hazel went to her first puppy visit at the vet yesterday. she's got 2 parasites (more commonly referred to as worms). this is a pretty common occurrence for puppies. so, she's on 2 medicines that i give her at night. unfortunately this makes housebreaking a much more trying experience. she doesn't have control of her #2's and therefore the kitchen floor is being cleaned almost every 2 hours.
mr c and i are pretty tired. we've been getting up around the clock taking her outside to get her used to the concept. she gets treats for doing her business outside. when she's done she saunters on over the the stairs and hops right up to the front door, waits for us to open it, then hops right into the house.
the vet said that we need to give her baths to help keep her clean and fight the worms. so, i gave her a bath last night. she was terrified!! but she got lots of treats and praise. i think the next time will be better.
i really hope that this medicine does the trick and she can have a normal potty experience.

this is a picture of my beta, fuego. he's real spunky and i love having him as a part of my work environment.

house - room 2
not so affectionately called the "blue star room". note stars all over the ceiling...stuck up with none other than sticky tack (the stuff that teachers use to stick things on cinder block, remember?). we have to pay a painter to sand, retexture, and paint the ceiling before we can repaint the rest of the room. the colors have already been picked out.

house - room 1
currently this is serving as a changing room/clothing storage room. whenever it comes time for that, this would be a nursery.

sept 1st
i can't believe that it's september already.
in recent news: i'm pretty disappointed. they took down the for sale sign at our house sometime yesterday. for some reason i thought they left them up for a little while with a sold sign. maybe realty companies don't do that anymore. i really wanted to have a picture with mr c and i in front of the house by the sign. oh well...we'll just need to get a picture without it.
i also forgot to mention that i went with a coworker last week to get beta fishes for our desks at work. i found a really cute one, and named him Fuego. he's super fun to have, and it's quite nice to take a break and watch his antics during the day.
