Nic and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Pet Month

[dreiser]

I'm a loser living with parents once again because I'm going back to school for writing and I've decided to buy a condo and thus want to save between $20-25 grand for a down payment. Anyway! Enough about my loser lifestyle and saving money obsession.

Recently my parents decided to rip apart our huge like... three story porch in order to just have an open backyard and do more fancy stuff. Before this they put in a small pond. So we've got this like massive skeleton porch with steps that lead nowhere and random planks and basically it looks like a weird ass surburban warzone.

Because of this I insisted everyone leash my pug, Vlad, before he goes out back because I was certain he'd go running and hurt himself. I think god hates me because of course it's with me that Vlad goes running through a small ass crack in the door before I can leash him and decides to run up one of the staircases to nowhere and fall eight feet onto concrete.

I immediately freak out and take him the Emergency Vet Clinic and have him looked at. He's fine, praise Jeebus, but I swear just the mere thought of losing another pet this month killed me. They gave me some doggie Vicodin just in case he appears to be in any pain and I have him being monitored by my mom while I'm at work. Everything is fine thus far and I'm thinking he's just one really fucking lucky dog.

Oh, the vet visit was particularly humorous as I brought him in there for possible hip injury and by the time the vet showed up he was jumping up on her and running all over the room we were in. What else? They mispelled his name as well.

He's apparently Blad Manders. Blad to the Bone or something. That's my puppy. Heh.

Vlad

Vlad? Please enlighten me about the name. By the way been there done that LOL, sometimes I think I take my dog to the Vet more than I go to the Doctor.

Vlad sounds like he is in super good hands, even with the fall. In my next life, 100 years from now, I want to come back as your pet. I bet it would be a nice life.

lol, do we live in a parallel universe somehow?
I had to move back in with my parents as well, my parents decided to have a bigger garden now and bought some next to our house, and I had to take my dog to the vet three times within 2 weeks. last time today because she was shaking her head constantly - at first rather amusing, but then I thought she might go insane, apparently some bug crept into her ear and she got bitten. poor bugger :)

His name is from the Dune book series. He's named after this hilarious and somewhat disgusting character Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. My brother suggested the name since he loves those books and I thought Vlad was just a cool sounding and different dog name.

My pets are hella spoiled so you'd be set up. lol. How are you doing though? I've been meaning to email or call you.

Vlad has already had two ear infections so I know all about the head shaking syndrome. They seem to be a chronic problem for some pugs unfortunately. If we live in parallel universes then I wonder which of us is the Bizarro version. Hmm.

You! lol. Sorry. I'm seeing Superman tonight and feeling very obsessed with the big blue wonder right now.

and you are probably right *g*
let me know how the gayest superman ever movie was.

my dog is getting older and so the trips to the vet more frequently... but the bug bite inside of your ear is really mean, I would shake my head as well. or bang it against the wall probably.

have fun tonight - I am actually heading to bed right now

I don't get that whole gay Superman thing. I mean, the only gay thing about him is the fact he wears tights. There's way more gay stuff in X-Men. I'm 100% sure the movie will kick ass because Bryan Singer is at the helm. Which will make me cry because this is who we could've had directing X3. :::sigh::: I both love and hate the man.
