Fenway Park Seats

Some people have commented on where we will be sitting at the game. Here is a picture to show the lovely view.

Supposedly, it is supposed to be right in this area but 2 or 3 rows down. Not too bad. True pictures shall be posted after the real deal.

BOSTON BOUND BABY!!!

So today, we got everything else finished off. We now have everything done and paid for. The only thing we pay for now will be the money we spend on the trip. Everything else is taken care of. We have our game tickets, airline tickets, and our Hotel room. We are Boston Bound for sure now. We booked our plane tickets and hotel through Orbits and got one heck of a deal. It was amazing how much we saved ($1335 to be exact). We are staying at the Sheraton Boston Hotel. With Orbitz, it gave us the choice of having a regular room or upgrading for the same price to a Club floor room. Well obviously we went with the club floor. By doing this, we get so much more. The Club floors are on the top floors and there are 29 total floors so we expect to be pretty high up there with AWESOME VIEWS. With getting the club floors, Club guests have access to the Sheraton Club Lounge which comes with a complimentary breakfast, evening hors d’oeuvres, and snacks and beverages available throughout the day, message chairs, and much more than just the standard rooms. With the reciept, we got something that says it would be Raulph Lauren Style decor so we are expecting it to be nice.

These are just some collage pictures from the hotel.

This on the other hand is one of the Club suites and as you can tell, it has an amazing view. We are hoping ours is only half this good.

And this is the Club members only lounge.

Anywho, I guess this will be all the updates on this topic until after the trip then of course, there will be plenty of pictures and excitement. We cant wait to see the Red Sox.

You would think he was Starved

So me and Trent were eating pizza and Bullet won't beg but he sure will stare. It was so funny cause we look over at him and he is just salivating thinking of that pizza. We could not help but to just laugh so hard at him.


In the picture, you can see the drool hanging from his left side (the right side of the picture). We had to get a picture, it was just too cute and pitiful looking. Bless him, you would think he is starved to death. Not. He has been home for 2 weeks today and he went through 20 pounds of dog food in 1 week and 5 days. Yes he is a pig but I would like to look at it as if he was trying to gain his weight back that he lost.

Yesterday we went to sign the papers stating Bullet's bills would be paid for. The vaccination company sent us a letter apoligizing for Bullet getting it and stating they were paying the bill in full. Me and Trent were very shocked. The total of the bill was only $500. We were expecting it to be much more however it does not matter since we don't have to pay for it. We are just so very thankful for that.

Anywho, I just had to share Bullet's starving moments.

Wow the Excitement just keeps on building up

K so we just bought our tickets to the game. We will be attending the game on April 24th against the Yankees. Oh my gosh what excitement. Now we just have to get our motel room and airfare. We are not going to rent a car as we thought becuase they have trains, subways, trolleys, and shuttles everywhere. I can not wait.


We are going to be sitting in the light blue number 11 seats. Looks kinda far up but from the picture on the RedSox website, it will not be as far up as it looks. RedSox dugout is underneath the light blue number 14 so we will be pretty close to it.

We will be reserving the rest of our stuff at some point later today. Trent has court and then it is time to finish off our planning. We are so so so very pumped and can not wait. Me and Trent had mentioned it and then someone from work commented on it, it will be quiet the humor to watch all the Northerners try to make out what I am saying. I called to check on a Hotel the other day and they could not make out what I was saying. I can only imagine that will only be the beginning of it. lol.

Too cute and funny not to share

Trent went out to get the morning paper and as he did, he saw the little neighbor kids walking from house to house with their mom. They were so bored, they made a huge basket of dog treats and were taking them to each person in the neighborhood with a dog. Too know these kids, it is so funny and not surprising at all.

Trent brough them in and they smelled a little peanut buttery and they actually looked like peanut butter cookies. Since we dont give him dog food, I told Trent to taste a little bite and see.



And this is what we got. Yep it was dog food. haha.


To say the least, Bullet loved them a little much, smelled them on the counter and jumped up there to get them. We seriously got to ask the little kiddos how they made them since Bullet loved them so much.

So THANKS little neighborhood kids.

Vacation of Our Lifetime

I am so so so SUPER PUMPED. We have finally decided what to do for our Anniversary. We are going back to our original idea and I can not wait. We had decided to save money and not to do it but we decided that it would be a VACATION OF OUR LIFETIME AND ONE NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN so we are going to BOSTON TO SEE A RED SOX GAME. We can not wait. I have been looking up info and within the next few days, I will be booking the tickets and the hotel room. Trent is going into work tonight and turning in for our days off and I will be calling Monday to get mine off then turning in my request when I get to work. We will be going the last week of April and be seeing the best games ever. It will be Red Sox against Yankees. Boy oh boy what a game. We are going to try to make it to 2 and buy one set of good tickets and one set of maybe bleacher seats so that we can see a day game and a night game. Anywho, it is time to go to bed but I was so pumped so I had to post it.

6 AMAZING YEARS!!!

Wow it is so hard to believe. Me and Trent have been together for 6 amazing years today. We were just saying it does not seem that long at all. And then to think back. We got engaged 2 years ago today. We have been through so many trials and have overcame everything that God has put us through and we can not wait to continue our journey and our future to see what God has in store for us. We were also just talking this morning about us being married for going on 9 months now. It seems like it was literally like just maybe a month ago. Man it is amazing at how quickly time flies by.

Update on the baby

I am still keeping mom updated on the progress of her Grandchild. lol. She is supposed to be coming to see us this weekend so hopefully nothing will change but here is a picture and video of him eating. I swear he acts like he is starved to death. He loves the food the vet sent home with him. I told Trent I thought we should just buy him some to give him every now and then since he loves it so much. The only bad thing about it is that it smells like tuna and yeah it makes Bullet very gassy so just imagine that one. That is a bad thing because me and Trent both can't stand tuna, not even the smell of it. Yuck. Whatever it is that helps him though. He is doing so much incredably better. He had 3 bowel movement last night alone. I knew he just wanted outside.


Sorry if the video looks a little grainy, it was from my cell phone. This was his first meal on Wednesday morning. Still acting like a piggy.

Here he is standing in his cage with his head out eating but this showed his new bed we made him. Don't know if I ever told the story but last time we bought him a bed, we all went to bed and like 15 minutes later he was barking like crazy. I told Trent to get up and check on him becuase something had to be wrong, Bullet just does not do that. Well within 15 minutes of being in the cage, Bullet had torn the bed to shreds. Yes shreds. This time, we made our own. We bought a pet rug from walmart and wrapped it in a twin size blanket so that it would be thick and fluffy for him yet there would be nothing to chew since he would think it was just blanket. Well, for the first night, it has worked. he slept on it and loved it. Hopefully he will not tear it up and this will work.


This was all of 30 minutes after being home. He was back to normal. He loves sqeaky toys as you can tell.

I tried to post another video but could not get it to post and it was taking forever so I decided not to. It was just a video with his slinging around a ball on a rope.

When he came home, he had 5 new toys and a new bed waiting on him. No, he's not the slightest bit spoiled. Grandpa Haddock had to come see him since he finally got to come home. It is amazing how everyone missed our baby, not just us.

He is doing great and can't wait for his Granny Vaughn to come see him this weekend. (hint hint: no backing out).

As for me and Trent, we are doing great. No complaints here. We are just waiting to hear back now if our home owners insurance is going to cover for us a new unit. We shall see.

More Pictures

So mom called and was hoping I put 1 specific picture on here. I texed her a picture of me and the baby and It was not a very good picture due to it being taken with a cell phone but here it is plus some better ones taken since I last posted. Daddy is not in them becuase he was trying to put something together while I was loving up my time with the Bully baby.

The picture mom wanted me to post.

Another good one similar to the one mom liked.

Bullet sleeping on his Mommy.


K so Trent was added in one. He took time out of putting together what he was doing.

He was looking so innocent.

HE IS HOME!!!

So I called back at 4:30 and they said he is ready to go. I was like really, he gets to come home? They said yeah the doctor thinks he is ready the only problem is he still has not had a bowel movement but they thought since I had told them how potty trained he was, that he was just holding it in. The only stipulation to him coming home, is that we monitor him and every time he goes potty. Ok, no problem. I can do that. I was so excited, I jumped in the car in a flash and was gone. I got there, they said ok, drive to the back and they will bring him out. 1) they never ever even mentioned the bill which reconfirmed they shot company was paying for it. 2) they would not let him walk to the car, they carried him and actually sit him in the car (so that he would not touch the ground and make other dogs susceptible to it). 3) they would not let him go through the front door so that he would not be around other dogs. They brough him out the back. They sent home some food to mix with his regular dog food (which is the E2 that I previously mentioned). Well must I say, I do know my dog very well. As soon as we got him home, I gave him the chance to poop and low and behold he done it not even a minute after being outside and it was not diarrhea, it was a solid bowel movement. I knew it, I knew it. I knew he just needed to go outside instead of being locked up in a room. First thing when I saw him, I thought good lord my baby is a skinny mini. He was so happy to see me though. As soon as we pulled up in the drive way, he realized he was home, he stood up and went crazy and as soon as he went outside he went absolutely nuts. He was so very excited to be home. He came inside and got several new toys and not to mention, me and Trent made him a new bed in his cage. (last time we bought him one, it was destroyed within 15 minutes of him being in the cage so we decided to make our own). Here are some pictures of the baby.




The baby first time he ate when he got home and he went nuts. I have never seen him make a mess when he eats and food was everywhere on his carpet when he was done. They said he has been this way every since he has been eating again.


I love this baby boy. I was hanging off the couch to get the picture if you can't tell.

His daddy loves him too. He is playing with one of his new toys. One of the 5 he got while he was gone.



He was playing with 2 out of the 5 here. If ya look close, you can see his boo boo on his right leg from his IV.

He stunk so very bad when he got home. So his daddy gave him a bath.

We are so so very Thankful to have him home. Hopefully he will be better now and no more problems for a while. Unfortunately he will be contagious for 6 months and will not be able to be around other dogs for 6 months. This means now when we go to my parents he will have to stay here. That sucks so bad but I would never but Berlie (my moms dog) in harm by taking those chances. Anywho, the baby home for now. Thank God.

Ugh!!! Come on Bullet I been pep talking you all day!!!

Ugh. God I am so darn frustrated right now. So I call this morning and as long as he will just crap then he can come home today. Well of course we were in town so I stopped by at 3:00 to see if he had yet and of course not. Not such my luck. He can't come home until he craps and it is driving me insane. Yet again I would rather him be there and be better but good lord I want him home so bad. I am gonna call back at 4:30 and see if he had yet. I want him home so bad. Hopefully when they get him out this afternoon to clean his cage again he will just let it loose. I sure hope so at least. I had explained to them how well potty trained he is. He will not go inside, no way no how. I can not tell you how long it has been since he had an accident. He was a puppy, I know that. And they were saying it truly is sad if he really has to go but holding it in cause he is inside. Because Bullet is contagious, he can't be taken outside because it will then make other dogs vulnerable so they just let him run around inside his room which is a quarantine room. Ugh I totally understand they can not take him out and I respect them for looking out for the other dogs (I would appreciate that if I was an owner bringing in a healthy dog) but god it is frustrating the crap out of me cause if I was a betting woman, he is holding it in. Although, I know he can't hear me, I have been pep talking him all day. Just hoping he would have gone by now. He had diarrhea on Friday but has not had a bowel movement since then so he is definately overdue and will hopefully do it before 4:30 so I can go get him. Anywho on a happy note, they said he is so perky and so happy. They said his tail has been back there wagging like crazy going 90 mile an hour. I am so glad to hear he is finally perky again. They said he is still eating great too. He is eating what is called E2 which is food for dogs which have sensitive or upset stomachs. They will send us home with some of it. He has done well with it so we don't want to change anything until he is fully better.

Sorry, I am sure everyone can tell my frustration in this blog, I just want my baby home. If he stays tonight, this will be his 7th night gone and not to mention, me and Trent both work the next 2 nights therefore if he doesn't come home tonight, I would rather him just stay till Friday so someone can be there with him. Otherwise, he will be here all alone his first 2 nights home. Ugh. I can't stand it anymore.

Life is so Unpredictable

Today we talked to the guy about our heating unit. We still have not gotten it totally fixed due to the parts not being in yet. Little did we know, the part is not being made anymore so they are having to have it special made for our unit. We talked to our house insurance the other day and they did not question anything, they just said to have him fill out an estimate form and then to file a claim. The only thing is we have a $500 deductible. We told our Unit guy this today and he said he thought we would be much better off to just get a totally new unit if the insurance was gonna pay for it. He is going to write up everything for us and turn it in. Hopefully they will approve us to get a new one. This will be huge for us becuase we will then only be paying $500 for a totally new unit.

So today we called back to find out if the shot company was going to pay for Bullet's bill. They said all we have to do is sign off stating the vet can send Bullet's records to them and then they will take care of the whole thing for us. So they answer is YES. Thank God they are taking care of it, that helps us out so much.

We are looking so forward to bringing the baby home tomorrow. Trent mom wants to throw Bullet a welcome home party this weekend. She has somewhere to be tomorrow and I will then not be off till Saturday that is why we will wait 4 days after he gets home but I can not wait. It will be so cute and fun. You know I will have to post pictures of that.

Anyways the subject of this blog seems to fit us perfect right now. Seems like you just never know what gonna happen these days. We though we would just replace the parts to the unit. Who knows, we may just get a total new one. And Bullet, never would have thought everything would have gotten paid for but it is. We Thank God for being so good to us and helping us out financially in so many ways. Everything seems to be falling right into place.

Anywho, more to come tomorrow

Road to Recovery!

I called bright and early this morning to check on the baby. Good news, he is on the road to recovery. He ate great all weekend with no throwing up or diarrhea. He should be coming home tomorrow, all they are really waiting on is for him to show them a normal bowel movement. Most excellant, I can not wait to get him home. I told Trent that Bullet was gonna think I was craazy and he was gonna come home extra spoiled cause I am gonna love on him like I never have before. You better believe the baby will be sleeping with us tomorrow night.

I will be calling back this afternoon to see if they have heard from the shot company yet. We still don't know if they are paying for it or not so we will see. We sure hope so, that would be a huge burden off of us. Don't get us wrong, if he had to stay 5 more nights to get better, we would rather the bill rack up then to come home but we just hope and pray that they can take care of it for us.

I will be calling back at noon tomorrow to know for sure if he is coming home. Expect a blog tomorrow. And of course if he comes home, you will get some pictures. We are wondering just how skinny he is. We want to see him so bad. Me and Trent were talking this morning and of course they won't let us see him and we were saying we wish there was just a little nursery window that we could look through just to see him. We would be perfectly happy if we could just look at him. Yeah we are crazy we know.

Anywho, hopefully there will be the last daily updates tomorrow but we shall see. Until then, thanks for everyone thinking about us and all the Prayers.

More on the Baby

So today i had some questions for the vets office so as soon as I got in from work, I stopped by there. They said Bullet is doing really good this morning. He is actually eating today for the first time in 6 days. They said the did not want to get my hopes up since Parvo is such a roller coaster in dogs, then she knocked on wood, and said who knows, it could always change and him stop eating again tonight. She hoped and did not believe that would happen but with Parvo, you just never know and just like a human virus, you can treat the symptoms but have to let the actual virus just run its course. Overall though, she was very pleased with Bullet's progress just since yesterday. I asked, and basically, the IV is what Bullet needed all along. The IV itself with the actual Parvo treatments, have made such a difference in him. I am just so thankful we actually found out what it was and getting it taken care of. They said due to Parvo being so iffy, that they are wanting to keep him till at least Tuesday (which will make 4 and a half days of the actual Parvo treatment and IV) and not to hold her to anything because it all depended on how he was doing but at this rate, he will come home then. I am just so so so very happy to get such a good report this morning. I was a little upset because that was at 8:30 when I found this out. They closed at 12 today (an answering service then takes over) and I had my alarm set to get up at 11:30 to get a final progress report on him today but when I woke up at 1:30 I had realized I obviously cut my alarm off without knowing it. Hopefully he still has the same good report as he did this morning. I am also sad because I will now not know anything till Monday morning when they reopen. Everyone pray he keeps recovering so well and maybe just maybe we can bring him home Monday night. They did say that would be a very slight possibility.

Trent hollered at me earlier and told me he needed me outside with him. When I got outside, he had showed me where another dog had Pooped and Thrown up in our yard. That is so not good. 1, that kinda confirms that he just may not have picked it up from the vet office during surgery.
2, if this dog crapping in our yard has it, that is where Bullet more than likely got it and the unfortunate thing is Parvo can stay in the soil and on the ground for up to a year.
It really sucks knowing that you have to be so uncomfortable in your own home and your own yard that you just don't know where you can let your dog go when he is outside. You are so afraid to even take him out to use the bathroom. They say that it is usually pretty unlikely that he comes home and re catches it so easily. However, with Bullet's old sick poo and now this other dogs possible sick poo, we may just be totally infected around here. Kinda scary. Wish us the best.

Just a little funny to enlighten the situation. I talked to my cousin and her dad breeds dogs and has a ton of them himself, and he said when they send Bullet home on a bland diet to give him scrambled eggs. That is the best for them according to him. Well this then made me think of a really funny story. On mine and Trent's 6 month Dating Anniversary, I decided to surprise him at his apartment and cook him breakfast. I had fixed him bacon, sausage, toast, scrambled eggs, and it seems like there was more but I can't remember now. (I mean gosh that was 5 and a half years ago, lol) When I made the scrambled eggs, I cooked them in the bacon grease and they were nasty, he did not eat them. At the time, I did not like scrambled eggs so I did not eat them but he said they were nasty. Well, I thought it was ok to fix them in bacon grease to give them a little more flavor, obviously I was wrong or just did not know how to do it or something. Yeah I am a retard. How did he stick with me after that nasty cooking incident. Well apparently I am better now because when I do cook, he compliments my cooking. Thank goodness I got better huh, every man likes a woman that can cook right? Just thought I would share that funny story with everyone.

Well Hopefully I will wake up with some excellent news on my baby Monday morning until then we will just keep a praying for him. I will update when I find out more on him.

Bullet's Progress!!!

I know for the next few days, this may all be about Bully and there may be alot of post but I know several people checking up on him through this. I talked to the vet the first time at about 10 am this morning which is when we found out it was actual Parvo which is what I posted earlier than I checked back at about 4:50 to get another update. They told me to call each morning and each afternoon for his progress and if anything significant changed they would call me. When I had called, they said he was doing good. I wanted to know what good meant, like good as in better than when I had talked to them previously or just good? They said normally within the first 24 hours of starting Parvo treatment, that you really can't tell much difference, but they could tell he is a little better than previously. ahhhh sigh of relief. It makes me feel a little better that they can atleast tell a small difference but by no means does it keep me from worrying. I still just worry. With Parvo, you just never know. I will call back tomorrow and check on him around 10 and see how he is then. Hopefully by then they can tell even more of a difference. Today is day 5 of not eating so he has to get better and start eating. I feel so pitiful for him.

Today has been so emotional for me. I am going crazy. I was really happy cause my mom said she was coming to see me this weekend and now all of a sudden she is going to the Titans game and not coming to stay with me. That made me cry. I am so used to not being home by myself. Either it is the 3 of us there or atlease if Trent is at work, Bullet is there and that is usually plenty of company with just me and the baby. Well I am gonna be home all weekend alone. It is really making me miss family now. Who knows I thought about taking off to Manchester to be with family this weekend so I am not all alone. Who knows, we will see.

Anywho, Let ya know more tomorrow when I find out more.

Bullet sickly updates :(

So I called the vet at 10 am this morning to check on my baby like they told me to do and the news was not so good. I was so excited and ready for the baby to come home today. Instead, they tell me that he has PARVO and needs to stay at least 5 nights which means he will be there at least 3 more if not more. I want him to stay and I want him to get better. I know this is the best for him. However, it is driving me absolutely insane. Immediately when I found out, I started bawling and squalling like a baby. What if something happens to him? No dog could ever replace my baby. It is amazing how just a year ago I was totally anti animal and within the last 8 months, I have made such a huge bond with my baby. I love that dog more than I ever thought would be possible. Anyways, they don't want anyone coming to see him because he is in quarantine (not the word the vet used but the same thing) so I will be more than ready to see my baby when he finally gets to come home. For any of you who does not know, Parvo can be very dangerous and deadly to a dog. The vet says Bullet is a big strong dog and should be fine. I am gonna call and get an update on him every morning and every afternoon and hope for the best. They originally thought it was a mixture between nerves from his surgery and a stomach virus like I had said previously. They thought parvo but noticed he had all 4 shots so did not figure that would be it so did not test for it. Just so happens that the shot is 99% effective so about 1 dog in 100 in the world will get it. Yeah my problem child (whom is my baby, don't get me wrong) would be the 1 to get it. They ended up testing for it today since he was just no better and it obviously came back positive. They said the good thing is what they have been doing to treat the stomach virus, is almost all the things they do for parvo therefore, hopefully we have kick started it. Pretty much the only new thing they are doing is pumping him full of IV fluid now and keeping on with his antibiotics for the nausea and diarrhea. The vet said he has only seen 4 that he can name off in his 20 years of being a vet that has ever gotten Parvo even after having all 4 shots. One that just happened about 5 years ago. The one that happened about 5 years ago, he called the Shot company and they took care off all vet bills after the vet proved all shots and everything was given just like it was supposed to be. The vet has called and waiting on a call back from them to see if they will cover ours. This will be a huge huge help after everything they have done for Bullet. Total he will be staying at least 5 night and he has had tons of shots and being pumped full of IV so God only knows how big the bill will be. This does not help much for the simple fact my baby is still sick and what if something does happen but will help us out. Everyone please keep the baby in your prayers. I will update when we hear anything new.

Sorry if I skipped around everywhere in this post. My head is not all hear right now and my eyes and head is hurting from crying. I think you can still make sense of everything though.

Happy Real Birthday to my Trenty

So I know I posted about going out last week for his birthday but I was not supposed to be off tonight on his birthday. It is really slow at work so I actually got to be off with him the last two days. Boy oh boy is he spoiled. He got taken out twice for his birthday. We went out to eat again tonight for his birthday then his parents came over to our house and brought him a pecan pie, his favorite for his birthday.

Pecan pie is his absolute favorite. He could eat this 365 days of the year.

I sure hope he made a good wish with as long as he kept his eyes closed wishing. God only knows what good will happen with him after that long wish.

Me and the bubsy on his Birthday.

Happy Happy Birthday Baby. I loves ya.

My Sick Little Baby

Bullet had recovered well from being neutered. For the first 24 hours, we had to limit his food to 1/4th of what we were used to feeding him. After that we started feeding him like normal and he was eating fine. On Monday, we noticed that he did not eat one bite and then he threw up that night. On Tuesday, he threw up about 4:00 that morning and only ate maybe 1/2 cup at the max (I would not even think it was that much). Therefore you really can't say he ate that day. Wednesday, yet again he did not eat. At this point, we found it to be a problem and something was just not normal with him. We called the vet and took him in. The kept him overnight on Wednesday and told us to call back on Thursday morning. Thursday morning, they told us that he still had not ate but other than not eating, he was fine to check back that afternoon. When we called back, they wanted to keep him another night. What? I mean seriously, it about killed me to leave him 1 night much less the second night. He still had not ate at this point and he had thrown up 2 or 3 more times. I could not stand the fact of not getting to see him so I made Trent take me to see him. Trent pretty much laughed at me and told me that they would laugh at me for showing up wanting to see him. Nope he was wrong, I told them I wanted to see him and they put us in a room with him and told us to spend all the time we wanted with him and to just let them know when we were ready for them to take him back.


Trenty took a picture of me and the baby while we were there. I miss him so so much. He misses us too, his tail went crazy when he saw us and he did not want to go back with them until me and Trent walked into another room where he could not see us (just like a little child). I hope he is better and actully gets to come home tomorrow. The only thing that sucks is even if he does come home tomorrow, me and Trent both have to work, which kinda makes me worry since he is obviously sick and will be just getting home but I will get to spend all weekend till next Wednesday with the baby. Overall, this makes the 4th day that he has not ate and he has now lost 5 pounds in 1 week since his surgery. He was 69 pounds last Tuesday and as of yesterday, he weighed 64 pounds. They said him being sick is a combination of his nerves from his surgery and also a stomach virus. They said they have seen a lot of virus in dogs with in the past month. I hope he is recovering ok so I can see the baby tomorrow.

Just something on a funny prove daddy wrong note. Trent has always said Bullet is too big of a scaredy cat and will never protect us. Well, Bullet slept all night with mommy Tuesday night till daddy got home. He never had becuase Trent has always thought he would get up and mess around. Well I played it brave and left the door open and everything where he would have free range of the house. He was so good and slept with me all night long. When Trent came home around 6:00am Bullet jumped up quickly ran through the hall barking and growling like crazy and was all hunkered down in attack mode (Trent said he could just see it in Bullets eyes) until he saw that it was Trent. So I think he would be very protective if he was out of his cage of a night. I don't think he would go as far as attacking someone (who knows) but his bark and growl is definately enough to scare someone away if they don't know him.

I reckon that all for now but I will update everyone on him tomorrow. We are supposed to call back around 10 in the morning so hopefully we will get some good news then. Who knows how much this will hurt our pocket but as long as he is better, that all that matters.

Sigh of Relief

Well we found out today, that as of now we are covered under warranty on our unit. Everything is good to go. Now we are just waiting for our parts to come in for everything to be totally fixed. Thank God we are covered under warranty and will hopefully only have to pay for labor. We do know that there is one part that cost like $38 dollars I think and that is not covered but the rest should be covered no problem. This is such a sigh of relief for us knowing that Christmas season has just come and gone (everyone knows how expensive that can get), we have my test coming up in March which has to be paid for by February, and a few other things that have to be paid for therefore being covered by warranty is huge.

Speaking of my test, yet again, I need Huge Huge prayers. Hopefully 3rd time truly is a charm. Lets hope so at least.

So the other night, me and Trent went with his parents to see Marley and me. That movie is the best. I loved it. However, they should warn you that it will be sad. I thought it was going to be a cute, funny movie and I came out of the thing bawling like a baby. Obviously the movie is about a lab and Bullet is a lab. Me and Trent could not help but to laugh about pretty much everything in the movie because the movie truly shows such a typical lab. We have basically experienced pretty much everything with Bullet. Bullet has not chewed our furniture but I think that is about the only thing he hasn't done. Bullet has chewed the wall, chewed almost anything around, tries to get in the shower with me when I am in there, hyper, spastic, jumps all over ya, and the funniest of all is we gave Bullet his little pep talk about getting nuetered just like the movie. We just couldn't help but crack up. It is so funny how I used to not be an animal lover but that movie made me come home and love love love on my Bully. I just love my little Bully so much. He is doing great from his surgery. He seems to have fully re cooperated but he is still very calm. Is he gonna stay this way? It can't be so. lol. I just never ever figured he would stay this calm. It has been a week today and me and Trent are figuring if he were gonna hype back up, he would have already done it. Who knows, I guess we will see.

I guess that is all for now but figured I would let everyone know about the unit update.

Our Happy Little Family and Happy Birthday Babe!

We went out to eat tonight for Trent birthday at the Olive Garden with his mom and dad and sister. The meal was excellent and oh so fullfilling. We had plans to go to the movies but decided to just wait until either tomorrow (depends if 4 wheeling gets rained out) or Sunday. We are gonna go watch Marley and Me. His birthday is not till Thursday but I have to work so we celebrated early. SO HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY BABE!!! I had already gotten and given to him the BluRay player and the Punisher movie to go with it and I surprised him tonight with a picture of a Red Sox hat that is in the mail and on the way here to him and also another movie which he did not much care for so he is returning it for another one. Anywho, he had a good one atleast.

Here we are at Olive Garden filling our bellies way too full. It was oh so good.

Here are some more pictures we took after getting home.

Here is our One Big Happy Family. I thought this picture was way too Priceless not to post for everyone. It ws an act of congress to get Bullet to sit still and a few pictures later this is what we got. I dont know why, but I love love this picture.

Last but not least, look at my big ol baby god love him. You can see his bruising where he got fixed. However not all of that is bruising we think some of it may be some dried blood. We can not touch down there to check a whole lot. I think it is still pretty sensitive to him. He has licked a little but not too bad. He is definately getting back to him normal self.

That is all for now but I really wanted to show off our Happy little family and figured I might as well post on Trent birthday dinner while I was at it.
