I have never written anything noting Fathers Day until now. Why now? Because the best Father I have ever known is not here this year. For the first time he won't be here for the kids to call him and wish him Happy Fathers Day;.
How do I know he's the best Father? I was married to him for eight years. When we divorced I gave him full custody of my children. My babies.. Knowing full well that he would raise two wonderful children and they would adore him. I knew that they would never need anything and that they would have such a wonderful example of how adults should be.
And guess what. He did. He took them places and doing things I would have never done. I'm so sad that he's gone. He and I were ok. I admired him so very much and respected him. Just because we couldn't live together, didn't me the mutual love and respect wasn't there.
His death was so sudden and so hard on all of us. I still cry. I have these "spells" where I'm just going along and......cry. The sorrow is overwhelming. The man I married is not supposed to be dead. He helped me move the last two times I did, we spent holiday's together at Zoots, and the best was last Christmas. All of us were there together, for the first time in a long time, enjoying the holiday as a complete family. It was wonderful. We were so lucky to have had that time together.
So my Fathers Day tribute is for the best dad ever and to thank him for being the man I knew he was. I loved you.

Slow Sunday...
I know, I've not posted in forever. I've been Tweeting and Facebooking. Just not posting. There really hasn't much been going on except
- I developed a severe reaction to something that I haven't figure out what yet.
- This was a rash from absolute hell. I went to clinic and got shot and steroids
- I thought they were supposed to make you feel good, full of energy and cure the rash. Well, the rash is gone and I feel like crap
- The skin on my hands is now peeling off. How terribly attractive is that>>>urg...
- Maxi isn't doing so well. I don't know if today is just a bad day or if he is going down hill. He and I cuddled under the coffee table earlier this afternoon ..I will so miss him.
- Rosco seems to understand that when I'm luvin' Maxi, he needs to back off, and he does.
- I'm slowly cleaning up the house (since I haven't in 2 weeks). Thanks Rosco.
- Yeah. I just heard the darned Cubs won...whoopie
- Now, all I have to do is figure out which one of my doggies peed on the floor. Grrrr. and no, its not guaranteed its Rosco. Maxi is having some issues.
Time to go grill the ribs and.........this sure wasn't a bullet post but they look cool.
On a good day, his name is Rosco
06/04/2009
Just the three of us
I took Rosco to the Vet today. He's healthy and no one can believe that he was a shelter dog. Vet says if he's not a full bred dachsund he's 99%.
Right now the dogs are having a stare down for my lap. On my lap is this computer. I'm afraid to move it..there could be a killin'
Of course I was braggin on him being so good as far as potty goes. Came home and about an hour late......found his poop in my bedroom.
Lets just say he knew he shouldn't have done that!!!
I think Maxi likes him...or is he just being tolerant. Can't tell with him but he has figured when he wants to growl and it usually works.
As far a Maxi....He goes to the bathroom (poops) a lot. I leave the storm door to the back yard open enough so he can get to the yard when he has to go. There are sometims when he just goes and I think its as big a surprise to him as it is to me. He's been totally perfects since he was 6 mos old. He hasn't had an accident in years. 2 in the last few days. I don't know how long that can keep up. He still eats well and he even took a pain pill tonight. I asked the vet for better tasting ones, but the one's he had he knew was hidden in anything I hid them in. This one he just ate it.
Rosco did not do the same for his cough meds. I tried putting it down his throat and hold his mouth shut. I heard the pill hit something and haven't seen it since.
I have a dreadful rash. Just awful. Can't take time off from work this week so I may go to the walkin in clinic Sat am after I take Rosco to the groomers. Oh yeah, must mow the lawn Sat early too. Anyone have any ideas for this damned rash? Hydrocortizone cream isn't doing so hot. Its on both hands. and the entire left side of my upper body. Why one side. Its been years since I've had this thing and the dr used to give me some steroids in a kind of pack which did its job Also kept me up all night and I swelled (?) up so much and ate everything that wasn't nailed down. Like to find something that would work without the appetite and swelling.
Ok, I'm so rambling here. Just to keep you informed etc. I'm pretty sure I'll get more pictures of him soon and of course I have a million of Maxi.
