7 or 8 Things

bathroom selfie #whynot

1. We're going camping this weekend and standard protocol dictates that I be anxious all week. ALSO!!!!!! Aunt Fucking Flow is scheduled to make an appearance as well. She's a bloody cunt.

2. Tuesday night we finally finished cleaning our carpets from Fecal Festival 2015 starring Frederick Biggie Franklin with diarrhea on the backup mic. He decided that he not only defecate in the living room in four different spots but also in the spare room and the hallway. It was liquid tar that stained our souls, oh, and the cheap apartment carpet we have. We were able to borrow my moms carpet cleaner and get most of it out. That was a process in and of itself but way easier than any carpet cleaning experience I've had in the past. He was finally allowed out of the bathroom yesterday and no incidents occurred. This dog just cannot eat any human food.

3.  I'm tired. WHAT'S NEW??!!

4. I had the best idea the other day and it occurred to me while I was thinking about camping. We don't have a truck or all-terrain vehicle,just two cars. They are great cars but they can't go where we go camping. I was thinking, wouldn't it be great if they  had transformer cars that could turn into mini monster-style trucks. For instance, my car is a hatchback and would be perfect for it, so when I was ready to go off-road it would rise up and big tires would come out from under it. You could switch back-and-forth whenever you needed it to. Tyrone immediately laughed and began explaining to me in his engineer (nerdy) way how that would never work. Even after his explanation I still don't see why it wouldn't work and WHY has it not been invented yet?

5. I'm ready for a real vacation. I've been listening to Major Lazer for the last few hours on soundcloud and it's making me want to get away.

6. Sometimes he's sweet and holds on to me.

7. Me and this guy. He's so sweet when he's getting his way (just like his dad). I'm wearing a "heart" made by his brother.

8. I scratched my car AGAIN!! I ran over a curb and got it pretty badly. MY BRAIN IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING PROPERLY! This one will not be able to be waxed away.

The hatred for me is growing.

Wow. I haven't done one of these in a long time. I thought it was fitting since this week has been about him in our house. 

Thursday he was scheduled to be neutered and have his teeth cleaned. I know, it's a standard procedure but I was a nervous wreck all week. He hasn't been put under anesthesia since he got hit by the car a few years ago. I had to take him in to the vet around 7am. They didn't start his surgery until around 6pm. I had to be at work all day wondering what the hell was going on. But, once I finally got an update from them they told me they held off all day so that they could give him all of their attention. That made me feel better even if it was total crap. Once they had made the chop to the balls the docter called me while he was still under to give me a status. That was when she told me that when they started cleaning his teeth his mouth smelled like sewage. Her exact words. She said he had an extreme case of periodontic sacks and gingivitis. She said dogs start out with 40 teeth and that Fred had lost 15 already and that he needed 9 of them pulled. She also said this was very common for flat nosed breeds and that she deals with this on a daily basis. I gave consent for them to go ahead and pull them. As much of a shock it was to hear that I knew waiting would only make it worse. I didn't hear back from them until 9:45pm. Right before they finally called back was when I started to freak the fuck out. I thought because it was taking so long that had to mean something was wrong. I'm glad I was wrong. He ended up doing great but they wanted to keep him overnight for observation. It's always strange spending time away from him because when I'm home he is always by my side no matter what. 

Right now he's by my side sleeping recovering nicely. I picked him up this morning certain that he would hate me for leaving him at that place all day. He jumped right up to me when they brought him out and licked my entire face almost right off. He acted like nothing happened. He has his moments where he looks very groggy but then he'll get up and want to play fetch. I'm supposed to keep him calm for 10 days. Ha!  That should be interesting.

He seriously never leaves my side. I can't even pee without him wanting to be on my lap. We've got some serious separation anxiety going on over here. 

Fred - half way through his life

Today Fred is 7 years old. I can't imagine my life without him and I can say that Tyrone feels the same too. 

My sweet boy

That face.

Puppy Tats {Fridays with Fred}

You know that lightening bolt stamp I made for the shorts I DIY'd? It was put to good use. We had a little fun with Fred one night.

Puppy tats. Perfect.

I think the black pattern of his fur on his back looks like a heart sometimes.

Especially when I literally draw one on the back of it eh?

It's November, yowzers.

He loves laying on a pillow. It's one of his human-like qualities that are so funny.

Someone's been hounding me to post something about him since it's been a very long time since I did.

This face kills me but he won't be pouting for long once we move back to American Fork and in with my parents. If you missed that announcement you can watch the video here. He'll be able to play with Bo-bo all day and get to run around in their yard anytime instead of being cooped up in an apartment all day. He'll be all smiles in no time. And yes he DOES smile.

Fridays with Frederick {in his words}

 Spring is my favorite time of year and here is a list of reasons why I love it.

*Warmer weather = longer potty breaks

*Hikes

*BIRDS! EVERYWHERE!! I even get to chase them sometimes

*There are ducks all over the complex, they sit outside of our window and taunt me

*Soon there will be lots of baby ducks running around for me to hunt down (but some people think it's not cool for me to try and eat)

*Dog park

*Car rides (but only until it gets too hot)

You see I'm really looking forward to this Spring since the two humans have been in a funk lately I've had to feed myself out of the garbage can and with the leftovers sitting out on the coffee table from the previous night's late night depression binges. I'm going to end up eating the both of them in their sleep if they don't snap the fuck out of it.

-yours truly, Frederick

It's like this constantly in our lives. He always has to be the dominator.

It's Mr. Frederick Biggie Franklin's birthday today and he has not let me forget it all day

Fridays with Frederick

We took him back to the park after his little incident with losing his nail. I think it traumatized us much more than it did him because clearly from the pictures you can tell he had no problem jumping back on the horse.

 Gosh I love him

 and him too

"Someone" barked empty threats of ripping every pillow in the house to shreds if I didn't post these pictures of him. There was something about a need to get sympathy from others due to the fact that he doesn't get enough of that at home and then I tuned out and forgot to let him back in the house after letting him out to go crap on the other apartment complex's lawn. I think it was the next morning we heard him scratching at the door with a dead duck in his mouth. OK none of that was true, but he did rip his extra toenail right off while running in the park the other day. Let me repeat that, he ripped his toenail off from running in the park. He ran in the park and some how ripped his toenail off. He came running back to us with a grin from ear to ear and blood dripping down his leg. He didn't even notice what happened, thankfully, but it wouldn't stop bleeding for quite awhile. I was nervous because I've heard horror stories about dogs ripping those extra dangling toe things off and bleeding to death. I'm glad it was just the nail but man that nail was all of the way gone. He's got a nice little hole that we have been privileged to nervously watch over like first time parents. That bandage lasted roughly 6 hours till he got sick of it and chewed it off. He's too active to have something like happen. If he would just sit still and look pretty like a nice little pomeranian then I wouldn't have to worry about getting blood all over the house.

if my dad sees this post he' s going to laugh at it
he thinks dogs should all be like rough-and-tough cow dogs
