Wordless Wednesday

A Sad Day

Last Thursday on my way home from my bowling league around 10:30 at night, I was driving down a back road and happened across a stray German Shepherd. He was pretty emaciated and had some bad mange. I ended up taking him home for the night and in the morning I planned on dropping him off at the humane society (that wouldn't kill him). As it turns out, the humane society doesn't take in stray animals, they only take owner surrendered pets. So luckily, my friend Bobby knows a girl who rescues dogs and also works at an animal hospital. I got word that she was willing to take him in, and I drove right over to drop him off. He stayed the weekend there, but after the vet ran some tests and x-rays it was determined that he was in really bad shape.

He was only about 2 years old, and had really bad hips. So bad that he would require a surgery that costs around $9,000 - $10,000. Not to mention that his ACL is torn, and the really bad mange that would require some intense medication. All of this coupled with the fact that he is only two makes it that much worse. Since he is so young, the pain he is in will only get worse as he gets older even with the surgery. In the end, the most humane thing to do is to put him to sleep.

For the condition he was in, he was still super sweet. He wasn't skittish at all, and well behaved. He didn't really like to be touched other than on his head because the mange was so bad which made it uncomfortable for him, but he loved the attention. He would've made the best pet.

So here is a shout out to the giant shepherd with a big heart.

You will be in good company with Larkin's mom, Vader, Syber Kitty, Dr. Binks, Mattaoe, Bayah and MJ.

Dear So and So... Part Deux

Dear Biological Father,
I appreciate all of your calls and emails from afar. However, seeing as how I haven't answered or responded in well over 6 months, I would think that you would have gotten the point by now. But worry not, we will be seeing each other soon. A lot sooner than you realize, and in a not so cozy setting.

Dear Pullo,
The big large bed that you like to sleep in belongs to me. This is my domain. I will share my bed with you so that I may cuddle up next to you anytime. Keep this in mind the next time you growl at me because I accidentally touched you or woke you up because your ass is getting kicked off the bed.
Grrrrrrrrrrr, Mommy

Dear Mother Nature,
I just wanted to say thank you for making this summer somewhat tolerable. The heat has been bearable for the most part and I think we have even had a few days where the humidity was actually less the 80%! Now, if you would just do something about these mosquitoes and sand gnats, I would be eternally grateful.

Sincerely, Mitzy

Dear Miley,
I know this may sound a bit selfish, but I would love it if you could hurry up filming your movie and leave now. I'd like to be able to go out to Tybee without the fear of being trampled on by a flock of tweens trying to hunt you down. I appreciate that you have encouraged tourism (and by tourism I mean your stalkers following you) which in turn will help the economy in Savannah. However, my friends and I are over due for a beach day.

Impatiently, Mitzy

Never Ending Summer

This weekend I will once again be driving my happy butt up to Atlanta for some lake action and another concert. And I suppose I will be visiting family too.

Guess who I am going to see this weekend.

I will give you just a minute....

Yes, that's right. Tool!

Dear So and So....

I am going to give this a shot...

Dear Orange Cat Named Henry,

I have a great appreciation for your ability to play fetch, and your desire to do it all. the. time. However, when I am laying in bed at 2 a.m., I really don't feel like throwing the catnip mouse down the hall for you. No matter how loud you meow at me or how many times you drop the mouse by my face, it's not happening.

Awake & Grumpy,

Mitzy

Dear Pullo (my spoiled rotten human like dog),

I wish you a very happy birthday. You are now 3 years old! It's amazing how it feels like it was just yesterday that I picked you up and took you home for the first time. You were the greatest and fluffiest puppy ever. So in celebration, I picked up a 6 pack just for you.

Love you,

Your Mom

Dear Starbucks at the Savannah Mall,

Please hire more people. I don't think it is acceptable for me to have to wait an eternity for a shaken tea lemonade thing. Seriously, I think I almost died from dehydration just waiting on my icy cold beverage.

Thirsty,

Mitzy

Dear Mosquitoes,

One day I am going to find a way to rid the world of you all. I have had it. I am not the only human around that tastes good. I don't appreciate being picked out of a group of people and being attacked. I know you may find this hard to believe, but big red welts aren't attractive. Leave me and my blood alone.

Itching like crazy,

Mitzy

Dear Kat,

Thanks for getting me hooked on your blog, and I have finally accomplished my own Dear So and So!

You Rock,

Mitzy

A Quarter Of A Century Has Come And Gone

It is amazing how time flies right past us, isn't it?

I realize that 25 isn't exactly "old", but I most definitely feel like I am becoming old. It seems like it was just a few months ago and I was graduating high school, determined to dominate the world. But alas, here I am. Still a pawn in this game called life.

In other news, I will be hanging out in the 7th row of the 311 concert this 4th of July in Atlanta!

I. Can't. Freaking. Wait!

Everyone, have a safe and happy 4th of July!

Smells Like Teen Spirit

This is a recap of our fun filled weekend that began Friday night after work. This post will have to be broken down into multiple posts to encompass all the photos and video that were taken this night.

To start off, we have a clip of an attorney singing Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana.

The night continued with some more drinks and more karaoke.

More to come...
