Peeping Tom

Sorry this has taken me a couple days to post.
The other night, my sister in law was laying on the couch, watching her tummy move cause she is pregnant.  She pulled her shirt up to see her bare belly. Well my husband and I had literally just got in the shower, and my mother in law came banging on the door.  She was screaming "A man was just looking in at your sister!"  We ran out and my Husband was out the door so fast.  The man was standing on our porch looking in at her, smoking a sigerete. My other sister in law came walking up the stairs and saw him looking in. And my sister in law who is pregnant could smell the sigerete ten minuets before they saw him.  SO who knows how long he was there.  All the neighbors were out running trying to catch him.  We called the cops.  My mother in law looked out her window to see if she could see him, and he was hiding behind our back fence.  She yelled for everyone to go look over there, and before my hubby could get to the back he took off running. The cops said that they had another call about this happening erlier this week.  They did a sweep of the area and could not find him.  After the cops had left, he came BACK!
This time he ran across our porch.  We all ran out and we could not find him.
Tell me how sick are you to want to get off and smoke while watching a pregnant women.
THE SCARIEST NIGHT EVER!

Allergies at the Lake

So the family has been coughing and sneezing, and throwing up lately. And my sister in law took her kids to the E.R. today to see what was wrong with them.
They found out that us living here in all the pine trees is giving everyone Allergies.  The Poline is so bad here its not funny.
We are constantly wiping yellow dust off of everything close to a window or outside.
All the kids have to take Allergy medicine.  I took this pic of Ian after he was given his meds. He is laying with out puppy Tinkerbell.  He looks like crap but he says he feels alright.
So we have to bare with this nasty crap until winter and then hopefully we will not have it as bad as next year.

Saying Goodbye

So my Husband has had a dog since she was a puppy. Her name was Bo.  She was going on 11 years old this year.  Any ways after moving from Reno to Tahoe, we discovered this small growth on her tummy.  We thought it was a spider bite, but when it started to grow larger we decided she needed to see a vet.
So once we took her to the vet, they did a biopsy on it and found nothing but infection.  We were calmed a little by this because most infections can be cured with antibiotics.  They also gave her a pain killer because she was wining a lot.
She was on these meds for months, and this thing just kept growing.  It got to the point that it looked like a soft ball.  Now Bo was constantly trying to bite it.  She broke it open one day and was bleeding all over our house.  We called the vet and she said to just keep her on the meds it would take some time to get rid of this because of how intense the infection was.
Well about a week ago she went completely blind. And it was almost over night this happened.  She was given a cone to ware to keep from the biting but that never seemed to stop her.  She would eat and drink like crazy but kept loosing weight fast.  She would drink until you made her stop.
So we called a new vet today to get her in, and she told us as soon as she saw her that is was Caner.  And it was very bad.  Since it was my Husbands dog, he made the decision to put her down because she has been suffering in pain for the past 5 months, thank to the vet who wouldn't take the time to find out the truth.  This place was money hungry.
So this morning we took Bo in.  We weren't there very long.  They took us into a small room, which had blankets on the floor to lay her on.  They hooked an IV up to her and gave her a sedative to make her sleepy, and to lay down.  Shortly after they gave her the meds that was going to take all the pain away.
My Husband and I were crying.  Although he was really bad.  He had to say goodbye to the one best friend that was always there no matter what.  I had to say goodbye to a friend I have known for the past 6 years.  And it wasn't easy.
Bo is in heaven know with our other 3 dogs of the family. Jumbo, Shampain, Piper.  Family.
So this has been an extremely long and painful day.
We miss you baby girl!
