Penn State (mild) rant warning

The more I hear about this Penn State scandal, the angrier I get. There was an article on Yahoo today that said a parent reported inappropriate activity in 1998 to the Penn State police…1998? And this perv was allowed to continue with his youth programs? Are you kidding me?

No one knows for sure how you would react in any given situation but I’ve got to tell you if this was my family I might have hurt the guy. Ok, who am I kidding, I would go all Jack Ruby on the guy.

That creepy mo-fo really needs to keep his mouth shut. I’m tired of hearing him; I’m tired of hearing about him; I’m tired of hearing about Penn State and I’m tired of being sick to my stomach thinking about this guy. Clearly he doesn’t think what he was doing was wrong…it really sounds like somewhere deep in his brain he doesn’t understand what he did was sick, inappropriate, illegal, immoral, and harmful on so many levels.

I hope and pray that the victims and their families can find some peace.

Sunday blues

It was a productive weekend and I hate to see it go. I enjoy being home and spending time with my family…even tho’ Hunter was at Grandma’s.

It feels like Monday brings the hustle and bustle of the week whether we are ready or not.

Nablopomo day 13

Today I am thankful for time with my husband.

Monkeys

Tomorrow is the 12th and probably the first 12th that Hunter will not be around. So I took his picture today. I’m pretty sure I have a picture of Hunter every month since he was born… one of the benefits of participating in the 12 of 12. And even though I don’t post them on the website anymore, I still try to take the shots.

Here’s my pre-12 of 12 shot of Hunter and his monkey (the monkey is the one on the left).

Today I am thankful for being born and living in a free country. And most of all I am thankful for the men and women who fight every day so that my son can enjoy the same freedoms.

fav fall foto

Memories
This is one of my favorite fall photos taken this year.

As I was looking through my flickr account for pics of the big brown dog I was very pleased with the array of shots I have. Basically it’s my life as I see it through a lens. I’m thrilled to have the memories.

Of course it also makes me sad I haven’t taken any shots since Halloween. I know what I’m doing this weekend (long weekend – woot!).

Tyler update: still not eating the can food the vet recommended but he is eating his dry food and actually played catch, yelled at the cats for getting near his food (even tho’ he’s not eating it, apparently the cats aren’t allowed to either) and just generally a little more like the old Tyler.

nablopomo day 9

Today I am thinkful for my love of photography and the memories that it has allowed me to capture.

What a difference a day makes

Dreamin'
Two weeks ago he cut the gum by his canine tooth and we were having trouble making it stop bleeding. Our vet gave us antibiotics for him and we were trying to feed him soft food. Well his tooth finally healed but he never really started eating again.

Yesterday I took Tyler back to the vet, I had to leave him there. He hasn’t been eating and was obviously weak. I actually had to lift our almost 120 lb big brown into the car. Only I found out later he only weighs 104 now… He lost 13 lbs in two weeks.

When the vet called last night, Tyler’s blood count was dangerously low and he was very anemic… at that point I thought I wouldn’t see the Tyler-Y again.

This morning the vet called back to confirm, Tyler has a LARGE mass in his tummy and it probably burst over the past few days and Tyler almost bleed out. But this morning he ate something and his blood count is rising rapidly. So we decided to bring Tyler home and hope for the best.

The thought of explaining to my 5 year old that his buddy Tyler was in heaven is a little more than I can bear. Obviously we will have to still have that conversation … and realistically it could be in a week, a month or a year. But in the meantime we can spend a bit more time with our furry family member… love him a little more and pet him a little longer.

nablopomo – day 8

Today I am thankful for a little extra time with my furry family and not having to break a 5 year old boy’s heart.
