Burnt

I’m exhausted.. I have SO much to do and I’m beat!

Today I attuned my friend to Reiki. The one who has the dog with bone cancer? yeah, her. I hope that it will help all of them. It made more sense to me for her to be able to share Reiki with her dog since she’s right there and it will also help her feel like she is helping (which she will be). Of course, I’ll continue to send Reiki on a regular basis.

But that was most of my day.

I still have to:

1. Blog for the Paranormal Blog
2. Work on my homework
3. Make 6 collars
4. Order supplies for said collars
5. List the collars I already have made in my etsy shop.
6. Catch up on my blog reading.. . priorities you know.
7. Um… crud I forgot… there was one more (at least)

But right now I’m going to make smoothies, turn this thing off and probably go to bed.

Night!

A Peanut Butter Tip

We use Peanut Butter to give Targ his soloxine twice a day and Qor her hydroxizine when she needs it (like now because Tree pollen is freaking insane right now). It’s handy because it clings to the pills and also makes it hard for them to spit them out.

With the news about Transfats being really bad (which I’ve always thought anyway) we have been using natural peanut butter for the kids. To be honest, I’ve always thought that a lot of peanut butters tasted like peanut flavored crisco.

Teddy Peanut Butter
The problem wtih natural peanut butter is that all the oil floats on top and you have to mix it in. Messy messy messy.

Here’s a tip.

Before you open your jar, turn it over. Leave it upside down on your counter over night. Most of the oil will migrate to the bottom. Then flip it back over and stick it right in the fridge. By the time it chills, the oil will be mixed in. You might have a bit on top, but nothing like the 1/4 inch of peanut oil sitting on top taunting you.

Does this look Brindle-y to you?

I can’t believe I’m doing this… Targ thinks he needs a blog.

Does this background look brindle-y?

Got Bullmastiff?

I actually managed not to vomit

Every morning, Targ gets eyedrops. His vision was getting VERY bad to the point where I was afraid to let him meet new people without them speaking to him first. I really thought he was going blind.

Fortunatley, these new eye drops (technically ointment) are working wonders and much of the occlusion has receeded. <– is that spelled right?

Anywho.. so to give him eyedrops I have to sit next to him and wrap one arm under his chin (this hand holds the drops) and the other over the top of his head to open the eye.

This leaves me no free hand to hold the cap of the tube. Sure, I could put it down but the stuff goooshes out of the tube so fast even after I take the pressure off that I want to get the cap on quick! (the stuff is $36 a tiny tube- yeah, I’m being careful!)

So yesterday, I sit next to the beast (who is not happy with this new morning routine) and take the cap off the tube…

I open my mouth just enough to put the cap between my lips… when…

::shudder:: I’m still freaked out…

Targ shook his head.. and a big GIANT wet, slippery slimey slinger of drool whipped of his head an INTO MY MOUTH!!!

GAH!

Blech!

In the 8 years I’ve been in Bullmastiffs, I’ve had dog saliva on my clothes, in my hair, slung into my food (I picked it out), on my icecream cone (yes I share) on the walls everywhere…

But slingers are “special”.. they cling.. they hang and dry that way (just look at my ceiling fan). They are cold and sticky…

and gross tasting…

Just in case you were wondering.
