Straight shot to the baby maker.....

Well after 4 of my own calls and several emails i got no where with comcast. The wife on the other hand makes one call.... one fricken call and all is back to normal. Nice..... Just to keep a little gravy in the bag i'm sticking to "I laid the ground work for that victory" Think she'll buy it? Damn you comcast damn you.

On the front with the foster dog Gracie things are great. We have cleared up her infection and she is throwing down on kibble with out having to soak it in soft food. Gracie is a cuddler. whether your sitting, standing, laying down, or smashing timmies she is right there snug as a bug in a rug at your feet or on your lap or curled up at your chest. she is doing great with the other dogs and cats. She no longer has an issue with food aggression. She does still struggle with alone time. What I mean is she does not like to sleep alone or be left by herself. She would be perfect for a multiple dog house. To increase her chances of success when i leave for the store or gigs she is crated away from the other dogs. She may bark for a few seconds but once she is told no a few times she quiets down. She has no patience to sleep in the open kennel at night. I have seen her tuck away in the Doggy tent we have but that tent is right next to the bed where she can see you are still in it. Heres a pic i took while writing this of her by my feet.

Oops forgot to mention that Gracie is available for adoption thru Belly Rubs Basset Hound Rescue @ www.bellyrubs.org

the calm before the storm

after receiving a cable bill of over 300.00 today. after calling in july to change some of our service "saving us some doe" and to account for the summer off season. there could be a seething blog to come following the 3rd call to comcast today. stay tuned i will fill yall in even if it's fixed.  update......... I will have to deal with this tuesday the man i need to speak with is out of the office.......to give a heads up to the problem the wife turned off the extra movie channels we had during the summer off season of some of the shows we watch which should have shaved about 40.00 a month from the bill. she then switched our phone service from one provider to these comcast crooks. which added 20.00 to our cable bill but saved us 30.00 a month so our cable bill should have been 20.00 cheapert than normal. we were told we were given a promotional rate for the phone and they would waive the install fee. they failed to waive the fee and then failed to tell us they would be charging us a pro rated fee higher than the promotional rate for a full months service for signing up for the service 10 days before the billing date. nor did they tell us that they would be billing us for 2 months and 10 days of the service in a single month. cable bill jumped from 160.00 month to 307.00. so i truely feel cheated and misled. to be fair the higher up that started to deal with this issue has left for the day so with the facts stated we will see were this goes.

Gracie Goes to the Vet

Gracie the Bagle. (Half basset hound half beagle) pictured with a headless deedle doo, Took a trip to the vet today. We have been having trouble getting this lovable snuggle pooch to eat and a lump showed up on her belly next to her spay incision. Having seen how dirty the wound and the dog were when we got her we were not going to take any chances on an infection. The news from the vet was a sad story but not a real health scare. Turns out that the lump that was growing on her belly was actually her mammary gland springing back to life from the nutrition she was now receiving (must be the dog snacks and vitamin tabs smothered in peanut butter thats all she has eaten). The doc said the scrapes all over her belly were actually marks from her pups feeding on her. Yep thats right some real douche bag let this pooch get pregnant then tossed her away after she had her litter of puppies. the doc thinks that her lack of eating is due to being separated from her young to early. she also has a little bit of an infection and gave us some antibiotics for it. we will start taking Gracie to adoption fairs when she is feeling better. She is already worming her way into my heart so i know she will make a great companion for a very lucky family. Half Right Face

New Foster Bagle Gracie

Hey Hey Hey......ahem......Well I have been super super busy. bathrooms look great. new tile baseboards and paint. We now have a new foster dog. she is available for adoption from belly rubs basset hound rescue here in knoxville. the group says that she is 2 however she is the most well behaved 2 year old we have ever met. she plays fetch like a champ releasing the toy with out even verbally asking. she is doing very well with the other dogs and cats. she is a tiny bit aggressive with food but not bad. i will work with her on this its more than likely from being in a shelter pen with another dog. she likes to snuggle for bed time right now i'm going to try and break her of this and get her to sleep in a open kennel. Gracie is really under weight and was spayed just before we got her. who does this.....this pup is in bad shape and on top of it they cut her open. the spay more than likely could have waited untill she was healthy. I promised some of the pork choppers i would post some pictures so with out further babbling Heeeeeerrrrrrrrreess GRRRRRACIE!!!!!!!!!!
