More Pictures of Rain!




Since we haven't really seen much rain here, we take all the pictures we can when it does rain!  This past weekend was the closest we have seen to it flooding here.  We don't have a rain gauge yet, so I don't have a definite amount, but I would guess we got between 5-7 inches Sunday!  A lot of the roads were flooded.  Kris had to drive me to work because I was a little nervous!  I didn't get to take any pictures of the rivers, but I did get some of the river in our backyard!!


Update


Kris and Manu Ginobili


Kris and his golf team with some of the Spurs


Kris and I have been pretty busy.  Kris is now in the slow season. We have been to the lake with my family the first weekend off, and then we both worked the following weekend unfortunately! We are going to Port Aransas on Friday for a few days.  Then back to the lake, and then wrapping up the month with a trip to South Padre!  It is nice to have Kris available now! 

Kris got to play in the Spurs Golf Tournament on Monday.  He got to meet a lot of the player and Coach Pop.  Needless to say, his team tried hard, but came in last!  But, on the bright side, they won front row tickets to a couple of Spurs games!  That is right, we will be on the front row for our anniversary!  Luckily for Kris, I enjoy watching the Spurs!  

We are still battling with Bode's paws.  He is now on 2 more antibiotics and a special shampoo.  Poor guy, he little paws look horrible!  He has been a little attached to me here recently.  Kris said he has been crying when I leave for work!

I will be changing jobs at the end of the month.  On the first, I turned in my 30 resignation.  I am very excited about the new building I will be working at.  I will start full time in San Marcos at the building I was doing PRN work.  My boss there is amazing and actually makes you enjoy your job.  My current job is just not the right fit for me at this time.  Hopefully it will be a great change for me!

Poor Puppies!



We FINALLY got Scooter and Bode neutered!  I took them to the vet on Wednesday.  Bode was excited.  He knew the people and the place he was at, while Scooter was shaking and staying very close to me. He didn't like it when they had to leave me and go through the door!  They had to stay over night and I picked them up the next morning.  Everything went great.  Bode does have elevated liver levels and will have to go back in 3 weeks.  They said this is due to the antibiotics that he is still on!  Kris and I have had some good laughs watching them in their cone helmets!  We can take them off when we are home as long as they are not licking!  They were home for over 8 hours alone Friday, and to our surprise, the helmets were still on when we got home!  They are doing great an we are glad that is done!

September Rain!






Well, we finally got some rain.  It came at the perfect time for Kris.  They were already closed during the week, so as the rain came almost everyday during the week, we enjoyed it!  The news said parts of New Braunfels received 5 inches in one day!  And yes, the roads here do flood!  Several roads around my work were closed.  Our road was fine!  Kris took some pictures of the rain for me since I was at work!  Needless to say, things are greening up here, now that it is almost fall!  Like our river in the backyard?!?!  Luckily, our rocks didn't move!

Poor Bode!


I took Bode to the vet again last week.  He has continued to lick his paws and is losing his fur.  This time they gave him another shot which seemed to help the first time I took him in.  When we got home, I started cleaning house and noticed that Daisy and Scooter were following me around, but there was no sign of Bode.  I went in our bedroom and found him.  He had crawled into his cage and fell asleep.  You know he is in a deep sleep when he is on his back!  In the pictures, you can see his bare paws!  He is cuddling with his hedge hog that Daisy has removed all of the stuffing!  He is doing much better now.  Some of his fur is growing back, but he will be on antibiotics for a while.  He is also on a diet trial.  He can only have the "special" (and expensive) dog food.  No treats....unless it is hypoallergenic.  They did say we could give him fresh green beans or fresh carrots.  Needless to say, none of our dogs like green beans, and Daisy was the only one who would eat the carrots!  So, I have had a fun time trying to keep Bode out of Scooter's and Daisy's food, and at the same time, trying to keep them out of Bode's food!

The past few weeks have been quick for me!  I finally have a glimpse at what Kris goes through, minus the heat!  I have been working at a new building in San Marcos 6 days a week.  I have been trying to get there by 7 in the mornings and put in a couple of hours there, then head back to NB to work at Eden Home.  I am quickly finding out that I was made for 40 hours!  My body is tired and there are not enough hours in the day to get everything done!  I actually got home later than Kris did the other night....mainly because they are closing at 6 now!  In fact, after today, they are only open on weekends! This summer has gone by so fast!  We went to the end of summer dinner for Kris the other night.  He had to get up in front of everyone and talk.  He was a bit nervous, but did a good job.  I was proud of everything that I heard about him.  It sounds like he did a great job this summer! It will be nice to have my husband at home finally...if I am here!  I hope everyone is having a great summer.  We received some rain last night, but I'm not sure how much.  I need to get a rain gauge!  Well, I need to clean house.  Have a great week!
