I was so sad. When Kyle was saying bye to her, I went to the kitchen and boo-hooed.Then we got to the shelter, and I told the vet about her tumor/bump on her shoulder. They took her to the back, and then he came back and said that when she got hit, they had to give her a lot of injections/painkillers, and that is where they stuck them. They think that it may be scar tissue from those IVs. They said they would look at it and if she needed to go back to foster they would let me know. Then I asked if I could go see her, and they said 'yes.' They were mixing up a huge bowl of food, even though she had already had breakfast. I said 'Bye Roxy...mama loves you.' She started to follow me out of the door, and I said 'You can't go. You can't go.' Then when I closed the door, I heard a whimper. I cried more in the car, and then I drove home and cleaned up her bowls and crate. I have to wash her blankets later, but my house looks like a dog was never here. boohoo.. She was a good one. Maybe we should have adopted her.

They usually call me when she's adopted and the shelter is about to close, so I hope they call me tomorrow with good news that someone adopted her.

I agree with the others, you are a strong woman. I couldn't do it, either.

It's hard when the dog is good. When the dog is bad, I can't get them back to the shelter fast enough. Our SPCA has an annual March For the Animals fundraiser, where everyone donates $ and they walk a mile around a lake in the city. I volunteer every year with hopes that I will see one or two fosters. I have never seen any of them, but there are a lot of dogs/people there. Maybe this year I'll see Roxy hobbling around the lake. hee hee. This was the best and only picture where she looked like herself. All of my dogs have had their picture taken on that reversible sun/moon blanket.

PS. The witch showed up today. The mystery is solved. At this point, taking Roxy back was worst than that *^(^&&*^ showing up. HA! Maybe fostering does have its benefits.

 

[Sis4Us]

Sorry the WW showed her ugly face Terri!!! Onto the Bahamas Baby Cycle!!!

 

[nessaw]

Sorry about af terri.x

Terri....what a cutie! I hope you get to see her again too at some point. My husband sent me a picture of the cutest Pit puppy the other day and said " we went out on a call and we happened to rescue this puppy in the process, make room we're gonna keep her" I knew he was joking because he already says now how much work having 2 dogs is but she was the CUTEST little thing and had I saw her in person my heart would have melted. Lol.

And sorry AF showed up, looks like your vacation will be all sorts if romantic for real now! Pack up the lingerie and get your party on girl! Lol. I've always thought it was so romantic and cool when people say " we conceived while in Paris" or some other place. All of mine were conceived in the beautiful Garden State!

 

[Smiles013]

Here is something that makes me laugh all the time! I'm not a coffee drinker but I still find the picture funny! Lol. But to all you coffee drinkers out there I think you can relate.

 

[terripeachy]

The beautiful Garden State. HA!HA! That made me laugh (in good fun of course).

I like that dog picture too. That's how I feel this morning, as I wait for my coffee to finish brewing. Is your husband a firefighter or EMT, Smiles? Such admirable jobs, if he is. What do they do with the dogs that they rescue? Poor puppy.

I SO need this trip. Everyone at work is like 'you're going on another honeymoon??' I just say yes. HA!!HA!! My dad didn't get us a present, so he said he would send us on a trip somewhere. I figure 'go big or go home.' I have a feeling the check is NOT in the mail, but we'll make the most of it, regardless. Everything is just wearing on me, recently. Plus, I figure I have vacation time through work, so why not use it. I'll be miserable in the fall/winter when I'm out of leave. hee hee.

I guess I better file my taxes this week too so I can have a little bit of extra cash.

 

[Smiles013]

Terri....yes he is a firefighter. Admirable job...yes and I look at him in his uniform sometimes and just smile. Lol. Especially when he's in his dress uniform for special events. Whooooo... Lol. And in this instance that was someone's puppy he took a picture of who had their puppy there with them at the firehouse. Most times they take the dogs to a local vet. One of his colleagues I met he has like 7-8 dogs, some he found while out on calls and ended up keeping them! I love dogs and all but I could NOT have that many!

That's so nice of your dad and yes if you have vacation days, use them! I never carry any days over! Lol. This year I got an extra week due to my service anniversary and the timing was perfect, I already have plans on how I intend to use that week! Lol

 

[Sis4Us]

Pibble Puppy would have been mine no doubt!!! Mommy is a sucker for her Pitties!!

sorry for the AF ladies.

AFM - the cough progressed the last two days with a low grade fever and migrane. (even ff discounted my last 2 temps) I had to give in and take my Excedrin migrane last night. Felt really crappy yesterday. Doing much better today, but I hope I didn't destroy the IUI little guys before the eggs came down. I definitely felt BAD ovulation cramping on Friday night, but I only hit peak on the monitor this morning. And my temp is back down to what is was last week - of course I could have been running a little high because of the cough starting. ugh. I guess it is just wait and see...

 

[Sis4Us]

That wait is the worse Moni hope it flies By!!!

 

[Fezzle]

terri- she is adorable! I hope you get to see her again someday. Sounds like fostering is a good TTC distraction! We went for a hike today because the weather was beautiful and seeing everyone with dogs made me want one. We've decided to wait until we have children first though so hopefully that will happen soon!

 

[terripeachy]

Thanks Fezzle! She is a cutie. I hope I see her again too. How was your meet up with the Americans?

I think when we have kids, we'll be home more often, so we'll be able to get a dog then too. I like my freedom now, so a full time dog wouldn't really work right now.

 

[kfs1]

Just saying Hi. :wave: Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Anyone do anything fun?

 

[Sis4Us]

It rained on and off All weekend here so we just hung out at the house!!!

I did fry pork chops Sat and made Banana Pudding since the baby wanted pudding
The boys were super happy w Fried pickles and Chops!!

One more week and they have a week off for spring break can't wait we get to sleep in .... Not that the baby will let me I've been up a 5-530 every day!!

 

[terripeachy]

I just lost my reply.
Sis-Of course the baby wanted it!! Do you use the Paula Deen recipe for banana pudding? She uses Pepperidge Farm chessmen on top. Not sure if she uses them throughout the dessert. That is the only other one I will eat. My aunt makes it and I've become a snob because I like hers the best, and dont' want to try many others.

Friday I did schoolwork, Saturday I went out with my high school friends and then watched Frozen while my hubs entertained his friends for a basketball game. Sunday I went to church/worked. Bo-ring.

AF is moving out of town so I'm happy today. Time to get refreshed and start over. The March testing thread is a complete bust right now. I hope someone has good news soon.

 

[Wish4another1]

Ladies - getting ready to head to the dr... say a prayer I can make it through without crying my eyes out...


I am officially out for March...AF arrived through the night with a vengence...

this was an especially tough one as I tested after church - I did an OPK and PG test because as you know I was lost this cycle...well the PG test had a pink line - it must have been an evap - anyway... my daughter could see it as well as the DH... but when I retested 4 hours later - negative and this morning was confirmation...

I wish I hadn't said anything to anyone and just retested... I hate to get my husband's hopes up - since he has never had a child... I cried and cried on his shoulder and just kept apologizing...

now i have to go to the OB/GYN this morning and I am not feeling it at all... I really thought we were gonna have our miracle...

anyway... here is a picture of me standing next to a million dollars - my 5 seconds of fame... this is Charles Tillman of the Chicago Bears...
