Mellie Dee ♥

I cannot get over this. Mother nature did so well this time around. Pretty frozen icicled trees.

This is an old picture … but I got to see this little lady and it made my week. It’s been almost a year since we saw each other. It sucks how growing up tears us apart but when we get to spend time together, I treasure it so much more.

P.S. I miss my tan. I’m the definition of Asian. Straight yellow.

Mallory and I signed our puppies for training class. Since Lacy is now 30+ lbs (?) and Rizzo is only 4.8 lbs, we wanted to make sure they still play well together. And they did … Best friends. It was also a great time for me to catch up with Mallory and John. Even got to meet one of Mallory’s family members, Tim. It was a good night.

Work has been a whirlwind. Stress x100. Luckily I have coworkers that make it a little more bearable. Kitty drawn by a coworker gave me a good laugh with the story he told while doing so.

I love no matter how loud I belt out ballads and such, Rizzo still sleeps soundly and doesn’t run away from me. This is him with a glass of wine because he’s an alcoholic. (just kidding)

My life revolves around Rizzo now. I snap and insta him all the time. I’m sure my friends are annoyed. OH WELL.

Tomorrow I get to see some lovelies that are visiting me from San Antonio. Life will be made. Until then, Stay Positive and Think Good Thoughts.

Today was one of the toughest days I’ve encounter. Other than having something due for work and having 4 meetings, I had to get ready for a meeting I’ll be somewhat leading tomorrow. It’s still not done. Good thing it’s in the afternoon.

The other thing was taking Rizzo to the doctor. It was time for his next batch of shots as a puppy. I told the doctor my concerns with the small missing fur around his eyes and on top of his head. They did a skin scrape test and …

He has Demodex Mites. Apparently all dogs have them under their skin but for dogs under 2 years old, they tend to get inflamed due to their growing immune systems. The doctor said he’s stressed out … from eating, pooping and sleeping?

They tend to outgrow them so fingers crossed. Luckily it’s not contagious to humans or other dogs. But we’ll have to be careful nonetheless.

It was a scary experience. It was as if I had an 8 month old kid finding out something was wrong. Then the lady came out with 5 different medications that I would have to feed and clean him with. *sigh* Hoping for a quick recovery.
