Here is the video of Atley playing that I wanted to post last time.  Thankfully Bryan found a fix for my little problem.  Thanks B – he is good!  😉

Sunday:

Sunday isn’t much to speak of.  I did go out to lunch with Jason and then to the mall to help him pick out some jeans.  We went to a few other stores also.  Then it was back home to chill with the animal crew.  I worked on a little of this and that, but mostly did…nothing.  I was missing Bryan so bad that I was just lethargic.  It was a tough week without him.  Not only did I miss him, but with everything that was going on here with Atley, I just felt like I was single.  I’m not used to not having him around to help out with things.  It definitely made me realize how much I need and depend on him; he does a lot to help me out everyday.

Monday:

I didn’t work so that I could try to work out some vet stuff with Atley as well as make sure I could pick up Bryan from the airport that afternoon.

When we looked at Atley the first time as well as the day I brought him home, the shelter both pointed out his leg (he limps) and assured us that it was old, healed, and perfectly fine.  We don’t believe this to be the case.  When Elizabeth was here on Friday, she felt of his leg and pointed out that there was some swelling, and we should definitely have it looked into.  Ugh!  What else with this poor pup can go wrong?  She referred us to a place with I called, but unfortunately they couldn’t see him until Wednesday.  We are trying to keep him from using it too much until we figure out the extent of the damage and know what he’s capable of.

I picked up Bryan a little before 5 PM.  I can’t even tell you how happy it made me to have him home.  We ate dinner before coming home.  I know he was glad to finally have some interaction with the dog, be home, and love on all of the kitties.  The rest of the night was just us hanging out at the house.  It was nice to not have to sleep alone.

Tuesday (today):

I couldn’t manage to pick up a job today which sucked!  So, I just stayed home and tried to find things to do.  I spent a majority of the afternoon sewing Bryan’s patches on his new gi.  I’m slow because I suck at it.  :)  Oh well, I try.  I still have a couple more left to go.

I also called multiple times to the vet that made the call that Atley’s leg was healed.  I’m trying to find out if they did any xrays and if so can we have them to take to the other vet tomorrow.  I found out nothing, but I did get the opportunity to talk to the less that nice receptionist that answered.  What a bitch!

Tonight I’m going to TKD because I test on Saturday.  I liked to do my form a few more times for the instructor before the big day.  Luckily, they moved the testing site.  Instead of driving to south Austin we only have to go to Lifetime Fitness on 620!  My testing is at 11:30 AM so I should still be able to make it to afternoon classes at the Kung Fu school.  Yay!  I’m looking forward to getting started on my blue belt material.

The Kung Fu school is closed tonight due to the nasty weather.  So instead of going to his classes, Bryan ran out to H&R Block to do his taxes.  I know – he’s so on top of this business.  ;)  I’m still waiting for a couple of things to come in so that I can get mine out of the way also.  Bryan is cooking tonight so I’m looking forward to a yummy meal after working out.

Bundle up – it’s really cold out there!
