This is new….

Sometimes one just needs to try a new position.

Image

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a black paw sticking out of the crate and upside down too!

Image

Image

Image

I figured she wanted a belly rub and she did.  I was in an uncomfortable position so I did a really short one (those of you who know Renelle, this was completely unacceptable.

Image

Nope, not acceptable at all…..”That’s it!!!”

Yes Renelle, that is it. I couldn’t possibly give you a 45 minute belly rub while you are in your crate.

Peace! C & R

Finacial difficulties.

Sigh.  Renelle and I need a job!  When I talk Job, I mean Career.  While it has been nice being at home and being a “home maker”, it is beyond time to get back into the work force.  In one word, we are bored. 

With that, our fiances are making it imperative that we do get back to work!  Especially with all of Renelle’s medical bills.  Although CCI has been an incredible help with the Trixie Fund, other are in need of the fund as well, plus it takes time to get the reimbursement sent to us. I am blessed that Renelle’s liver is stable, the recent ear infection did not help.  I am grateful that the infection is gone, however we do need to determine what allergies she has so we can keep the ear infections under control.

I am working with Work Ability III through the Department of Rehabilitation on resumes, cover letters, interview coaching etc.  Which has been more helpful that America at Work (that is a whole other story!). 

While I am sending out resumes and applications (along with having to help Jay apply on line to stuff – UGH), I have not gotten any interviews.  2 1/2 years and nothing, which doesn’t do anything for one’s self esteem!  However I am trying to be optimistic, I admit it is hard.

On the plus side we have Food Stamps and health care (thanks to the Health Care Reform Act!).  It would be nice not to have to rely on the Government to pay for our food and medicine.  I am grateful for it though!

Peace! C & R

Renelle’s Ear Days 2

Good news on Renelle’s ear front! No trace of infection!!!!!!

However, her ears are still swollen, so we are adding an anti-inflammatory medication for the next three weeks before seeing Dr. Nagle again. Back to cleaning her ears twice a week with Epi-optic Advance and anti-inflammatory to help with the swelling. Her ear canal is not smooth and he wants to make sure she doesn’t get this again, so we need to get that swelling down!

Whew!  After 5 months of this it is nice to get this under control.

Peace! C & R
