She is Finally doing a little Better

My Trick worked, She was happy to see me, showed me more strength and even tried to clean me a little. I Laid down with her for awhile with her on my chest. When she fell asleep she used my heartbeat as a rythym for breathing. I've heard of this trick before for sick rodents and Rabbits. After her LONG nap she had alot more energy. She volunteered herself a few licks of carrot baby food, but not enough, So I had to force some into her. She is Snubbing me right now, I'm glad she is, It takes alot of energy to hold a grudge, I guess she is getting better.

Not as good as I was hoping...

Drew just brought her home, Gave her her last dose of Medicine for the day, and force fed her some water. Then he left for gaming with the guys tonight. Wich he has totally earned after a roller coaster of emotion today, and having to force himself through a decision to have her put down or not.

She is weaker than I thought. I think the way Drew was talking about her, I was hoping for a more livley rat. Then When Drew left the room, she tried to wander looking for him, and it was more of a really sad stagger. I think she really wants Drew. To me she seems to have gotten worse while missing Drew, since he left. I've left her alone in the hopes that she will atleast be happier to see me when I come back, maybe get her out of her rut.

This time it's my Fault

Ok, So it's my lunch time and this time I called him... even though I dont want to know. Drew says she's doing good, She has stated to clean herself a little. Wich is a lot better than a rag of a rat gasping for air. I'm feeling like she will be OK.

Yeah For Mucus!

Drew called ( Again) and says she has finally started coughing up mucus. I hope she has the strength to fight. Drew says that he bought her some baby food an he is force feeding it to her. Drew sounded alot more confident. I think she will be OK.

Boys Never Listen

Drew called my work from his parents house, against my wishes. Drew was crying, I hate it when he cries, it's never good.He said the vet said her prognosis wasn't good but she has a very slim chance of recovery.So he opted to let her fight the odds.

There were a few different treatment options, Drew picked the ne that would leave her in our care, I agree with that, Honeydew is Very emotional and would probably get worse with separation. I Hope she gets better, Don't call me again Drew, I'll know when I'm home

My Poor Rat.

Last night very Sudenly, Honeydew started having some very Laboured Breathing, I just spent the night getting up to look after her. I'd feel a little better if she had some mucus she was coughing or sneezing up, Cause then I would know it was alergies or a cold. But there is none.

She got a little better by 3 AM . But now she is REALLY REALLY sick. Drew took her into the vet. I hope she will be OK. I Love her so much. I Asked Drew not to tell me anything either way while I'm at work today. So I have to hope for the best.

Pucker Up Butter Cup!

Kissing is the best !

Welcomed in Style

We made sure Adam and Jen would be Welcomed home in Style, We decorated their apartment with streamers and tones of balloons... Hope they loved it!

I Saved a Puppy!!!

Well Full grown female Dog.... Drew was running late for work on Sunday, So I walked from Ikea to my moms house. At Plains road and Brant street, all these cars were honking and swerving. When I looked into the intersection this poor rotty dog was quivering and didn't know which way to go. I went out into the road and took her to the corner and calmed her down, fashioned a leash out of some caution tape and brought her to the pound.

She had a current city tag, so they assured me they could track down her owners... Good thing they tagged her.

*** As Bob Barker says, always remember to spay or neuter your pet***

Another Happy Couple!!!

Congratulations Courtney and John!

Their wedding was beautiful, The Ceremony was at the Stoney Creek Battlefield Park. And the Ceremony was held at the Olympia in Hamilton. Their wedding had 2 fire shows AND an Ice swan, Pretty swank.


Have Fun on your honeymoon out East

Luv and Kisses

New Bike!

I Got a New Bike!

It still doesn't take away the sting of my other one being stolen, But this one is cooler. The handlebars sit a little higher , which is fun. It already has fenders and a carrier on the back. You can trust this will always be locked up :)

Bad Morning

My Bike was stolen, right out of our shed!!!

This is the 4th bike I have had stolen, and it sucks evry time. This most recent stolen bike I bought used for $25 cause I knew after 3 times I didn't want a perfect bike to be taken away from me again.

What sucks the worst about getting your bike stolen is that you know you will never get it back ( especially with these gas prices) But you can't help but glare at evry passing rider to see if they are on your bike, You can't help but invasion sticking a stick in their spokes, letting them fall forward, giving them a good hoof with your boot, and take off on your bike.

I am Never this spiteful feeling and I hate it.

What made me feel a lot better though was the message From Adam and Jen that I already posted... I'm glad they are having so much Fun! Hopefully that will make this Rainy Day a Little nicer

An email from, far ,far away ......

Hey All,

Just a quick note to say we are having a GREAT time in MExico. We
went snorkeling today (Wed) and yesterday we saw Chitzen itza (Mayan
pyramids) and swam in a sink hole. The sink hole was like a tropical
paradise so the name doesn't give it justice. Tommorrow we are going
to swim with dolphins!

This hotel is very beautiful. It is so ritzy that it makes us feel
like Thurston Howell the III (so really rich). There's open bar all
the time, even in the pool! They also made us a swan towel when they
cleaned our room.

Everything is really nice and time is going WAY too fast. Also the
trips we are taking are not included, so everyone's money gifts are
being well spent :)

BTW: Amy, sorry I'm a dork. I did accidentally take your camera. It
is also enjoying its trip to Mexico and is resting comfortably in our
hotel safe.

Everyone, thanks for all your help with the wedding and I hope the
clean up wasn't too terrible.

Lots of love,

XOXOXXOOX

Jen and Adam Filipowicz

The New Couple

Oww !!!

Dance Like nobody is looking, and love like its never gonna hurt.

Love can make your heart dance, and dancing can really make your feet hurt!!!


Yesterday, I woke up and rolled out of the bed, Put my feet on the floor pushed myself off the edge of the bed- then found my cheek on the plushy carpet.

OW!! My feet hurt. They were not gonna hold me up. As I laid there for a second trying to register what happened and why I was on the floor, I took invetory, my calves, and back my abs, my ribs, arms, even my little finger - they all ached like I had been hit by a mack truck. I was thinking, why do I hurt this much?? I had to think back to the night before.

I think I danced almost every song. The D.J. Ted, just wouldn't stop playing songs that you had to get up and dance to. As a song would end, your heart is beating so hard, you think," I'm gonna go sit this next one out", and an even better song comes on and you push yourself through another song. I don't think 4 hours of dancing and jumping around in 2 and a half inch heels was the smartest thing to do to my body.

I'm still a little sore today, at least I can walk now, I think I'll go send some hate mail to the DJ for the pain he has caused me :)

It Went off with a Hitch... ( as it should have)

They are Finally Hitched!!!

Adam and Jen's wedding was B-E-A-utiful!

Right about now, they are in a plane soon to land in Mexico for their Honeymoon.


I am so incredibly happy for them.

To tired to write much now but more updates to come soon.

The Big Wedding

This weekend is Jen and Adams Wedding!!!

We have their rehersal to go to tomorrow, and the Big day of course on Saturday. They take off on their Honeymoon early Sunday.

I am so excited for them, for this big celebration with all their familly and friends. Mostly though, I know how much bliss they will feel sitting on that plane to Mexico. When its all said and done, there is no more planning, no more worrying who sits next to who, and what could go wrong, or what they need. When they know they are FINALLY Husband and Wife, and they can hide away in their new aparment for a little while.

Good luck Adam and Jen! I know you will be so Happy together.

My Dad Visited

I've had a pretty busy week, We got home from pennsic, wich was AMAZING, and we were pretty tired. Pennsic is one of thoose recreational vacations that makes you come back more tired than when you left, and needing another Vacation.

On Monday, my dad called us and said that he had a ride, and a few days in wich he was coming to see us. I was kind of torn. I miss my dad like crazy, I don't see him hardly ever, but also our camping stuff was still strewn about the house. We barely recovered and were looking forward to a few days of quiet.

Well not much we can do about that.... So on Tuesday, When I was done work, off we went to Burlington to pick up my dad. His stay was pretty fun, he managed to rip apart all our computers and make them run faster and better. We made good friends with his Dog Cooper. Cooper is a cross between a White Shepard and a Golden Lab. ( I don't know that we will ever get all the hair that he shed out of our house :P )

Drew and Dad got along pretty good too. They jammed on their guitars together, ordered way too much fast food. The went shopping for Guitar stuff, Computer stuff, the wandered the pet store. And they even bought matching DVD burners. Poor Drew is now left feeling like he wants to buy out Best buys stock. Fortunatly the funds are too low.

Dad left this past Tuesday

I'm pretty sure I will be seeing my dad with less than 6 months between visits now
