So This last year or so I've been a slacker in posting. Lazy yeah but also kinda busy with other things. Still wish I was more consistent like I use to be.
So I missed getting my annual blood draw due to the preceding appointment running long and so when I checked the lab they had closed for the day. Been trying to get back in and have yet to have much time. Oy... Later that week dad told me that Tortaro looked like he had a chunk bitten out of his backside when he saw him outside my parent's place. I asked Paul to round him up (since he is the fastest) and bring him on over here so I could get a look at it. He did and when I got a look at it I knew he needed to get in to a vet ASAP.
Pic of his wound after Paul brought him over for me to get a look at.
Tried our regular vet and they where working on a dog so they could not take him that day so we had to take him to one up on the East side that they recommended. We go there and after all the regular waiting and talking to the techs and the on call vet we ended up paying $215 to get him stabilized and cleaned up a lil bit. Took home some pain killers and antibiotics and a cone. He seemed okay pain wise and in every other aspect except for the massive wound on his backside, that the vet had informed us it looked infected. They wanted us to come back that Monday or hit up our regular vet. So that Monday bright and early we rounded up Tortaro which has been staying with us and stopped by the other vet since they had handled him already. Got there and they had a look at him and said that he was healing so well on his own that they wanted us to just keep and eye on him and his wound to see if it would heal together and scab over without the surgery to pull his wound together and sew it shut.
Some of the pics of his wound healing together.
Another one later one. Don't know why it is so small of a pic. >.>
Right now it is only a bumpy healed area with a sliver of a cut left to heal with fur growing over most of the old wounded area. I'm so glad.
...I've yet to get back into the doctor to do the blood draw... Oy.
Found a ton of new music and books in the last few weeks. Really diggin' Little Lion Man by Mumford and Sons. Heard it on the radio and just loved it. Will have to listen to some of their other stuff and see if I like as well. Also looking into "Dropkick Murphys". They sound better then "Flogging Molly" but not quiet as good as "Enter the Haggis" so who knows. Also heard the new-ish The Ballad Of Mona Lisa by "Panic! At The Disco" and
Help is on the way by "Rise against". I have not really been listening to a ton of mainstream bands much other then the ones I fallow like "Linkin Park" so if these have been out for awhile oh well. lol.
Been spending much more time digging through the alt or indie stuff thx in large part to people at FA posting songs.
Also looking forward to getting my new cell phone and that it is going to be a Android smart phone! :D John got me hooked to Android phones by letting me play with his. I love all the fun and useful aps. Like Shazam that listens to a song that is play on the radio and can tell you the name of the song and band! Helped me tell John what the Panic! At the Disco one was among others. I really like this app. Also I'm kinda addicted to FourSquare so that will be fun to have a phone that can use it. Also gotta love the Google Maps GPS feature! It was such a life saver on the road trip this last year. Also for someone like John that could get lost in a paper bag it really helps. Just click the mic icon and say "Navigate to..." wherever you are going and it will direct you there even with voice directions and will also re-route when you need to go out of the way from its directions like if there is traffic. I also found a app called
doubleTwist that will let me transfer my songs from iTunes to the Android phone! So I won't have to carry both my iPod and my Android phone! Also the camera is better then the one on my old phone and is great since I don't like to lug around my expensive big digital SLR camera with me in my day to day errands. I love this camera app that John found called
Vignette. It allows you to do a ton on the fly pictures changes/visual effects (my fav is toy camera in B&W with a square border). Do I sound like enough of a ad for Android phones yet? LOL! Anyway I'm excited.
Also just saw Rach off for her spring break a-capella trip. Also tried my hand at french braiding her hair for her. Was not to bad, for a first time. Oy, need another hand when doing that. lol.
Anyway school is winding down around here and summer means the road trip so I'll still be busy.
