When I took my course last winter, I never really thought I'd use much of what I learned after I finished the course. And now I have and I'm not sure if I'm regretting taking it for two reasons. Its pulling at my heart strings.

My brother got a dog back in November, either before or after his birthday, I can't really remember. Anyways, he got this dog from friends of his and she was 6 months old. These friends of his told him she was vaccinated and was up to date with all her shots and he didn't need to worry about it, at all.

Now he's phoned me to ask me questions about her over the last six months, which I've been fine about and it kinda has made me feel important and appreciated for some reason. And I'd give him the best advice as I could. A month ago, he asked me if his dog could be pregnant (She hadn't been spayed), I thought she could be, but I told him to take her to the vet, he said he'd see.

And then, Wednesday night as I'm leaving to go out with Stephanie and Sara, he phones me to ask why the dog wouldn't eat. I asked him a few questions and asked if there was anything else, he said yea, she was vomitting. Well, dogs can vomit over a million reasons. I told him he'd have to take her to the vet, even if he didn't want to, cause there's so many things that could go wrong or be wrong. Luckily the vet was still in town and Matt and our mom took the dog to the vet quick. Apparently she had a high fever.

They took her to The Pas yesterday and took some tests, etc. The vet ruled out that she has Parvo and generally there's only 50/50 chance survival rate. The chances for Joey, wasn't so great, although I was hoping she'd pull through since the vet seemed some what postive about the whole thing, so I was kind of keeping my hopes up.

For those of you who don't have pets and are planning on having a pet, please, please, please let this be a lesson and vaccinate your dog. Get all the vaccinations so they don't get a disease like Parvo or any other deadly disease out there.

Home from camping. Home from the States. I had a blast this past week and I wish my week of holidays didn't have to end! :(

Chris, Elissa and I are planning on working on the scrapbook for camping starting in the winter as a "winter" project. I suggested we get together about once a week. It just doesn't work quite like that with our schedules almost rarely matching up and stuff. But I think we'll be giving it a try :D Yay. I love 'em two soo much!

I didn't buy much for myself in the States. A new belly button ring, and food, that was it. Otherwise I bought some of my Christmas presents, which I'm about a quarter done getting. :D Yay. I'm thinking I may send out Christmas cards again this year. I'm thinking early this year, this a good thing considering I'm a huge ass procrastinator. HAHA.

My washing machine broke on me last night :( I have a pile of dirty clothes sitting in front of it, waiting for it to get fixed. I'm hoping Bill will come over after he's done at his parent's place and look at it. I'm not sure how much he could do because it'll be like after 9 tonight and stores will be closed. *shrugs* I don't know what I'm gonna do with that guy.

I want clothes from Warehouse One, badly. I was browsing in the store today while I was passing time for catching the bus and there's a BUNCH of clothes I liked and I want it... Grr...But not buying clothes until I'm finished losing my 20 pounds that I have as a goal for myself. I'm really hoping, I haven't gone very far though, since I've just sort of started. But 5 days a week going to the gym for cardio, I should lose it in no time!!!!

I think this is the longest I've written in a long time... woo.

For the most part, I am a friendly person. For the most part, I enjoy meeting new people online and offline. For the most part, I'm always in the mood to talk to someone...

For the most part, this journal is Friend's Only because I say it is and if you want to get to know me, comment, add and read on... if your added back.

What's the worst thing that could happen? I could not add you back. My only condition is that you comment once in awhile!! :)

Good luck.
