Thanksgiving
Wednesday night we went to see Nicole Atkins in Asbury Park with Cheryl and her boyfriend. That was fun. She sang a bunch of new songs. Music was too loud though. Need to remember to buy earplugs next time.
Thanksgiving was nice. Ate too much yummy stuff at the future in-law’s :D I made up for it by cleaning the entire apartment on Friday and then exercising on top of that. Didn’t gain any weight, yip!
My grandma once told me that she weighed 99 pounds when she got married. At the time I was overweight and thought I would never be even close. I’m only five pounds more. I strength train. I somehow doubt my grandma used to lift weights … My dad found her wedding album a couple weeks ago. Found out she got married in January too. The bridesmaid dresses looked so pretty in black in white, but then we found a photo that was colored in and saw that they were the ugliest shade of green, lol. I’ve never been a fan of green.
Princess was feeling a little better this week. She gobbles down soup like there’s no tomorrow, but she still won’t touch dog food. It’s also pretty obvious that she’s in pain, but that could just be from her arthritis. She can still jump up on the bed and the couch though.
My parents are going to get a sedative and take her back to the vet on Thursday. She might need surgery, but we don’t think that’s such a good idea. She was really miserable after she had all of her fatty tumors removed and that was a few years ago. We don’t want to put her through that again. We really just want them to do whatever they can to make her comfortable. I feel lucky that Princess has been with us as long as she has because labs in general don’t live that long. She wags her tail when we come home, she begs for pizza crust, she still enjoys dog treats, but she’s not happy like she used to be. She seems frustrated that she can’t jump and sit like she used to. Even peeing’s a chore. It must be hard getting old :( I hope the vet can make her feel better.
My parents went to a Jazz concert Saturday, so I came over to dogsit. Since I had gone for my hair and makeup trial in the morning, I had the amazing idea to invite everyone over for smores :D A bunch of peoples came and there was much marshmallow and chocolate eating. I think Princess enjoyed the company. She certainly enjoyed the little bit of chocolate I dripped on the floor.
RSVPs are due today and we’re still missing more than half. There’s quite a few people I know are coming/aren’t coming though. If all of the rest of our list respond yes, then we’ll make our minimum! The odds are not in our favor though… I’m hoping we’ll at least get 125. We’re at 84 right now.
I hope for the best for Princess, whatever that is. She’s in a similar place to our Shelly a few years ago and I know how tough that is for everyone, including Princess.
Princess eats soup? I won’t give my dog any human food at all. I know what you mean about Princess though. How old is she? It does suck seeing our pets get old. =( I think you’ve had Princess longer than I’ve had my dog.
Yeah, sorry to hear about your wedding! =( Wished I could make it, but don’t think so. Need to save up money agaain, and I don’t think I’d have anyone to go with, since my sister goes back that same weekend… So that sucks. :(
