just not here. It's not in the truck, and it's not in the usual places in the house. I cleaned up the living room the other day and didn't come across it. I'm going to tell his therapist I'm searching but that she might have to make him a new one. I hate that because he had some important work in there and now I can't find it. I feel like I am failing it so hard on the parenting front this week, I swear.
On the plus side, I finally got the kiddo's birth certificate from Tofu as it was at the other house. With it, I can sign him up for local t-ball today, and also schedule an appointment for Kindergarten testing (which I need to get a new copy of his social security card for that and his shot record).
I'm writing today. Finally getting over my block for Selene and will hopefully be able to get right back to it when I get back from Speech and t-ball sign ups. It feels good and I hope I can keep it up. I also have to do a lot of writing for my Ivalice character to help provide some background for an upcoming plot element.
Life has been kind of down lately. I'm trying to cheer myself up (hence the writing). I'm going to clean up a little more around here too, and for dinner tonight I've got a roast and some veggies cooking in the crock pot. That will be ready around five o'clock. Next Thursday, I'll be in Atlanta, coming back home on Saturday evening.
That's about all for now.
