Look What I Got:



My awesome friend, Heather, gave me this award today!!! It's awesome. I don't know how fabulous I've been at blogging lately, though. :)

I'm supposed to tag five other fabulous blogs.... but I'm just going to say that if your blog appears on my list on the right - I think your blog is fabulous!! So you are ALL getting this award for fabulousness. :) Please pass it on to other fabulous people that you know!!

Now... I'm also supposed to list 5 things that I am addicted to:

1. Going to the movies - we LOVE going to the movies...especially between 4-6pm on weekends when the price is only $4.25.

2. Popcorn - we love it, and we eat it A LOT.

3. The Internet - I just love reading blogs, logging into Facebook, and looking things up on Google!

4. Dave & Snickers - they are the best after a long day of work... just to sit on the couch and cuddle with them. :)

5. Milk Duds - see #1, if I'm at the movies - I'd really like to have a box of milk duds in my hand as well.

Matt Giraud - the person we - kind of, sort of - know!

AMERICAN IDOL - So, truth be told we have only seen Matt Giraud perform a couple of times, but one of them was at a Christmas Party, so it was a pretty small group, and we feel like we know him! Here is the group audition from Hollywood Week - you can't tell me that they didn't do awesome!!!!!! Enjoy, and start tuning in! :)

Superbowl Sunday

So - we had just a couple of peeps (Jess, Mark, & TJ) over for Superbowl Sunday. One friend, TJ, happens to be a big Steeler fan. He got pretty excited towards the end of the game..... I took a short video of him, and I think it's very entertaining - he is swirling around his "Terrible Towel"!! Enjoy!!! P.S. I know I need to decorate my mantel - any thoughts? Mirror? Picture? Candles? Any thoughts are welcomed.

Clips of The Week

Aren't they precious? I watched several interesting procedures this week. The first being 4-day old puppies that looked much like those on the left getting their tails docked and their dew-claws clipped off. They didn't like it too much... but, when their tails were stitched up and they were placed back in their warm box they were just fine. They were schnauzer/dachsund mixes, and neither of those breeds have long tails, so off they went.


I also watched an ear-cropping of a pit-bull. Ear-cropping is a pretty controversial surgery for veterinarians - in fact there are many that will NOT do this procedure. The AVMA (American Vet Med Association) kind of frowns on it. BUT - there are those breeds that are known for having their ears cropped.... Dobermans, Pit Bulls, Great Dane's, etc....

Which way would you rather have your Great Dane? :
Me personally... I like the ears - but, I suppose it is a matter of personal preference.
My final surgery on Friday was a spay on a 5-year old Labrador Retriever..... there is no reason to wait five years to have your Labrador spayed.... unless of course you are breeding her. But, this was not the case in this particular situation. When you wait five years there is so much more fat in that area that the procedure takes a bit longer than normal. So - get your pet spayed/neutered around 6months okay? Thanks! This has been your clips of the week. :)
